TWO HOURS AGO: an incredible photo taken by a ut austin student capturing something deeply poetic in my opinion, a line of state troopers eagerly waiting to arrest student protesters standing just behind a sign that reads "what starts here changes the world. its starts with you and what you do each day."

“Get a rat and put it in a cage and give it two water bottles. One is just water, and one is water laced with either heroin or cocaine. If you do that, the rat will almost always prefer the drugged water and almost always kill itself very quickly, right, within a couple of weeks. So there you go. It’s our theory of addiction. Bruce comes along in the ‘70s and said, “Well, hang on a minute. We’re putting the rat in an empty cage. It’s got nothing to do. Let’s try this a little bit differently.” So Bruce built Rat Park, and Rat Park is like heaven for rats. Everything your rat about town could want, it’s got in Rat Park. It’s got lovely food. It’s got sex. It’s got loads of other rats to be friends with. It’s got loads of colored balls. Everything your rat could want. And they’ve got both the water bottles. They’ve got the drugged water and the normal water. But here’s the fascinating thing. In Rat Park, they don’t like the drugged water. They hardly use any of it. None of them ever overdose. None of them ever use in a way that looks like compulsion or addiction. There’s a really interesting human example I’ll tell you about in a minute, but what Bruce says is that shows that both the right-wing and left-wing theories of addiction are wrong. So the right-wing theory is it’s a moral failing, you’re a hedonist, you party too hard. The left-wing theory is it takes you over, your brain is hijacked. Bruce says it’s not your morality, it’s not your brain; it’s your cage. Addiction is largely an adaptation to your environment. […] We’ve created a society where significant numbers of our fellow citizens cannot bear to be present in their lives without being drugged, right? We’ve created a hyperconsumerist, hyperindividualist, isolated world that is, for a lot of people, much more like that first cage than it is like the bonded, connected cages that we need. The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection. And our whole society, the engine of our society, is geared towards making us connect with things. If you are not a good consumer capitalist citizen, if you’re spending your time bonding with the people around you and not buying stuff—in fact, we are trained from a very young age to focus our hopes and our dreams and our ambitions on things we can buy and consume. And drug addiction is really a subset of that.”

ancient roman things we should bring back

the toga

having a cool ring with a seal on it that you could sign important documents with

those arm bracelets that look like snakes

weirdly sexy religious festivals like the lupercal and bacchanalia

dating things by the founding of your city

putting dicks on everything to ward off the evil eye

niche gods like verminus, the god of worms that your cows get

I made myself a pieced and quilted plague doctor mask! 

Not for any real reason, I just realised I could so I did. It took about 5 hours of pattern drafting last night, and maybe 10 hours of actual sewing today.

I couldn’t find any fusible interfacing so instead it has two layers of cotton quilt batting, making it a bit softer and squishier than intended and also very very hot and very very hard to breathe through.

I pulled the lenses out of an old pair of sunglasses, and they can be popped out through the inside because I didn’t do a very good job on finishing the insides of the eye holes. 

The fabric is from a big stack of 10cm squares I cut about a decade ago. I will probably remake the pattern when I get some interfacing with some different prints and a couple of design tweaks, but also it has been a fun 36 hours of hyperfocus on a dumb pointless project and its 50/50 that I am over this now.
