all i wanna do today regarding social media is purchase several thousand copies of ray mungo's "famous long ago" and tom wolfe's "electric kool-aid acid test" -- my two favorite documents of how the counterculture of the 60s failed good and hard -- and go around shoving them up Discourse People's noses

@zebratron2084 Y'want I should get the nostril speculum, bosscat?

@LexYeen no

no hun i really appreciate it but i think we're past that point

which is why i have invented

THE NOSTRIL PORTAL

i mean honestly given the uh "openness" of some of these people's mental landscapes if you have any like old furniture or dead bodies or anything to dispose of while i'm up in there it's not like it's gonna make a lot of difference

@zebratron2084 Let's contact the city, get a sewage line run in there while we're at it. I hear those disposal contracts are juicy. :blobyeengrin:

@zebratron2084 @LexYeen had to read back to figure out this post was not about it being cold season

@zebratron2084 At some point I should try to get one or both of these in my head in a more traditional fashion, now that you mention it

@treaclewasps Be warned that Ray Mungo, in particular is A MADDENING PERSON. His own foreward author, Eric Utne, kinda trashes him in it and complains that he owes him money, at least in my edition. XD
