I would be nostalgic for the old left if the old left hadn't been so often self-destructively fuckheaded. I remember the days when the coop food movement was riven with ideological factions, one taking over the warehouse with shovels from the other.
An answer? no. Lotsa little answers, consisting of gorgeously exploding sensory packets from the lifeworld, meticulously seen felt and heard, for which we are all duly grateful.
Last night the first night that the whole hunter could be seen, lying on the horizon. The sun's losing its power, but today is a high blue day, light glittering useless on the lake, beautiful metal too weak for any use.
Fuck ideology. Love the incarnate.
