I nearly went to YCSE last night, but y'all are still being annoying about it, so I went w/ Creton's SECTEUR 545 instead & quickly welcomed my decision. Obtrusive discourse has me sprinting in the opposite direction these days. Long-term value > short-term FOMO alleviation.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington // Frank Capra "We lock them in our schools, we teach them our stupid taboos, we catch them in our wars, we massacre the innocents. The world is for children. The real world. They climb trees and roll on the grass, close to the ants."

There are three volumes of these OWC translations left to be published—should I just go ahead and start this thing?
