I asked my wife if she would be okay with me growing out my beard like this, and she immediately said no with a firm coldness that hollowed my heart.

Funny story: I was part of a Marxist reading group back when I was a student because I had the desire to read more traditional Marxist philosophy (which unfortunately they rarely did). I left the group after they did a reading arguing that Capitalism invented homosexuality.
you can't be a marxist and transphobic

I participated in this reading group along with one on phenomenology, which I definitely preferred, though it also had its issues; personally, I don't consider myself a Marxist, and I don't know where I was going with this story. It wasn't meant to be a "gotcha" toward Marxists.

Pretty depressed today. Listening to Ryuichi Sakamoto and working on my lectures.

I might get back into doing sitting meditation; I used to do it back when I quit drinking and was suicidally depressed. Now my students are driving me to do it. I had a student ultimately admit to me that they were illiterate.

I thought that I would treat myself to a gift. I got the new Castlevania game and Final Fantasy Resonance.

For me, it was mostly the first albums that I bought that made me a fan of both Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk. When I was a kid, the first album I bought of theirs was "Solo Monk," and the opening song "Dinah" still has a special place in my heart. 1/6
Which song made you a fan of an artist for life?

There are many moments in life that I like to describe as doorways where a person, whether living or dead, opens up a door for you that brings you forth into new horizons, new feelings and experiences you didn't know existed before. 5/6

For me, a pivotal moment in my mental development was shaped by these two albums. They not only introduced me to new genres of music but also changed me on a fundamental and spiritual level. This is the beauty and power of music. 6/6

I consider myself a pacifist, but I would wish God to bring this man back from dead in order to strangle him to death with my own hands.

I am just joking; I do not wish any violence, but I would have some strong words to say to him.

There truly is a sexual fetishisation of fascism which seems rampant on Twitter. This desire for dominance and too be dominated. The social bubble just exacerbates the stupidity.

Specifically thinking about all this Malfoy and Anakin bullshit. It's weird.
