Hope Lies in the Proles. Um. Kinda?
“There’s a storm coming, Mr. Wayne. You and your friends better batten down the hatches. Because when it hits you’re all going to wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.” Under a cut then, for Dark Knight Rises spoilers. [[MORE]]

In a way, America feels like it was immersion therapy. But no. That’s not quite right. More like the instinct that I had been honing, less quietly than my friends might have liked maybe, the instinct for impermanence and one long, seamless road folding into the horizon, it was right. It was what I needed. I needed weeks of waking, driving, sleeping, waking, driving, sleeping. An automaton...

Ok so this week I discovered Gaslight Anthem (and why did no one ever tell me they weren’t a shitty emo punk band with a terrible logo and unattractive fans like their REALLY AWFUL name suggests) and I just realised that they super closely reference Counting Crows’ Round Here in High Lonesome. I knew my embarrassing teenage obsession with Counting Crows would one day yield high returns....

winter
This newness, one suture past you, a rubbed wound where you escaped, where I drove you out, this newness, an architect in love with his latest demolition, it’s what having faith must be like, only warmer, or at least less alarming when you fuck up (no hitching breath as you pull your underwear back on, sneak home in the dawn before he wakes and don’t shower because you need the sleep more. You can...

can't stand me now.
On saturday night, somewhere between being dressed as Kurt Cobain at the Clare and then not being dressed as Kurt Cobain at the Townie, we made a brief detour into the Abercrombie. The Abercrombie. I don’t even want to romanticise that shit again, what it was to us all, the things that happened there. I’ve done it before and I don’t feel any softness toward the memory right now,...

It’s a quiet thing, a recovery, inching from the pages and pages self-penned in exhaustion, as a last resort, as a blueprint for catastrophe. Inching from the woods, red hood still pulled up and over but in tentative survey of the wide world ahead. Inching from the grip of a curse cast lazily, from the inside, some speechless punishment. It’s a quiet thing to know what a tongue is...

So, I’m meeting people in Balmain after work, because we’re all back from overseas, some more recently than others. I woke up this morning and thought, ‘right Mush, you’re going somewhere nice after work, make sure you get dressed today with that in mind, it needs to carry over into night time wear with actual adults. You’re going to be drinking wine, there will...

Male Privilege #14
aboutmaleprivilege:
Nobody tries to take away your right to use a condom. Nobody hammers into your head that you should feel guilty and shameful about preventing your gift-from-God sperm from fertilizing an egg and thus ensuring the birth of a beautiful child. No politician tells you using condoms makes you a slut. Nobody bombs a convenience store that sells condoms, threatens people who put...

“The experience of being raped has touched every aspect of my life. People like Ron Rosenberg, the PR head for Tomb Raider, tend to talk about rape like it’s some character-building challenge to overcome, a wound that heals into scar tissue, making you tougher. That’s a fundamental misunderstanding. Rape isn’t a scar, it’s a limp — you carry it with you as long as you’re alive, and it makes...

Jetlag
I keep waking up in the middle of the night, like now, completely disoriented. I don’t know where I am - what country, what city, what house, what room - and I don’t know who I’m sharing a room with. I had dinner with Julia tonight, who lives maybe a five minute drive away, but just now when I woke up, and as I fumbled for the direction I thought my phone was in, I was concerned that the light...

How the Logic of "Friendzoning" Would Work If...
*Man walks into a store and finds employee*
Man: Alright, I've had enough. Why haven't you guys hired me?!
Employee: Uh...well sir, when did you put in your application?
Man: I never filled out an application.
Employee: Well sir, we can't consider you for employment if you've never filled out an application.
Man: No, that's bullshit, because I've been coming here for years now, and every single time I tell you all how much I love this store and how much I appreciate your customer service, unlike some of your other customers might I add!
Employee: Well, but that doesn't-
Man: AND I even told you that I didn't have a job!
Employee: But sir, that doesn't indicate to us that you would like a job at our store. And again, if you've never filled out an application, we can't consider you. Besides, we're not hiring.
Man: OH! Not hiring, HA! What a laugh. I see your store go through seasonal workers all the time. They come and go like nothing, but you won't consider me as a part-time employee even though I KNOW you've been looking for workers to fill positions? That's insane!
Employee: Sir, we've been looking to hire a few people for management positions. Do you have any management experience?
Man: Well no, but what does that matter?
Employee: ...Well sir, that's what we're looking for. You won't be suitable for the position without management experience.
Man: Oh that's such a load of crap. You know, you'll be waiting around a long time for a manager if you don't lower your standards a little. Who cares if someone knows how to manage a store? I LOVE this store and I'm willing to work here, that's all that should matter to you.
Employee: That...doesn't make any sense.
Man: NO! I'm done. This is over. From now on, no more Mr. Nice Guy.
Employee:
Man:
Employee:
Man: Fuck you, slut.

There’s certain songs that I can’t listen to anymore, just from overplaying them while DJing. It’s like saying a word too many times and it becoming weird.

the science of war
We went into the wilderness to count out our ribs split them down the middle,
portion out the ragged edges, the shark-tooth ridges an indictment, my teeth worn down, bloody-faced and shy; I’d tried to eat through to your peat heart, lillith toward a baby,
and in the comedown, now, we sign off on the swell of sinew, card through the grizzle of marrow, the whirling carousels of primary colour DNA,...

Across the Breeze
Driving the rental car back to the drop-off centre tonight, I don’t think I saw any of LA. I cried so hard, thinking about what would happen when I get home, thinking about the wonderful places we’ve been, the tiny towns and the middle of nowheres, the oceans and deserts and mountains and plains and waterfalls and sand dunes, the cities and rain and mirages. The thousands of miles, the...
