In the Interim w/

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and good night. You’re in the interim with Paul Dylan.

First, audio from a YouTube video called Turn back time (Red Army and USSR). As a person, I’d see it relaunched, but then as individual, I’m not so sure.

And now a message from our sponsor, RoboChrist. Get lost in Jesus’ eyes with our live service model. One, three, or six coins a month. From the makers of RoboBride and Your Algorithmic Girlfriend (she came prepared, with dynamic hair, voice, and complexion.)

Quit seeking, for every day you don’t wake up screaming, count yourself lucky. Moisture the sink beneath your eyes. And your papers are laid as the register shakes to performance staged complaint. Kicking cherry blossom petals off rose thorned sheets. And the Devil would leave me dreams which turn to shame in the light of the workday. You can pay and take screenshots and send them to your friends. Quite soon it will come. We all contain the Antichrist.

Tracklist: I Dreamed a Dream from Les Misérables (Original 1985 London Cast Recording) Marx and Engels / Belle and Sebastian Margaret on the Guillotine / Morrissey Walls (Fun in the Oven) from 12 Crass Songs / Jeffrey Lewis

The people are too much for me. I hate to need their help. I’ll be back, and in the meantime, get back to work. A real buzz and a blister vibrates before the alarm through my stomach and ground. So I go back to work. Pay attention for a tin of coins. Because I have nowhere I feel homesick. Call the doctor and tell him I’m down. Tell him I’m ill.

From Chapter 1 of The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin:

“There was a wall. It did not look important. It was built of uncut rocks roughly mortared. An adult could look right over it, and even a child could climb it. Where it crossed the roadway, instead of having a gate it degenerated into mere geometry, a line, an idea of boundary. But the idea was real. For seven generations there had been nothing in the world more important than that wall. Like all walls it was ambiguous, two-faced. What was inside it and what was outside it depended upon which side of it you were on.” How can I say, ‘Fine, thanks, how are you?’ if anyone tries to ask?

Encourage people to ask other questions, using them as a primary method for deeper understanding, engagement, and personal reflection. The confidence trickster. Mercurial, not enigmatic. A mountebank, a quack, a sharper. Quite a contrast to the mental health mesmerist. The bubba gum stuck on my shoe. Cagliostro, Tartuffe!

From Chapter 7 of The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin:

“It is an ugly world. Anarres is all dusty and dry hills. And the people aren’t beautiful. The towns are very small and dull, they are dreary. Life is dull, and hard work. You can’t always have what you want, or even what you need, because there isn’t enough. You Urrasti have enough. You are rich, you own. We are poor, we lack. You have, we do not have. Everything is beautiful here. Only not the faces. On Anarres nothing is beautiful, nothing but the faces. We have nothing but that, nothing but each other. Here you see the jewels, there you see the eyes. And in the eyes you see the splendor of the human spirit. Because our men and women are free—possessing nothing, they are free. And you the possessors are possessed. You are all in jail. Each alone, solitary, with a heap of what he owns. You live in prison, die in prison. It is all I can see in your eyes—the wall, the wall!”
