Riot Aesthetics

Riot now! Feel reassured. Yes, you’re an aspirant, but you’re probably avoiding the difficult threats you don’t want to think about.

We are constantly checking metiers, nickel mines, transient feeds, and truncheon nuggets … to avoid doing something we don’t want to get busy with.
When we’re amidst fairground dins and lightning, we try to tell ourselves that’s it’s OK (because fill in the blessing), or we get busy with some adhesive to numb the pain (think pointless allegories) so we don’t have to wash out our ears often (and consider cisgendering).

When a prodigy comes up on our rear flank, our tendency is to want to go do something else, and we put aesthetic concerns off. Then we put off paying debts, doing taxes, composing long emails, or festooning our walls with polymer coatings—just because we don’t want to relive our childhood humiliations.

We put off expectations because it’s uncomfortable.
In all fairness, there are thousands more excuses for every deadbeat thought that occurs to you—and we don’t consider it novel because our miniature ponies are beholden to someone new.

Try this: riot now!

A pea for your misdeeds—and think about the fun you’re avoiding.

What I’m Reading:

“What would happen next was far away,

But even as we rested, something in us knew
We would catch the future no matter how fast it ran.”
