I had to watch it, then the rest of Lynch's films over the years and then come back to it twice to "get it". I don't get how that film seems to be the gateway to his work
I am not doing well, fam. Might check into a respite house soon
No vulgar language here. G*mers, please.
OP invited these kinds of replies by comparing his struggles to those of oppressed people in other countries. I don't think people would be jumping down his throat if it was just a vent post.
I totally understand where he is coming from and empathize with some of it. I even understand why he is making the comparison, feeling so much frustration over time will bubble up and spill out in irrational ways. But those thoughts are still ones that should be interrogated by the individual having them. It's not wrong to feel self pity sometimes, IMO, and it's not wrong to be frustrated about how we in the US are treated, it's just the comparison piece that needs to be worked on.
Yeah I think thats it. Idk if maybe the Intercept reprinted it, because I read it in 2012-2013. Part way through I had to go smoke a cigarette and cry. Definitely radicalized me
I seriously recommend anyone who has been asked to self-crit about their position on Israel to join the anti - Zionist reading group. Challenge yourself, it's what principled leftists do. Even if you don't need to be challenged, I would recommend it.
If you aren't a big reader, It's a relatively short book, with short chapters and the writer is phenomenal. Not written in a dense academic fashion at all, but it is very brutal. I finished the first two chapters in a sitting.
I expect that might be what I'll have to do as well 
There's only one other text that hit me like this and it was a news article that I had to read for school narrated by a woman who survived a massacre in El Salvador in the 80's.
In this book, In the case of the first page, I felt a sense of banality behind the terrible things he was describing which made it all the more horrific. I really hope that the people who NEED to read this are doing so
Edit: I mean in the author's chosen narrative style
Lmao that's exactly it, you know what's up! He never did that up until a year or so ago (hes almost 8).
I like to think that cats are like RPG characters in that they accumulate XP and level up to unlock new skills. Like he used to be so quiet and one day he became super chatty, we have had the same cat tree since he was a kitten and just 2-3, years ago he figured out that he could sleep on the very top perch, one day he figured out that he could perch on my shoulder, etc.
The duality of cat 
I will pray that you don't wake up with pinkeye
Just settling in to the book as I'm planning on catching up, and even the first page has me tearing up. Damn
It isn't clear yet because my professor is disorganized and vague as fuck, but I may have to do some interviews for an assignment about living with autism/ADHD/etc.
If anyone would be willing to participate that would be awesome! I think it could be cool to get perspectives from people who don't live in the US, but it's not required.
Thank you for your consideration
