“As soon as you begin to ask the question, Who loves me? you are completely screwed, because the next question is How Much? and then it is hundreds of hours later, and you are still hunched over your flowcharts and abacus, trying to decide if you have gotten enough. This is the loneliest job in the world: to be an accountant of the heart. It is late at night. You are by yourself, and all around you, you can hear the sounds of people moving in and out of love, pushing the turnstiles, putting their coins in the slots, paying the price which is asked, which constantly changes. No one knows why.”
— Tony Hoagland, “The Loneliest Job in the World”

"I was lazy, I wasnt trying to be malicious"
My problem with the whole Somerton apology, is that his actions were arguably malicious! If you take several steps to hide what you've done, if you start vague-tweeting at people who later have to hide their presence online because of harassment, if you dismiss lgbtq+ creator's concerns by just deleting the bits of the videos where you stole from them, you're not being "lazy", you're actually putting in a lot of work so that your version of events remains the only narrative!

DO IT SCARED
FUCK IT WE BALL
REMEMBER THAT PEOPLE CARE ABOUT YOU
MAKE THE CHOICE TO END HARMFUL PATTERNS
LOVE WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART
Mindhunter so crazy because everyone is eyeing each other with vague disgust and or annoyance while saying I’m nothing like you. But everyone’s home. Is empty.
