In a dream from today, I run a media operation out of a brothel/hostel in an unspecified Southern country. The shower is faulty, and I yell at the manager: “I pay you so that I can SLEEP, FUCK, SHOWER, and WORK in peace!” I say that none of these conditions are met, but I’m exaggerating: the fucking and the working are actually going quite well.
This is what got me up today. Of course, I didn't do what I set out to do. Which is a shame. But it got me up. And that was a good thing. Thank you. I so want to write...
Writing well is one of the most difficult activities, IMO. I agree that language can change the way we think, since language is HOW humans think after about the age of 3, per Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky (link below). I think Zelensky should hold off on legalizing cannabis and/or psychedelics, or none of his soldiers will be motivated to fight. Maybe he should work on ways to get the drugs to the Russian soldiers!

Thanks for this message, Lucy, it might help me get up tomorrow.
