Watch: The Abigails’ Medication.
There are hobbies, and then there are lifestyles. The former tends to come with the non-committal ambiguity of something to merely pass the time, to fool the world that something is giving you an identity, while the latter takes the urgency of emergency, of pre-destined presence that is already encoded in one’s own DNA. After … Continue reading
