a life worth living
yall gotta start qualifying your thoughts with some sort of admission of subjectivity, i feel like every post i see is some declaration of subjective opinion stated like its a fact and its making me deranged
This is my main bone to pick with the kind of post that circulates occasionally, which condescendingly reminds the reader that “not all posts are made for you/most posts reflect the op’s thoughts and opinions, and as such aren’t intended to be prescriptive”. while that may hold true in certain cases, (anecdotally and in my opinion,) this site appears to reward posts that use strong and decisive language, even if the core of what they’re communicating is truly just a personal opinion/anecdote (which isn’t always or even usually the case!)
for example, it’s the difference between saying, “in my personal experience, going outside and doing things with my hands has alleviated some of the more debilitating effects of severe depression”, and saying, “you have to go outside sometimes. you have to know who you are when you aren’t consuming media.” and making it into this moral imperative. and I can’t blame anyone for taking issue with the wording of the latter!
He was a master storyteller, and a master baby whisperer, having rocked my 7 month old to sleep in the middle of shooting our episode of @PartsUnknownCNN in #Gaza. I wasn’t sure what to expect of him, but upon first setting foot in Gaza where we met, the first thing he said to me was that he was absolutely dumbfounded at what he’d witnessed in the West Bank and Jerusalem. “That is something seriously (expletive) up. And one has to see it to believe it. I told the Israelis-you are not gonna like the cake you’re baking-it’s only a matter of time before it implodes.” He also later confided to me that the episode almost didn’t air “We fought like hell, though, to tell the stories we did–best we could tell them and I’m, on balance pretty happy-though definite reservations. In any event, all the right people are infuriated.” The Peabody Awards describes him best when they said “He (was) irreverent, honest, curious, never condescending, never obsequious.” RIP @Bourdain

“Unlike many journalists and foreign visitors who had crossed my path while working as a field producer, Anthony Bourdain did not once put me or anyone I introduced him to in a position to ‘explain’ our humanity. A man of few words, he embodied what it means to ‘just be there’ and be witness to someone’s painful experience without having to provide trivial sympathies or sprinkle salt on wounds still open. […]
In Arabic we say that hearts are the homes of secrets; some secrets love to torment us and some stay with us until we die. We also say that a life that gives is a life that never ends. That is small consolation to Islam and to me and to so many others who are forever touched and changed by Anthony Bourdain’s wild and daring life.
Tony, we send you love in your transition. You once confided, ‘I wish I didn’t have to leave all the time.’ I hope your feet find their grounding in the other realm.”
Is it surprising that the cellular prison, with its regular chronologies, forced labour, its authorities of surveillance and registration, its experts in normality, who continue and multiply the functions of the judge, should have become the modern instrument of penality? Is it surprising that prisons resemble factories, schools, barracks, hospitals, which all resemble prisons?
