I got your hot letter tonight and have been trying to picture you frigging your cunt in the closet. How do you do it? Do you stand against the wall with your hand tickling up under your clothes or do you squat down on the hole with your skirts up and your hand hard at work in through the slit of your drawers? Does it give you the horn now to shit? I wonder how you can do it. Do you come in the act of shitting or do you frig yourself off first and then shit? It must be a fearfully lecherous thing to see a girl with her clothes up frigging furiously at her cunt, to see her pretty white drawers pulled open behind and her bum sticking out and a fat brown thing stuck half-way out of her hole. You say you will shit your drawers, dear, and let me fuck you then. I would like to hear you shit them, dear, first and then fuck you. Some night when we are somewhere in the dark and talking dirty and you feel your shite ready to fall put your arms around my neck in shame and shit it down softly. The sound will madden me and when I pull up your dress

i wanted to understand how charitable trusts worked so i sent away for a package on "tax advice for donations" or something from my university without thinking and afterwards i got a bunch of emails from some person in charge of major donations or whatever that were like "we admire and respect your support for your university" or something and i just deleted them all but they started getting weird so i emailed back being like "i have no money" and she was like oh well then umm think about putting us in your will goodbye

i actually have read a fair amount of zizek, and the problem is that he genuinely advocates for lazy intellectual quietude accelerationism, there is no such thing as a zizekian revolutionary praxis except perhaps for the armchair activism embodied by leftist internet forums. shun anything that tries to give even a shred of credibility to that kind of attitude. also some of his books are shameless coffee table tripe, like living in the end times. it was garbage.

that aside zizek can be fun to read, i do find him entertaining and that is his primary value. treat zizek like fiction. also i think i liked his work on the jew as an empty signifier but if anyone challenges me on that i'll have to actually read it again so please don't.

He's a bad influence because people are too ignorant to not take him seriously

haha uh i'm a little curious about this


FUCK

I last thought about zizek on the jew as empty signifier in a conversation with a friend about interrogating the holocaust from the direction of gender as an alternative perspective to framing everything in terms of antisemitism, in this mode the jew is an empty signifier that serves as the unifying link in pursuing genocide against queers/roma/bolsheviks/disability etc as the nazi discourse ties them to an essential (nonexistent) jewishness. zizek's take on it links back to predictably lacanian structures.

there are some really cool jewish and queer theorists who have also done work on this, and you should probably read them instead. the name escapes me but there's this one really rad woman and I should probably read more of her. i'm having beers w/ that same friend tonight, i'll ask her and maybe bring some namedrops back to you?

He actually does say these really clever things that make perfect sense sometimes which is disconcerting
