#69. The Sad Oompa Loompa and You
dear josh,
great piece! as always! this particularly resonates with me:
"It’s so wonderful to experience culture that gets to become the thing it’s best suited to be, or to start by meeting a piece of work on its terms! Like, have you ever tried to unscrew a screw with pliers because you don’t have a screwdriver, and it kind of works, but it’s kind of shitty? And then you find a screwdriver and you’re like ahh…that’s right! So often we get mad because things are a bad version of something they aren’t, rather than giving them credit for being pretty good at what they are."
you, my friend, are an excellent screwdriver. did i get the message?
love,
myq
