Hope recovery is treating you well. Keep your spirits up! ❤️❤️❤️
I’m currently reading Iain McGilchrist’s “The Master and His Emissary” about our divided brain which may or may not be applicable to your current situation! I had a little brain trauma two decades ago so have found it very interesting.
Hey Peter, glad you are still here and getting some rest :) Thank you for the recommendations... I'm still working my way through some of the reading list from your "Socialism: Let's not Resuscitate..." post (enjoying The Bolshevik Myth right now) but glad to have more to add to the short backlog.
If you're in the mood for an artistic documentary, Theo Anthony's "All Light, Everywhere" is a very interesting film about the history of a number of topics woven together in a way I never before fathomed: photography, astronomy, guns/military, and capitalist police violence. I've been watching a lot of documentaries the past couple of years, many good some bad, but this one is a great one and in terms of cinematography and (meta) storytelling, unlike any other I've seen. I watched it on Hulu in the US.
Hope the rest of your recovery goes swimmingly well. Sending you and your brain some vibrations of health and solidarity.
I'm going to put forward 'Somebody Somewhere' on HBO, Bridget Evertt's show w/ Jeff Hiller. It's really good, surprised me in how both truly funny and moving and specifically adult it is, dealing with grief and growth. Most things exhaust me recently, but it was actually healing in a way.

You wrote that you asked one of the doctors to take a photo. I understand the fascination. It may not be totally comparable, but when i had a colonoscopy i wanted to watch it on the screen, and i found it so enlightening to see my "insides", even if the colon is not a very sexy part, but then again so complex and interesting. For me it was a threshold moment. There's before/after.
I am curious. What was your emotional response when you saw that photo?
Thank you so much. You're absolutely right that we need to do more to find resources, ways to be supported and to remain active one way or another, for people in our movements as they grow older. And kind words like these help me keep going.

Great to hear from you and wishing you well.

thank you
I just finished Margaret Killjoy's collection of anarchist short stories, "We Won't Be Here Tomorrow", and greatly enjoyed its moody ambiance.
Hi Peter. Best of luck with your recovery. 🖤🖤❤️❤️
thanks

Not too many emotions since I couldn't see my face in the same photo, so it just looked like a brain
