Source Context
Recovered passages from the original issue text. When the raw archive preserved outbound links inside the source passage, they are listed directly under the quote.
I’m interested in drugs as something that I Cannot Do, not for lack of desire but really for sheer lack of sanity. I’m interested in California Sober as something I kind of wish was for me, but which is definitively not. Michelle Lhooq coined the term, and she describes its virality as a sign of the shifting paradigm away from alcohol but not necessarily towards asceticism, towards instead, something else. I’m interested in partying if nothing is at stake. This sounds didactic, but I mean it so sincerely - the stake of things often do give them their value, the depth of escapism lies on what you are escaping, this isn’t necessarily political but it definitely can be, etc etc etc.
