Why do ideas that seemed radical just 6 months ago seem so played out now? Does repetition yield new becomings or burnout? Rituals can be an answer to the production of the self and the excessive search for trends and novelty. Rituals bring closure while stabilizing life and allow it to flourish. We look at all this through Byung Chul Han’s The Disappearance of Rituals, Werner Schroeter’s adaptation of the book Malina, and Desert Islands by Giles Deleuze…

Sleepy Time Bear is a twitter user well known for his universally beloved and beautiful romantic modern poetry. In omnipresent flashes of digital hate-release, he spreads fondness on the TL, bringing joy to anyone who comes across his Celestial Seasons avatar.

We talk about erotic poetry and the language of love, from the anonymous, steamy, adulterous lais of Marie De France to Heloise and Abbard and William Blake; an appreciation of The Ladies, just 'understanding' things, making theorycels angry, and some great advice from the bear himself. He has been described as an 'instant anti-depressant'.

"A woman's photos on her phone are better curated than any 'exhibit'"...so true.
