The man is far too self-assured for someone so ugly and boring, and the woman has a laugh that makes me want to jump out of a window, and the whole thing is a deliberate waste of time, but you have to listen because that is LIFE. Listen to this really shitty podcast about it. Here’s a picture of the fatberg for you, and some updated statistics about how soon we will all be dead. ![]() Libras: Things are bad, yes, but is it fine to talk very briefly about an exhibition I went to? It was amazing, there was this sort of glittery-Įveryone else: FUCK OFF. Everyone else is finding release by pointing out how much everything is just absolutely the fucking worst and apparently could not possibly become more embarrassing and lame and gross but yet is somehow managing to do so. They would rather draw our attention to what is harmonious and beautiful, and to gamely suggest that we strive to find more of these things in our daily existence. It is to insist though that Libras don’t like to admit that things are disgusting or terrible, even when they know that they are. This is not at all to imply that Libras are creepy amoral aesthetes. ![]() (Happy Birthday to you on this day, Gwyneth Paltrow.) Libras are accustomed to leading a charmed life, to living in a world which allows for the languorous appreciation of beauty, or at least a world where you can run a company such as Goop without having everyone else roll their eyes at you so hard it looks as if they are having some sort of collective fit. You know what else is difficult for a Libra to stomach? The very existence of difficult things. Everyone is mighty ruffled at all times now, and baying their decisions through a megaphone while putting up a whole lot of hazard tape around the area once known as the middle ground. For many Libras, that is a day so far in the future as to be almost theoretical. The entire point of being a Libra is to consider an issue from as many perspectives as possible, and maintain an air of unruffled even-handedness until the day they are sure their decision is the correct one. Libras, on the other hand, are finding it all quite a strain. In another, less toxic time, this is the kind of quality that would get me shunned. I myself was born to rush to judgment, and then afterwards to come up with all the reasons why I am right and everyone who opposes me is a fascist. Slowing down to examine the other side’s opinions or arguments means slowing down to consider the feelings of the worst people ever invented, and who wants or needs to do that? Where has that got us, lately? No dithering or withholding judgment, please. This is not the moment for holding up a hand and suggesting that we look at the issue From All Sides. Everything that happens immediately results in vicious and polarizing debate, and nobody with any sense wants to be caught fucking around on the middle ground. It’s difficult to be a Libra at the moment. ![]() “Please, just give me a moment to process this.” (Image: Zodiac Signs of Libra)
