"And I don't want our identities to be defined according to how oppressed we are. May we optimize for joy."

#Listening to Junior Citizen by #PosterChildren;

"Tonight we launch the bird and start to spread the word
We punch through the atmosphere with a signal loud and clear
We're searching for the truth and some new recruits
To join us in the war against the empire of the bored

...

There are no leaders, there are no rules
This isn't TV, it's not high school
No more uniforms, we don't care
About the color of your shirt, shoes, skin or hair"

"I don't wanna hear from those who know
They can buy but can't put on my clothes
I don't wanna limp for them to walk
Never would have known of me before

I don't wanna be held in your debt
I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed
I'm already cut up and half-dead
I'll end up alone like I began"

#PearlJam, Corduroy, from the 1994 album Vitalogy

"Oh, visited by thoughts, and this I got to say
If you're feeling the leaving, I can't make you stay
I've only ever wanted for it not to be this way
But you're now like the water, and the water will find its way"

Pearl Jam, Combing Through the Wreckage, from the 2024 album Dark Matter
