a two week summer camp for "aspiring writers" but ends up with a bunch of kids sick of writing. good camp since there's a lot of free time but also bad. also question hole x silverware chute is the best ship but fucking elevator is getting in the way. it's ~lovely~ here (if you know you know). also creates a great meme page each session (session 2 2019 will forever live on bitches).
hey why are you going to iowa? i forgot that was even a state.
I'm going to the Iowa Young Writers' Studio
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
