I don’t have much to say, so I won’t say much.
You ready for the weekend? Yesterday felt like Friday, and today feels like Saturday. I don’t know what that means in the grand scheme, but I’ll find out. I had a dream that Dee was cooking Spam. It smelled fantastic. The dream was so real when I woke up, I went straight to the kitchen. No diced Spam with garlic and onions.
I’m gonna turn the piece I published yesterday into several runners or a skit. By the way, I’m in that place again, sitting on the couch and contemplating the end of my life. Not in a suicidal or sad way, just thinking about my mortality.
Hey! Who Said That?
If you’re interested in the original info, which is must-have knowledge, according to me.
A super short summary from the book: I couldn’t include everything they covered:
From the General Introduction section
Antonio Gramsci was born in 1891 in Ales, Sardinia, into a family that soon faced severe hardship. His father, once on track to become a lawyer, was imprisoned for political reasons, leaving Gramsci’s mother to raise seven children alone in poverty. Despite chronic illness and a spinal deformity that left him physically small and frail, Gramsci showed intellectual promise. After interruptions in his schooling due to financial constraints, he returned to study and eventually passed the exam to attend a senior school in Cagliari.
In Cagliari, Gramsci lived with his older brother Gennaro, a socialist who introduced him to political thought and sent him socialist pamphlets. Gramsci’s early political sympathies were shaped by both his brother’s influence and the brutal suppression of a Sardinian uprising in 1906, which initially fueled his belief in Sardinian nationalism. However, his later experiences in mainland Italy led him toward Marxism and a broader concern for class struggle. Even so, his early exposure to regional injustice left a lasting imprint on his understanding of the intersection between class and cultural identity.
