Utopalips


Many of us are relaxing our minds into this secret tide - I flew out of T.F. Green for my once-yearly return to Moldova and come to find out that the theme of Ralu's pre-Bastille Day Party is "The Utopalypse" (!) where we will all use Universal 500 model hand-grain mills, and at times the best footwear will be platform boots with crampons. Special prizes will be awarded to those who can withstand waterboarding for the most minutes and moustache trimming will be performed with an elegant scissor from Cronenberglandia. And then, when I calmed my mind and excused myself from the group work-day for a moment, this message came from the Dust:

"as the economy crumbles further under the weight of stacked illusions, we're going
to have to keep finding more creative ways to adapt. that might make us more
interdependent, more connected to one another. we're going to survive by unsettling
one another's lives a little more."


I shared it with the other buzzing bees and we have decided to make a banner of it for the party.
