Quite on the contrary, we wish you the best of health and want to remind you to stay hydrated and well fed and also that it’s probably not too late to eat that nestle guy with the vaporwave beanie.

It’s sort of weird to imagine this guy being part of the group that inspired fight club. Much like the movie itself being a corporate bankrolled blockbuster featuring Brad Pitt’s abs while commenting on images of masculinity in the media. Theyre pretty old now but I have to wonder if they used to take their cash and do a secret burning man without all the squares.

If they had just burnt the mud rather than the man they could of all fled days ago. Makes you think. Think about burning mud.

In hindsight, holding Burning Man during Nevada's hurricane season wasn't a great idea.

I have seen appeals for how Burning Man isn't just all the rich bros, there's a lot of cool artists and a lot of hardworking people who make it happen aaaand And that may be so, but as someone who has been a part of a few art festivals run by non-profits and bailed when they got lovely - just the fact that people are 'doing the work' doesn't become self-justifying, sometimes good efforts get co-opted by the rich and powerful and there's no working hard and taking them back, there's just moving on and making a new thing that hopefully the rich assholes take longer to figure out exists. I honestly am not going to spare many sad thoughts for the people who are now helping the bloated system keep going. I will simply pray they figure out they need to escape before it eats them.
