Jung moment #1 from last week: I'm reading Goethe's Faust with a friend, we call each other each month and update each other on how it's going, and last month he mentioned how Jung was really into Faust so I checked out his "Memories, Dreams, Reflections" from the library and he is indeed really into Faust based on the first few chapters. He's also into phalluses and poop, obviously.
Jung Moment #2 from last week: I'm reading Meaghan Garvey's amazing Substack SCARY COOL SAD GOODBYE about going to dive bars in the Midwest (you would really love her) and she dropped a random Jung quote from the same book. I think because Jung is basically just making these (often silly, sometimes brilliant) associations based on random stuff that happens in his life, it's kind of like **everything** could be about Jung, especially if you're documenting extreme behavior like Garvey (and you!).
Oh no. That JCrew bag needs to be returned to this duck with all its contents and “thanks for loaning me the Red Book.” Not because there is anything wrong with enjoying gay porn but because we don’t tell strangers about our dreams… and then passive-aggressively proposition them while they are at work.
these vignettes you write are amazing. i live in pakistan so i don't know if i'll be able to get my hands on cubafruit but i sure hope so. i'm also a huge admirer of robert caro and incurably nosey about his process, so i look forward to the day i can afford to be a paying subscriber. all this to say that you do great work, it reaches people far far away, and long may you go on doing it. i want to express my admiration, basically, albeit not in a dream-book-giving way.
Be prepared - that man's definitely coming back to proposition you at some point...
I have seen him every single night for two weeks.
Oh my! Good luck with that my friend.

Of all the unhinged grocery store shit you've written about, this has to be top three.
Thank you I hate it here but I am happy to hear this!
Consider it community service. For your substack community
I had a teacher in college give me a copy of atlas shrugged kind of like this...yea I went to business school, how could you tell?
~ dare not speak its name ~
Jung’s work has been following me around recently. It’s funny how he shows up in an article about porno.
Wow… Nothing about this was expected at all
Was this a dream?
For better and for worse it seems to simply be life.
Your life is our dreamscape. Thanks for continuing to breathe it into existence!
You were not being judgy- you were being ATTENTIVE to DETAILS to share with us later! 🤣🤗♥️
interesting. I like how it circles back to the guy in the end!
