I’m Ryan James de Martinez y Mitchell, a history / sci-fi geek, Mandarin-Spanish-Japanese-French-English creole mumbler, and student at Harvard Law School. I intend to use this blog for Symbolist musings, newsings, and rambly mumblings about the human capacity for play. Playing with language, playing with ideas, playing with body parts.
Why “Right Facing Triangle” ? Because this now-omnipresent symbol for play best represents the infinite capacity for forward human progress, driven simply by thymos–the passionate spirit of experimentation. No really! It does represent that. Culture isn’t made, it’s played.
Anywhich, mostly this pro-play propaganda will take the form of weird poetry and short stories. Like them? Send me money. Or fame, or women. Or money with famous women printed on it. (As of this writing, the pound is pretty strong against the dollar).
