Sam Miller, from The Only Rule Is It Has to Work
I've won plenty in my life--board games, Ping-Pong tournaments, hands of poker, etc.--and so I know how little winning changes anything. Winning doesn't end the quest to win. Winning doesn’t relieve the pressure to win. Winning is fun, and then it’s over. If we win this season...the world will not stop and applaud every time we enter the room. “Oh, you’re the guy who won!” nobody will say. If we win, I will drive home afterward and be as broken and flimsy as I ever was. I will struggle not to eat junk food, I will be a jerk to my family sometimes, I will get angry at people who say bad things about my work, I will get nervous about this cough that won’t go away, and when I remember that I’m going to die and that so are my parents and so is my wife and so is my daughter I’ll survive the existential dread only by convincing myself that none of it really matters, all of it is an illusion. Winning, especially, is an illusion, or at least an exaggeration.
But then what is losing? Losing is the sad inverse of winning, and yet not so easily disregarded as an illusion; losing is ruining me. Why does losing cost me so much more happiness than winning provides? Because, I come to realize, losing is not only the absence of victory but also the expenditure of an opportunity for victory. (...)
This is why losing is different. There’s a variable here besides the outcome of the game: time. Say you could monetize happiness, perfectly. How much would the happiness of winning a championship go for? Let’s say...$1,800... You’d trade a flat-screen TV for it, but not your car for it. Fair?
So now how about the happiness of losing a championship? Why, that’d be $0. I wouldn’t pay a cent for that. That sounds awful. So the difference between the two is $1,800. But there’s another variable in this equation:
Outcome + Opportunity Cost = Net
And how much is the opportunity cost? How much would you pay to have this summer back? In twenty-seven years, when you’re tumbling toward the earth in a skydive gone wrong, how much would you pay for those ninety days of health and happiness and relative youth and the chance to win that celebration on the field? All the money in the world. Everything you ever earned, for the chance to do it again.
If you win, the opportunity cost feels like nothing. You came to do something and you did it. If you had that opportunity back, you couldn’t do better than you did; it doesn’t feel like a lost opportunity at all. But if you lose, it means you came to do something and did nothing. You could have done so much more with that opportunity. So we now have:
$0 - ∞ = -∞
The value of a lost summer is negative infinity. This is the math I settle on. Baseball is a game of failure. Every game fails to forestall death.
come take a risk with me and help me make some money off doing the work that i want to do that i believe i am best suited to do.
because i’m very into survival.
thank you for your time. and, hopefully, your support.
Today’s weird aesthetic: covers from doujinshi by Renaissance Yoshida (as Denkousekka/Sonae Guy). Credit primarily to Mandarake.
So far, only “The Withering of the Akane Shinchi Flower Shop” (Songs of Self Abuse Volume 1) has made it into scanlations, and in looking up what happened to her afterwards (there are three more works in the Songs of Self Abuse series), I got lost in her prior life as a doujinka. Readers familiar with Songs of Self Abuse probably find the covers of “Kemonomichi” and “Unagi Matsuri” an early hint of where she would take her original manga. I particularly love the post-NGE vibe of her text-heavy covers (the “Folie A Deux” covers not only mimic the font stylings but also has similar gratuitous English, see here and here for the other two volumes), though the cheeky cover of “the hair” might be my favorite for its stark visual impact. Renaissance Yoshida as herself hasn’t lost the weirdness (”Withering” is plenty visual, and she’s only gotten weirder since) but it’ll probably be a while before we get a bl manga that’s released with a cover like “the hair.”
We recently shot model Park Yuri from Esteem for Korean Model’s exclusive project, Model in the Spotlight.
Stay tune for the interview and final photos with this handsome and charming model.

i hope you’re ok wherever you are
Today is sadly a perfect day to listen to Alex Anwandter’s latest album Amiga. This isn’t simply a political album; it is instead a deeply emotional album born from political events. A week ago, you might have thought that a protest album like Amiga wasn’t necessary in an era that names itself “gay friendly”, but recent events show that this is far from being truth. I’ve been translating the lyrics of Amiga to English and sharing them here. Today I translated “Manifiesto”, one of the most intense songs on the record in which Alex Anwandter loudly sings: “Today I am woman, the fag of town, even if I’m set on fire”. However, I wanted to share on Tumblr “El sonido de los corazones que se quiebran” (“The sound of the hearts that break”) because Amiga is also a heartbreak album. But what is this pain and heartbreak to a society that doesn’t recognize its past love? “They aren’t heard” Alex Anwandter sings towards the end – and I don’t want to know how many queer people are suffering right now and aren’t heard.
[Verse] Come, friend (1) Come, my love I want to talk to you One more time
[Pre-chorus] If I once told you That we were always going to be together I repeat it maybe Louder so that it is heard among
[Chorus] The sound of the hearts that break Every time that you and I break the promise I was going to be your fellow and you, my most friend Don’t hear the sound I take care of you from this unfair world, my love
[Verse] Come, friend, Last time, How do I explain what is gone
to a world that doesn’t understand what you and I had? That maybe I changed and that they all suffer and are deaf
[Chorus] to the sound of the hearts that break Every time that you and I break the promise I was going to be your fellow And you, my most friend Don’t hear the sound I take care of you from this unfair world, my love
[Bridge] Think of the others who are wrong that one never suffers like the ones who truly suffer.
The sound of the hearts that break The sound of the hearts that break The sound of the hearts that break The sound of the hearts that break (They aren’t heard) The sound of the hearts that break (They aren’t heard)
[Outro] If I once told you that we were going to be together I didn’t mean to cheat you I didn’t mean to cheat you.
(1) The word Alex Anwandter uses throughout the song and that is also the album’s title is “Amiga” which is the feminine form of “friend”.
