“There is no reality except in action. People are nothing else than their plan; they exist only to the extent that they fulfil themself; they are therefore nothing else than the ensemble of their acts, nothing else than their life.”
Sartre
I’ll be on @swu.fm tomorrow doing the morning show at 10am with @felixjoy . Will be playing generalised 90’s, mum in the kitchen music, Bristol hip hop and jitter bangers.

“Heaven and earth are of one kin: the hierarchies of seraphs in the uttermost skies; the thrones and principalities in the zodiac; the shades that roam throughout space; the nations and families, flocks and folds of the earth; one and all, siblings in essence - All things form but one whole."
Herman Melville
A Christmas message from our pal Erving Goffman:
“Performers will give surreptitious expression to multiple versions of reality, each tending to be incompatible with the others.”
“Nothing looks the same in the light.
Only a fool like me would take to heart, the things you said you meant last night.” Wham

“The expressive coherence that is required in performances points out a crucial discrepancy between our all-too-human selves and our socialized selves. As human beings we are presumably creatures of variable impulse with moods and energies that change from one moment to the next. As characters put on for an audience, however, we must not be subjects to ups or downs. A certain bureaucratization of the spirit is expected so that we can be relied upon to give a perfectly homogenous performance at every appointed time.”
Erving Goffman
“A performer may be taken in by their own act, convinced at the moment that the impression of reality which they foster is the one and only reality. In such cases we have a sense in which the performer comes to be their own audience; they come to be performer and observer of the same show. Presumably they introcept or incorporate the standards they attempt to maintain in the presence of others so that even in the absence of others their conscience requires them to act in a socially proper way.”
“Approved attributes and their relation to face make every person their own jailer; this is a fundamental social constraint even though each person may like their cell.”
