On another thread we were talking about how Moby Dick was an obviously queer novel. Like outrageously so and someone started talking about the below decks dance wearing a whale foreskin and I swear that did not resonate in any way with me and I said, as you do, “thank you brain for the sweet gift of forgetting”. Recollection is an act of creation and our executive function making the decision not to create that in our heads is a wonder.
