I keep seeing ads for this thing about Edward Said's On Late Style. It's too clever/literary for me but I like the phrase 'late style'. I like how it creates/frames the opportunity to see the work* of your later years as more than just decaying, irrelevant versions of what you did before.
I've decided to embrace my late style. Not in anything important or significant, obviously, but in what I stick on here and, I dunno, clothes and music choice etc.
*work - meaning 'work'. That nebulous cloud of work and work-like stuff I do that people aren't ever sure about. Is it my job? Does it make money? Why else would you do it? Is it a hobby? Why would that be a hobby?
