it’s the . time to waste some time.

slug is a rebellion quiet as moss. slow as dusk. standing (sitting, sprawling, simply there) against the gleam of want-more, need-more.

we know the world won’t pause, the system won’t stutter for us. there’s always more to know, to do, to grasp at.

here is a silver trace of slowness. a gentle nudge to fall out of step.
waste time. drift into the soft hollow of boredom, of freedom.

stay here. waste a while.

writer & poet ilona lodewijckx found herself bound to the steady drip drip drip of dopamine coming from curated feeds & algorithms. her attention frayed thin. she decided to reacquaint herself with a lost art: the art of being bored.

slug is the result of this search. a way to carve out space. physical. mental. temporal. space for what doesn’t demand. doesn’t insist. unproductivity. purposelessness. soothing unconcentration. slug is a gentle rebellion against our system of hyper-speed & hyper-sell. of every second filled & filled. it celebrates time well wasted. knowing only in open space can new things find shape.

slug isn’t a way of looking away. or disconnecting just to disappear. we stand firm with palestine. lebanon. sudan. congo. & all who resist oppression.
