Anyone here have any literature-related tattoos?

The undesirable side effects are not comparable with those of getting a tatoo, neither in severity nor in likelihood.
The undesirable effect of getting a tatoo a probably less numerous, severe and likely than those of eating red meat more than twice a week. Think about it anon (same goes for smoking, etc).

Everything DFW did was insincere, even or perhaps especially his “non-fiction” work, so it’s hard to try to proclaim which of his material is the most insincere.

its just a phrase popularized by BED BATH & BEYOND middle-class suburban interior design when people make enough money to no longer struggle but have no artistic inclinations to speak of so they hang a piece of wood or some shit on their wall with some optimistic phrase painted in cursive. its so popular and inane that it kind of became a meme without ever actually being a meme
