1. Classic “Writer” Hat Truly: “classic.” Because, finally, you can announce your theoretical avocation by owning and wearing the very same baseball cap worn by Plutarch, Ovid, Aristophanes, and Heraclitus.1 Seriously. If you’ve ever wrestled with the complex and often difficult process of discovery confronting anyone who wishes to write often and well, consider that you may have neglected to buy a fucking hat. As you know, Parmenides preferred to write while wearing the yellowed laurel of grapevines and olive branches that his father had fashioned for him as a toddler—positing that, like all matter, sartorial decisions are, by their nature, eternally unchangeable (viz. ὡς οὐκ ἐστίν). ↩
