The toilet was plugged. I fixed it with a snake but the snake required banging the curved part against the porcelain which resulted in dark streaks where the water meets the bowl. Now, one might think those marks against porcelain are shit stains but nope. Conundrum. Now our family thinks when company uses the bathroom they will think whoever last used it left prominent shit stains. But they are not shit stains. Is this a dilemma or the fact that if they were legitimate shit stains, why should one care? Isn’t the purpose of a toilet to do to exactly what those markings represent? All the time I have been in academia, listening to explanations about Derrida, Foucault, Butler or Harraway’s Chthulucene they never supplied me a philosophical dilemma I found understandable.
