i want art to feel EARNEST. this disgusting, near pornographic level of tongue in cheek meta humor is making me sick to my stomach. i don’t know how many more movies i can take about clever subversions and the movie winking at you to say “we know it’s a little silly, but…” where is the whimsy? why can’t we believe in the pretend you’ve created? why don’t you have enough faith in it? in my ability to believe?

good morning everyone!!! Guess what day it is

Today is a Jewish holiday! 

i think the answer to more diverse art and media is not to keep going to fancy schools and forcing our way into these fields i think we just need to steal art supplies and tech and squat in buildings and show our own movies and pieces and concerts and everyone pays what they can and no one is turned down for being broke or bad and we just ignore every honor or award show ever

before he became wildly famous and rich basquiat painted on doors and window panes he found in alleyways nothing is stopping us from doing that and just ignoring galleries forever

u hate ticketmaster? start making friends with freaks who build their own mics and stereos and sound systems and play literally anywhere that isnt a normal venue

hate how most of my problems are abstract or systematic i wanna fight more of them with a sword

On the morning of the knife fight I was scheduled to lose, I washed myself in the ritual soap and dressed in soft, loose fitting clothes as was the custom. I would not break my fast until after the deed was done.

My second ferried me to the entry point at the North, where I declared my secret name to the gatekeeper and several acolytes in quick succession. They prepared me for the inner sanctum, infusing my veins with salt water and drawing intricate sigils on my chest. I bid farewell to my second, who would keep vigil outside. I remember very little after this, but when I awoke, I felt a great weight had been lifted from my chest.

Anyway, the top surgery yesterday went great!

Charles Darwin once called a bombardier beetle a "little inconsiderate beast" after it shot hot acid down his throat. The reason the beetle managed to do that was bc Darwin tried "gently" holding it in between his teeth, because he was searching for beetles and found some rare beetle that he could not let escape, and since he already had a beetle in each hand he needed to free up one of his hands to get the third beetle.

as you do

ive decided i glow in the dark now

bioluminescence is a choice

her name is Elevators

i wish there were more hours in a day so i could have more time to do nothing

Attention Marxists

i hate that trope of "you scientists might now all that scientific data about flowers or whatever but you don't appreciate its beauty" like i guarantee not only they do, not only in the common way but also in studying it which is not some cold emotionless endeavour and learning that stuff can be an appreciation of its beauty!!! but also they will find beauty in things you probably think are gross like worms and slime mold and stuff

I will never forget the day I saw my professor fall to her knees, a rapturous expression on her face. "Oh, it's so beautiful." she breathed, and I leaned closer to look at what she had found and

It was rust fungus.

It was a tiny brown spot of rust fungus on a piece of grass.

It's like a weird side effect of anti intellectualism. Like if you understand something you cannot possibly appreciate it, not the way we ignorant do. In fact, it's possibly the opposite. Knowing every detail, every step, every act borne of billions or years of evolution and sheer luck, must make The Thing so much more majestic.

oh hey it's my post. I'm still right about this and I'm still glad nobody pointed out i misspelled "know"

maybe i'm just a grumpy english major but i feel like a lot of the "lol people think shakespeare is pretentious but actually his plays are just dick jokes and swordfighting" posting can verge into "lol what if the curtains are just blue" territory. yes shakespeare plays are full of those things AND they are also profound and complex and thematically rich. people spend their careers analyzing them for a reason, actually. it's not just dick jokes all the way down. and sometimes people spend their careers analyzing the dick jokes. stop trying to pick one side of the dichotomy between high and low culture. it's both. it can be both.

What do you mean killing isn't an act of devotion

they call it committing murder because it's a commitment. it's a more serious commitment than marriage

I hate when you love a character who’s like a kid or a teenager and they so perfectly capture the flaws and struggles of being that age and not understanding everything fully yet or necessarily making the best choices especially when they’re in a very painful or complex situation and they feel so real and human because of it and then you go online and there’s someone who’s like “they’re DUMB and EVIL and SELFISH because of [important moment in their character arc when they messed up and learned from it or broke under pressure or didn’t have the courage to do an incredibly difficult thing or responded realistically to their truly horrifying circumstances]”

actually this one is better

i think queer people should be more confusing actually. i think we should make everyone as confused as possible until they give up and realize that total understanding of other people isnt the gateway to respect and compassion

ive worn heart shaped glasses for almost 4 years and they are just like my Thing and i love them so much and so often people will say shit like Oh Id Love To Wear Something Like That But I Could Never Pull It Off and like... babe no one can theyre heart shaped glasses u dont wear them to look flattering or stylish or whatever u wear them to make ur soul happy

stop worrying about whether u look Nice and start worrying about whether u look like You

i didnt articulate it well so i just wanna clarify. the point of this post was not "fuck the haters wear what you want" it was "fuck the idea that clothes and accessories exist to make you look good they should exist to make you happy"

the only people who have ever understood media are me. and my Beautiful mutuals
