yeah and this is straycatj, the popular tumblr cat. see that's landlady, she adopted him a few years ago when he kept coming to her house for food. sometimes he runs through paper doors so landlady gives him the "funny face penalty" as you can see in this photo

Stop it! Stop it!! I'm embarrassed! Where is my dignity!? Lowyer! Is there any lowyer!?

Watching YouTube videos intended for cats. Veins bulging grotesquely in ruddying face. A yellow-breasted warbler alights in frame and begins gathering seeds. I stand up from the couch in an explosive movement, trembling with rage; I unleash a torrent of invective and verbal threats toward the screen. The bird takes flight and disappears. I fall silent and sink back into the couch, panting heavily.

drinking a can of soda is better than not drinking anything at all. “junk” food is better than no food at all. just rinsing your mouth out with mouthwash is better than no oral hygiene at all. changing into a different set of pyjamas is better than not changing at all. getting up just to sit down on the chair across the room for a bit is better than not getting up at all. changing just your pillowcase is better than not changing your bedding at all. cracking a window open is better than getting no fresh air at all.

if you don’t have enough spoons for full tasks, smaller adaptations are better than nothing at all. it’s okay if you don’t have the energy to actively fight today. just staying afloat is enough. you are enough.

i miss when you could make political art without placing personal identity (and the self) at the center of everything

this piece (“artist bio” by anna daliza) sort of perfectly sums it up. the emphasis on identity politics and tokenization in art/music/performance spaces feels reductive and exploitative- like it offers a sort of racial tourism for the wealthy white patrons. none of what im saying are original thoughts btw go see White by james ijames
