What’s the point of grinding to the bone your whole life for money if you aren’t even gonna be there to spend it…
"The less you eat, drink and buy books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorise, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you save – the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor rust will devour – your capital. The less you are, the less you express your own life, the more you have, i.e., the greater is your alienated life, the greater is the store of your estranged being." -Karl Marx, Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844
“The thing about money is, we can always make more, so let’s go out to eat tonight!” —My dad, after being laid-off, working odd and probably demeaning jobs so we could have dinner.
“Ah, baby, I want to buy this for you, it’s not like I can take the money with me when I go.” —My mom, when she bought me new clothes while I was between jobs.
“There’ll always be a job out there you can work, but we’d prefer you happy instead.” —Both my parents on jobs (“I can always get ya a job ditch diggin! They’ll always need ditch diggers. Hard work, but no college necessary. I can talk to the Hall.”—My proud, union dad, enthused, three seconds later.)
“It doesn’t matter what they do with the money after you give it to them. Drugs, beer, it doesn’t matter, maybe that’s what they need? How do you know?” —My dad on giving money to the homeless.
“Nah, we’ll never make any money, my husband has morals.” —My mom’s friend, fondly reflecting on the fact her lawyer husband isn’t working for a big money firm.
“Don’t worry! I’ve got this!” My equally poor friend buying me dinner when my debt card declined.
“I know we didn’t have furniture in the living room when you were growing up, but—ha!—remember Balloon Ball?” —My dad reflecting on the made up, mock-volleyball game we’d play in the open living room, using balloons. He had used electrical tape to make the court.
“I’m sorry we could never take you anywhere greater growing up,” —My mom, reflecting on our “stay-cations.” (“Why?” I asked, reflecting on all our trips to the park, zoo, public swimming pools, libraries, free theater, two dollar movie days, and her and my dad right there with me and my brothers.)
Bring poor is hard and it’s not right that it happens, but I prefer it to the hustle because at the very least, poor taught me what love is and I won’t let a shitty job deny me that.
ok!!!
What not reading theory does to a mf
one of my single greatest flaws as a human being is that i still think using 4chan greentext to narrate events is extremely funny

everyone thank evilmario666 for firing the rent-lowering gunshots
You mean that anti-shifter piece of shit? Everyone also curse evilmario666's name for using his jk rowling hate as an excuse to bully the reality shifting community. Even if he fired the rent-lowering gunshots, that won't excuse his shitty actions, he's on my DNI for a reason
everyone thank evilmario666 again
calling explicit content spicy is so cringe i can't handle it
Do you have a different fun and playful term you prefer or do you not engage with explicit content in a fun and playful way
i hate fun and whimsy and i think we should all dig trenches in the desert all day
You can only reblog this today.
maybe esoteric tone tags are good actually. It's enriching my web experience to read this like this person appreciates OP's take so much that they're giving them a handy j about it
you’ve never even heard of the wikipedia pages i’ve been on

that Brian Eno quote about how whatever you find most repulsive about a medium (film grain, record scratches/fuzz, CDs skipping) will be the first thing you try and emulate once that medium is obsolete because it's "the sign of a moment too powerful for the medium assigned to contain it".... man.......

“Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.” -Brian Eno
I hate ahegao face and the expression’s obviously furry makes when they are actin outside their suits. Makes me want to kill
not entirely convinced that's what Brian was referring to here but speak your truth
the thing about having hope is that it is so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so difficult. but you have to do it anyway
For now I am offering prints of a selection of 12 different pieces of mine, but I may expand the range to include more pieces (new and old) depending on people’s interest
