abstract and modern art haters are sooo snobby like klein literally Created an entirely new pigment and then painted a canvas in a way where the brush strokes wouldn’t be visible. the insinuation that people with no skill could reproduce that is so annoying because unless you are skilled at color mixing and painting you definitely couldn’t lmao
i hope it’s okay to add this because i think it hits the nail directly on the head
Honestly, it’s like picking up a book and saying “I know all these words, I can type, I could have written this” like there’s no middle step between the technical ability and the finished work.
The idea of “western civilisation” as some sort of a homogenous monolith is definitely just a white supremacist dogwhistle, but the way these people talk about it makes it sound downright funny. This Unified White Culture that started in Ancient Greece and practices a religion that was born in the Southern Levant when a small doomsday cult escaped containment, and then there were vikings and shit and these are all just one unified People and Culture, despite of me having more mutual DNA with a neanderthal than a spaniard. Probably more mutual culture, too.
And then this spectacular glorious monolith empire is as fragile as a victorian orphan dying of tuberculosis. Must be protected from the slightest draft from any direction, at all costs, because unlike the cultures of countless diasporic peoples, the mighty Western Civilisation willdie if it is not at least a 90% majority at all times. Every three minutes there’s something new that is the harbinger of societal collapse, the beginning of the end, some sort of a slow-motion apocalypse caused by people saying stuff and doing things, and wearing clothes you don’t like.
“Sure you’re laughing now but where will you be when the barbarians are at the gates?” I’ll be at the gates, obviously. The faggots are coming and we have a trebuchet.
“We’ll fix it in post” is a phrase from the film industry, but it is inherently funnier when it’s spoken by a writer because–tragic–you are also the post-production team.
Somebody asked me who my favorite sailor soldier was. She’s always been my fave, and now I’m wondering if me being a Scorpio with an Aries rising’s got anything to do with it.(Both signs are ruled by Mars).
“Being aro is so cool because it comes with this fun little bonus of knowing you’ll always suddenly come second to your friends once they’re in relationships and you’ll have to respect that even tho you’ll never really understand it”
And now I’m sadly reflecting on my friendships again.
