Article I wrote on @taishani.bsky.social and The Evil Dead 2 is now up it seems. intellectdiscover.com/content/jour...

Do people even talk about Palestine on this app?

Funny thing in the artworld, you can go from being inseparable best friends, to not even saying hello, without a fallout or a reason, just vibes

I have been in east London for literally yrs

Ok gonna post on here like it’s 2013

Apart from extreme violent situations ofc, the biggest difference between youth and aging is familiarity and proximity to death - your world that emerges, and your world that is vanishing

It’s so bleakly evil - they are so, so evil - bringing back starvation after iftar. They couldn’t stand seeing them having a moment of collective joy. I don’t understand what kind of debates are being had. Gaza is a holocaust. I can’t describe my shame in words

One GREAT thing about Bluesky; it definitely isn’t addictive

I love the way the fascist right will unironically say “the problem is that the more educated parts of society veer to the left”. Hmmm, yes it’s funny that, I wonder why that is?

The ramping up of the manufacturing of consent in the last few days with regards to the next phase of the genocide in Gaza has been bone chilling

They said that ethnic cleansing is not the goal, and now it has been clearly stated that ethnic cleansing is the goal, they are saying that ethnic cleansing is something else - see Palestinians as humans and you will see it is genocide, it is ethnic cleansing and it is apartheid

I went to see Mike Kelley show yesterday and honestly I might as well give up! What are jobs that one doesn’t mind being mediocre in?

Downloaded deepseek and cancelled my ChatGPT subscription 👌🏼 am also on Xiaohongshu ♥️ I hate this tech/fash alliance so much

I really don’t blame ppl who couldn’t bring themselves to vote dems, but I never thought “Trump will be better for Palestinians” was even a remote possibility.

Honestly we really need a proper left party to emerge, if not we are doomed

My mum passed away 8 days ago, it was a long journey to the edge of the water and has made me think deeply about so much, the spiritual poverty of our age. Personal death in the time of genocide, dignity, care, rights, so much - does anyone want to commission a sad + depressing piece from me?

Feel like I’m in the underworld, my mum’s death is slow and extremely harrowing, I feel like I’ll either come out extremely powerful or will be forever broken

In Lisbon with my dying mum - it’s obviously the most intense experience of my life, I feel like everyone in the house is effervescent and evaporating into the aether. Anyone who has done the palliative journey, let me know how it was for you? It’s incomprehensibly volatile and strange and intense

So much pathetic discourse around art having to be political. Wrong question. A: assumes that some things in our lives are uncontaminated by the network of power and politics that govern our lives and B: that artists aren’t citizens that also are part of a social contract???

Hi I need a new desktop Mac for the studio - it’s for light editing and big images, not feature length edits but it needs to be able to handle some 4K edits - can someone recommend the cheapest and best configuration, like which Mac mini, which display or maybe iMac is better?

I wonder if the “art world for is ra el” whatsapp group is going to make the ArrReview power 100 this year

Some artists really do be making extremely snoozy boring work

hi for new followers this is victor

@victormjakeman.bsky.social welcome to the Bluesky community bro

I really hope this website works out but I’m keeping it for art related spicy takes and mental breakdown

Just saw a pic of a cat using a hamburger bun as a pillow and my internal monologue said “nice work if you can get it”

I said I don't write for journals because I'm not on a uni payroll, but I am spending today editing a chapter on @taishani.bsky.social 's work, The Evil Dead, and the gaps in Irigaray's writing on art into a submission. Rare exceptions because it barely needs editing and no-one reads thesises!

Has anyone on here made a paint brush out of their cat’s hair?

UN vote today on Palestinian self-determination. Most of the world is for it.

I’m back on here. Twitter is unbearable

I’m a ghost on here so feels safe to say but I feel like I want to give up really badly at the moment, maybe move away from London, disappear from my current life, and get a normal job and write if I have the need to express myself again

Just saw a pic of a cat using a hamburger bun as a pillow and my internal monologue said “nice work if you can get it”

It’s interesting how fashion has made the transition to TikTok but art is genuinely 100% tumbleweed on there (I mean “artworld”) I wonder why that is?

God ICQ was my first taste of internet

Does anyone have an invite for my lover, family, and comrade Rod?

With my v poorly mum in Lisbon. She still enjoys eating so made her this yesterday and today!

But Patti Harrison is incredible and fucking funny

Just rewatched annihilation, it is beautiful and dumb

Has anyone on here made a paint brush out of their cat’s hair?

Good painters are either “talented” or patient and also some are both of course, I’m neither, it’s a struggle!

A fresh new start at being a very lower mid poster :)
