art as escapism is fine but art cannot JUST be escapism, art cannot always be comforting, or make you happy, or bring you joy. sometimes art does the opposite, for a reason (or not!), and that kind of art is just as important too, if not more sometimes

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

🐊 CROCODILE LIFE! 🐊 (1/3) a short comic i drew in 2021 about an overworked & underpaid office worker's who life is 100% absolutely normal and fine. there are definitelyyyy no giant crocodiles in her house!!!

Or more clinically, "Pleasure is the sole right of the ruling class. Anyone who isn't a member of that class only gets to experience pleasure if the ruling class permits it, because it gives them pleasure or they profit from it."

"what is their obsession with trans people even about" cuz trans people are the free-est motherfuckers on earth! they don't want the rest of y'all getting any ideas about having control over your own fucking destiny!!

when bodies are treated as objects they are acceptable, however once the bodies have autonomy and find ways to express their own pleasure for themselves, it becomes unacceptable. the legality of sexuality in this country is dictated by who gets to enjoy it

no corner of capitalism cares about your safety/comfort unless you're included in its vanishingly small circle of intended beneficiaries. fragile, infantilising fascism. you could die right in front of them and not a single bluesky mod would care! they've been helping kill palestinians for 2 years!!

some music u just won't enjoy until u go through a lapse of depression so intense it nearly puts u in an early grave and THEN ur like ohhh fuck this artist is amazing

I asked all my very fake super fictional and overall not real characters and they said they super duper consent to all the weird shit that happens to them.

things I would do if you're a nsfw/kink creative *now* because I've been eerily prescient about every single wave: a) get a personal site with your own domain you own. *now*. not a carrd or third party squarespace. not next week. *now*. get it online with ugly-ass html but get your links there.

i hate streaming, i hate bluetooth, and i hate mobile-only apps

imagine if you spent years making memes of/defaming a dead Black man whose snuff film went viral across the globe. and then you ended up getting taken out. on video. while saying something racist . and that video goes viral across the globe. and your dead body becomes a meme. it's a poetic ass world
