"but art is for everyone" do it then. i dare you. pick up a pencil and start drawing. pick up an instrument and play. but you won't because you're a coward with a superiority complex. you want to be the greatest artist of all time without putting in any hours. that's entitlement, not passion.

everyone's like "AI makes better music than me now... AI is a better writer than me now... i guess i wasn't meant to be an artist 😞" and dude, what ?? you are surrendering to the most non-lethal, unoriginal, milquetoast "opponent" of all time. if you are impressed by AI art, maybe art isn't for you.

i literally don't understand how people can listen to an AI cover of Olivia Dean and be like "well, that does it. The robots have taken over. I'm hanging up my beret." go to a concert and have an experience that changes your life fundamentally.

I have a system to tackle both AI and my own dehydration. Since ChatGPT uses a gallon of water per query, you should direct your queries to me instead. I will then drink a glass of water and do my best to answer.

Congratulations, WaPo, you did it, you published the worst take

Woman goes to the library. Says she needs a meeting room. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Library worker says, 'Is it just you?' Woman bursts into tears. 'Well, Katie, yes and no.’

Getting all my mortality related existential crises out of my way in my 20s so I can earnestly suck and fuck through my 40s without it seeming sad

The approximate cause of death for Anne Frank was the Nazis. The specific cause of death was the outbreak of Typhus at Bergen-Belsen camp, which overtook her (and others) from chronic malnutrition and medical abuse. These conditions are not, in character, unlike our system of immigration camps today

if you think the greatest threat to effeminate gay boys is the trans movement and not the cis straight men who overwhelmingly exclude and brutalize them then you should walk into the ocean immediately

Last night Anna’s archive went down (it’s still mirrored) but due to that my books are no longer available for free. So I put them all up on Patreon for free. Go get em www.patreon.com/arsenicdealer

And if you see a Nazi being beat up, just know god would NOT want you to help. TF. Beat these fuckin people up.

Good timezone, my darlings. ❤️❤️ Be sure to treat yourselves kindly, sip something often, and take your meds on time. 🌿 Be radically kind to your neighbors and friends. It is not an easy time in the world. I love y'all. 🦌🌿

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Every trans person in America is more courageous than its soldiers. Every person of colour who is forced to navigate life in a country that treats them with open hostility is more courageous. Everyone in Minneapolis and beyond, refusing to allow armed goons to destroy their communities, is braver.

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.” James Baldwin

Nope. We don't have to do this. The courageous act would be to refuse. Jingoist slop like this is an enormous factor in why the US has been terrorizing the world for decades. There are no heroes bombing Iran.

People overseas love their kids just as much as you love yours. Your kids aren’t more special just because they were born on US soil

no war no borders no cops no prisons no to all of this shit

Take a look at our latest #Vault217 post where we highlight a strange prop from an even stranger production of Gilbert & Sullivan's Princess Ida: the corgi skateboard. vault217.gmu.edu?p=11798

I’m transgender, I live in Kansas, if you want to help rn donate to either the ACLU of Kansas or the ACE foundation in Wichita - the ACE foundation especially is the organization that will help people with money for groceries, rent, etc. More orgs also included in attached img acefoundationict.org

Trans people want to have sex and make art and talk about sports and do all the shit everyone likes, and instead we have to think about Nazi freaks all day. This sucks eggs.

On this list from 2023, they include Our Spot KC and The Center of Wichita

call me a bleeding heart but i do not think the state should have the power to invalidate trans people’s identities and effectively imprison them. if you can’t legally drive in KANSAS how the hell are you meant to get anywhere

This thread is now dedicated to organizing aid for trans refugees If you need help or have help to offer, please @ me Instructions and updates to follow in below 🧵 www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

on that day we would all bear witness to the might of France's nuclear arsenal

it’s snowing AGAIN 😩 while walking the dog i looked to the sky and said ‘can you give us a fucking break’ to god like tevye

Yes, Neilly wrote, angrily.

“…I don’t know what Fennell wants from me. I had fun watching this movie without enjoying it, which seems too meager an experience to have been her goal as a filmmaker.” 💯

get weirder 🫵

Taught a class on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion today, and every one of my students said they've seen content on TikTok that comes directly from it, without knowing before today what the source was.

(eminem rapping fiercely and aggressively) i frew up on my sweater because im scawed 😢

Listen to this 13 year old who went to her city's council meeting. She had some things she needed to get off her chest

God I wanna hook your point about how relevant to contemporary times making Heathcliff not white would have been to my veins like what annoys me about this is Wuthering Heights could have been so resonant for this current time and Fennell goes out of her way to just. Not want to do that

you have to read to write. a lot. Like you have to read way more than you write for your writing to be worth anything. there are zero exceptions to this

i fear abi cooked with this one

he’s so close to getting it

Guy went from war criminal to awful painter. Running the reverse Hitler

Easy automatic block for me for anyone who says Tucker Carlson has a point about Israel. Israel has made itself a genocidal state. I don’t need a babbling fascist to know that especially when he speaks in the service not of antizionism but Holocaust-justifying antisemitism.

Finished James Baldwin's "Go Tell It On The Mountain", started Virginia Woolf's "To The Lighthouse"

"tapering plans" for HRT is a death sentence if you've had gender-affirming surgeries, like I have with my orchi, because your body will just wither away and die without hormones. Unspeakable evil. Demonic shit. You don't hate these motherfuckers enough.

first they came for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and I said nothing, but i did laugh quite a lot

no words for how angry “god has chosen this” makes me. bitch, you chose this. you chose to kill your son. congrats

He's literally a VICTIM of a HUMAN TRAFFICKER and yet The Left will burn him like a Witch because They believe in Guilt by Association

my favorite Robert Duvall role is where he appears as a priest on a swing for 2 seconds for no apparent reason in Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
