I want both. I want neither. Generally speaking.

My latest essay "Please Stop Fucking Each Other: edgelord burnout and latent monasticism in incel-adjacent art" is taking the world by storm.

We'll see if it stands Detest of Time.

I've drawn a handful of good pictures.

Feigning interest in someone sharing their tourism photos and stories. Uniquely tedious process. Oh, that's where Van Gogh used to drink wine? And you drank wine right there as well? That's crazy. If this keeps going, I'll grab a gun and do a little Vincent reenactment myself.

Good thing about lack of common ground is that it's also common ground.

Telling the plastic surgeon to make my face look like bismuth crystals. Telling the plastic surgeon to give me the Escher treatment.

That part in Blame! where he gets incapacitated and has to regenerate for 14 years. That happened to me in real life.

This is my friend Canetti Point.

Oscillating between utter fascination and utter revulsion at inhuman speed. How can we harness this power?

One good interpretive viewpoint to read my work from is "aversion to faces".

I could use a rarebodyoils post.

"Reminds me of thing I know" is actually the only way to engage with art, or anything for that matter. This complaint was about lack of packaging. Simply naming the thing it reminds you of is boring. Why does it remind you? Draw some inferences. Put some ornaments on there. Post still makes sense.

This is my friend Grant Total.

Every day is a good day for fans of specificity.

When clothes are too comfortable, you feel like a slob. Good occasionally, but eventually detrimental to wellbeing. When clothes are too uncomfortable, you feel imprisoned. Never good. The search for clothing comfort equilibrium continues.

Have to maintain strong base distortion. Some internet archeologist in the distant future might parade your corpse around one day. Don't want them to think they have an accurate or believable picture.

Wake up, new novelty just dropped.

This is my friend Dwell on the Carceral.

Last night I covered my vale of tears diorama with my veil of tears and this morning all my miniature sufferers had drowned.

Of course krumm is just a pseudonym. My actual name is Untitled.

You ask me my name and I answer "????", pronounced in a way that immediately makes sense to you and could never mean anything else.

Without my knowing, I seem to have acquired Personality™ somewhere along the way.

Got coffee at kiosk and Average Joe (middle-aged) wanted his nostalgia confirmed and I didn't want to do that so I had to wrestle ailing reality with him for a bit. Not my specialty. I don't know much, but he knew even less. Overall, pretty nice guy. Bit rigid from my point of view. I wish him well.

I strongly suspect I would benefit from ADHD meds.

In order to get access to the things you need to build the structure, you need to have already built the structure, which you can't do, because you lack the things you need to build it. Your only option is to perform a miracle.

I'm so temporally myopic. Everything is just cascading finalities. It's a miracle I can act at all.

Need to become strict taskmaster again, at least more than I am right now. My semiotic stream intake has been too high and too erratic for too long. Left the faucet running. Educational, but not sustainable. I need a fluidly rigid routine instead of a rigidly fluid one.

Katamari Damacy is a popular horror game often lauded for its realism.

The wheel of history is actually more of a katamari.

The bsky experience.

I'm not interested in beauty as such. Beauty is abundant. It's everywhere and it's part of this intensity that has been sickening me my whole life. You can find beauty in the most heinous shit, which is why I don't accept it as this universal good. What I'm interested in is cutting it open.

I suspect that reformation day costumes will be 80% Luther again. I know you guys like the tonsure, but pick another protestant reformer for once. I don't know, Zwingli or Calvin or something. Müntzer maybe, if you're feeling revolutionary.

The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is an annual sporting competition in which athletes attempt to clear increasingly higher obstacles with their ejaculate.
