Strangely enough I don’t think there’s a French word that quite rhymes with 方 / song / bong / Hong Kong / Bei Fong / Wrong 🧐

Post-Scriptum: English: I get questions about my name a lot: my full name is Lily Dot Xioafang Paris. Lily for the flower, Dot for a distant Great Aunt Dorothy I've never met, Xioafang: Xiao 小 rhymes with ciao and fang 方 rhymes with song, and Paris, well, like the city. Depending on who can be trusted to pronounce it, my middle names are not always on-stage, so to speak. ; Français: Pour répondre aux questions au sujet a mon nom: mon nom est Lily Dot Xioafang Paris. Lily comme la fleur de lys, Dot après une Grande-Tante Dorothy, Xioafang (小 xiao come ciao, fang 方 comme kong dans Hong Kong) et finalememt, Paris exactement comme la capitale de la France. Et non comme « Harris » ! L'apparence de mes quatres noms varient dépendant de la probabilité que mes interlocuteurs peuvent les prononcer.

Bc everyone asks me abt my name I added this to my bio on filmfreeway lmao

Omgggg tysm for sharing! Can’t use most of my art apps on Linux T-T

A screenshot of repo web page that reads: Title: Remove Windows Ai Why? The current 25H2 build of Windows 11 and future builds will include increasingly more AI features and components. This script aims to remove ALL of these features to improve user experience, privacy and security.

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.

Sentiment of our times indeed!

The way these people are getting ratio’d 🎪

If you have to deal with conservative family this Thanksgiving, the only two things you should be saying to them is. "You have internet addiction, that's internet addiction garbage." and "Be a fucking man/adult and live and let live." That's it, nothing more. They'll leave humiliated.

It’s safe to say that most of these aren’t dogwhistles they’re just regular whistles. Barks in fact.

Alright that concludes this slightly unhinged detour into chronically-online 💿🐎 our regularly-scheduled programming of me being terrible at marketing my own art may resume.

Screenshot of Swift and back-up cast in Vegas-style backstage all performing a military salute. And yes it’s safe to say that most of not all but one extra in this scene is Of Colour…

Exhibit D: As she sings about no longer pleading allegiance to herself once she sees the light and meets her husband, heavily implying her allegiance is now to him and him only, she and her back-up dancers perform a national salute. She does this again in the penultimate scene with the gogo dancers

[another potato quality photo of my monitor] Goddess Taylor in a black wig lounging on the set of a naval ship as two people to her left crouch down to dab laughably delicate strokes of their makeup brushes on her cheeks. These two actors relegated to the margins of the bottom left corner of the screen? Black.

[photo] Taylor Swift in long blonde hair and a white dress walks across the backstage of a theatre set as she passes her candlestick to a smiling Black man to her right.

Exhibit C: These Black actors aren’t just back-up dancers they are literally seen multiple times in roles of servitude to her and the framing reinforces this by visually putting them in the literal margins!!!

[photo of my computer monitor] Right-wing goddess Taylor Swift is being kidnapped by Black pirates on her opera theatre boat as four siren mermaids, all Black, sing along.

Exhibit B: In the same exact scene the sirens in the bottom-left corner are all Black women. Sirens are evil creatures who lead men astray. And with the unsubtle digs at what’s his face’s Black ex-girlfriends in Opalite? And the opalite necklace with the eight lightning bolts????? HELLO?????

Low quality photo of my computer screen paused on the scene where Taylor Swift (as Ophelia) is being grabbed by a pirate played by a Black man in braids

I just need it to be said bc no one has pointed it out in all of the excessively detailed video essays I binged to cleanse my soul after finishing my midterms.

Taylor Swift right-wing dogwhistles in the Ophelia video exhibit A: A Black man kidnaps the White woman with a sinister smile on his face.

Art v Artist

Illustration of a hunky man being squeezed out of a toothpaste tube onto a toothbrush. Girl, I can’t explain it better.

Every once in a while I feel a little adrift—until I remember to check the extremely normal covers of My Life, My Way, a Japanese gay magazine published from 1977-1982.

Once you name them they come to life at the stroke of midnight

You know the Snoopy girlies are really starting to scare me…

Digital painting of orange-pink tropical flowers blooming in a spiral pattern. Cursive text in green says “TOWARDS TRANS JOY AND JUSTICE CONFERENCE” with I’s dotted in purple flowers.

Text reads “MIGRATION IS A RIGHT” on a white “floor” where various colourful characters most of them parents and small children walk across happily as a black and white police man peeks over a wall suspiciously

A photorealistic painting of a police officer shooting teargas canister point blank into a protester’s face. Bottom right text reads: “MONTREAL 2025 POLICE BUDGET: 824M$” *see linked IG post in reply for more info

Painting of white and purple striped petunias at an angle where they look rather conical. Pale green veins on some of the petals. Masking tape and faint pencil notes on paper.

Hmmm I could comment on the trauma of living thru the resurgence of fascism in real time where reality is completely decoupled from ruling class rhetoric and personally struggling against powerful political machinery that want to label me as disposable… OR! I could post some art 🙂

twinktober

is that something

Artist! Quote with your evil art

The character vs how you drew the character

🥰 Thank you! It’s hand-lettered. I think of it as a version of my real handwriting on its best behaviour lol

Beaudrillard would be having the time of his life if he could see us now fr

Me looking at real life: that looks like cgi ):<

Poster with olive green background and a swirl of tropical orange flowers, each one representing a different phase of the growth cycle. Text reads “TOWARDS TRANS JOY AND JUSTICE CONFERENCE” in handwritten bright green calligraphic font made to look like plants. I’s are topped with purple flowers. Subtext reads “organized by trans and non-binary students. June 8th, Tessri Dunya Theatre”

We are democratizing art. No longer will you have to pay someone who owns a data center just to generate pictures. With a pencil and notepad that costs less than a dollar, you too can create Artisanal Imagery.

🥴

Can you even glaze videos? Is glaze cross platform compatible? Is glaze like vaccines where they need to be constantly updated with boosters? How is image quality affected?? How long is it to glaze one’s whole portfolio films incl? Does glaze apply to audio? Is one glaze code better than others???

The idea of having to glaze every single thing I post is exhausting why is capitalism so insistent on offsetting its consequences as individual problems?!?! It’s like how no one wants to fix air quality and now people are forced to buy air purifiers! WE ARE IN HELL!!!

Come to think of it I don’t have any memories of ever eating a cookie by my grandmother. Ever. 😳
