blues cheese

a thin, vampire-looking man with an eyepatch and cloak. a second sketch depicts him undressed to a loincloth, showing off a myriad of knifewound scars across his body. and pierced nipples

reintroducing sidus with a new hair color and a cloak. now he feels like he belongs in karken's crew. it's all about team coherence. he is still Not A Vampire, because vampires aren't real, but he's okay if you think he's a vampire. it's okay if you find him frightening. he'd like you to.

The text space is not large enough to reproduce the whole snapshotted page, but this is the relevant concluding half of the final paragraph: "From an abstract point of view there is no difference between the ways in which people shows rely on the inventiveness of their audiences and the Web site reliance on users’ input. People shows rely on the activity (even amidst the most shocking sleaze) of their audience and willing participants to a much larger extent than any other television programs. In a sense, they manage the impossible, creating monetary value out of the most reluctant members of the postmodern cultural economy: those who do not produce marketable style, who are not qualified enough to enter the fast world of the knowledge economy, are converted into monetary value through their capacity to perform their misery."

Too long for the whole page; final paragraph: "The qualitative difference between people’s shows and a successful Web site, then, does not lie in the latter’s democratic tendency as opposed to the former’s exploitative nature. It lies in the operation, within people’s shows, of moral discursive mechanisms of territorialization, the application of a morality that the “excessive” abundance of material on the Internet renders redundant and even more irrelevant. The digital economy cares only tangentially about morality. What it really cares about is an abundance of production, an immediate interface with cultural and technical labor whose result is a diffuse, nondialectical contradiction."

it's sooooo funny how much social media has bridged this gap, allowing people to perform AND monetize their own (and others') misery along with the spontaneous social performance of cacophonous moralism (from Tiziana Terranova's "Free Labor: Producing Culture for the Digital Economy" 2000)

the comedian Brendan Lee Mulligan pointed out people generally dont change their behavior because of ideology, rather they seek out an ideology that allows their behavior. Before people were fascists they were assholes

TOS and decency should have barred them but RW politics got special treatment.

Peep this really fuckin' good interview @jamieloftus.bsky.social had with Weebl himself!

Woaw

I get sick of being told “well, we have to take their concerns seriously.”

No we don’t! Their concerns are completely made up! We shouldn’t even gesture at maybe taking them seriously, especially when what they want is to take rights away from someone!

Now for the harder question. Would you help... HIM?

I did a zine workshop last month where I also emphasized this as much as possible, someone came up to me to thank me after, saying having 'permission' for it to be messy meant that could get over wanting everything to be perfect, first time in years they were able to finish a creative project

Me: 😭

Stop debating this website's growth potential. I don't care. I'm a digital hermit crab. If it dies, I'll find another shell as I've done a dozen times before.

(old) relevant summer haurchefant drawing

A stylized chibi drawing of Robin, the artist's miqo'te oc, on a black background with bright pink and blue grid lines behind him. He is sitting on his big fluffy tail, sinking into it like a beanbag, his legs crossed as he lounges back and looks at the viewer with a fangy smile. He is making the "heart" shape with his thumb and index finger, his little claws visible. He is dressed in bright pink, blue, and black Solution 9/Vanguard attire.
