Gospel of Garbage

Toxic positivity, be damned, Herman Hesse reminds us that true optimism is not the denial of suffering. It is the will to perceive beauty amidst the suffering, and to conceive compassion despite suffering: “because the world is so full of death and horror I try again and again to console my heart and pick the flowers that grow in the midst of hell“

All fkn day baby

This moment killed me

@thegingerbatch.bsky.social a week ago: "I'll try Cyberpunk again I guess. Idk if I'll like it tho."
Today:

I'm gonna be honest most of my fandom interaction lately is me and @thegingerbatch.bsky.social being dumb bitches who just say 'exacctttlllllyyyy' endlessly in a circle

How I've survived this personally is including like 4 people in a fandom who i know won't wreck it and utterly disregarding all other discourse as apocryphal nonsense lol

This is also my boomer dad who is like "just wait. Don't overreact, don't make yourself anxious" meanwhile my mom in the other room is furiously and loudly calling tr*** a "orange cunt felon shittstain fuckhead" in a Teams meeting with 25 people.

(me watching burglars break all the windows and climb into my house)

Continued work in progress on this one but nearly completed. 24x30” acrylic on canvas.

What flavour of body dysmorphia did y'all get. I got the one where the person I see in the mirror and person I see in photographs don't look even remotely the same.

Like how am I supposed to live my 'best life' when reality is a constant pivot between infuriated dismay and exhausted anxious dismay

And u know what they fkn slapped no word of a lie

Altho I am definitely a Johnny the Godling fan lol

Goddamn trail of fkn treats

HI ALL WHO ARE ALIVE AND DEAD OR OTHERWISE IN BETWEEN I GREET YOU WARMLY

Roland Barthes was right and we should say it more often.
