This infantilization over past years about “doomscrolling”, and “not seeping into despair” is so...

You need to feel uncomfortable.

The ignorance is bliss mentality that brown people can watch their own innocents being killed, but you got to take a mental health break every time from reading news?

See this? QRT with your ghost art 👻💀

a single pigeon is more wonderous than all the profit in the world. it's all around you, you just need to see

I really love being here on this earth. It’s so beautiful and humans are capable of such astonishing things & every culture is fascinating to me & the splendor of our natural world & the diversity of species is like an actual miracle. We must escape the Capitalocene and build something better.

My friends who live in tents or cars or have 90 roommates are like "which orgs can get aid into which countries right now? I think I have five bucks. I'm trying to learn Farsi so I can see what's going on in this news server" and the lake housers are like "timeline cleanse. What brings you joy?"

There should be an Earth for people who don't hate all living things

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

I mean and Democrat, too. Let’s not pretend the US hasn’t been wanting to do this in Iran since the 1950s.

there really is something immensely clarifying about realizing that "death cult" is not an ironic or jokey term

I guess they stopped using Israel as their proxy and are just going for it now.

half-eaten by a flying fox,
covered with small
black honey bees.

The time it takes the sun
to cross the sky
and set beyond the river.

On the trunk of a wild jack
grows yellow fungus
in the shape
of a human ear.

I’m always like ooh transgression and then it’s just about dicks

I see calls for more transgressive, boundary-pushing art in this current moment (which I agree with!), but I also have to question the point of broad calls to transgress in art without a stated critical goal of the transgression

What is the transgression supposed to say or do? You know?

I really love hanging out with actual book clubs and am happy to join if any of y’all ever read Green Fuse Burning 💚🌿 or Carnalis 🩷🥩

Who could resist a book club with such interpretive rigour as “reading the back cover”.

Excerpt from a scam email that reads: Dear Tiffany, Some novellas weave grief, identity, and the uncanny power of place into a story that lingers long after the final page, and Green Fuse Burning does that with haunting beauty. After the death of her estranged father, artist Rita struggles with grief and regret. There was so much she wanted to ask him about his childhood, their family, and the Mi'kmaq language and culture from which she feels disconnected. When her girlfriend Molly forges an artist's residency

I finally got one of those book club scam emails! Fascinating choice, parroting the book’s synopsis to me, as if I wouldn’t recognize it.

A page of black paper. At the top and upper left hand corner two outlined of mountains, in the centre a moon with a coiled snake in front. At the bottom of the page a panther.

Analog collage sketchbook page. Pulled a panther card in divination reading earlier. Considering its power. Thinking about eclipses and shedding the year of the snake.
