And in doing so they are also diluting helpful concepts into meaningless slop. But i guess that's just the internet these days, baby.
People are using this in a similar way to "no ethical consumption under capitalism." A means of analyzing a situation or text becomes an excuse to just do whatever without thinking about the impact of our choices
It means that artistic and authorial intent are not the end all be all of a piece or text. It just doesn't really have a place in these discussions. Read Harry Potter or don't and then deal with your feelings about that instead of yelling DOTA at trans people on the internet
People will be like "Death of the Author" means I can read Harry Potter and others will be like "No because the author isn't dead yet," and neither of those things is what DOTA is???
Death of the Artist has nothing to do with whether or not you buy art from someone bad? It's a tool of analysis? You gotta figure out where your own lines are when it comes to that stuff but that's not what Death of the Artist is?
Gonna ask the youth group kids today what "chopped" means
Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy
megachurch model busted. cool pastor model broken. it is time to rediscover the divine ecstasy of manifesting stigmata while preaching to woodland creatures during a 40 day fast reduces you to a flame-faced feral oneness with God.
My mom: "I just discovered this cute show. It's called One Piece."
I saw a comment the said we aren’t “angry enough.” But all we are is angry. Our veins circulate it like acid. It cracks our sternums. It poisons and paralyzes us. We hiss and spit at each other, all impotent, helpless rage.
We don’t need more anger. We need more direction.
So a fun thing I’ve been finding out this week is how much long term care facilities rely on free assistance from the church.
John Brown didn’t give up on Kansas & I’ll be damned if I ever do.
solidarity with all marginalized people in Kansas.

In Vegas we've been following the story of a sick toucan who's been seen flying around town and it looks like they found the toucan and are taking care of him!
get weirder 🫵
I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head
Liberal elite...bro makes less than me and I'm a pastor at a church of 60 people
If you want to hear me swear a lot ask me about Gannett and their role in destroying local papers and/or John and Alan Block lol
My journalist spouse literally drive a Honda civic until it basically crumbled to dust 😭 now he's got a Hyundai close to doing the same. It's funny how many times he's been accused of being "the liberal elite."
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people local newspaper reporters are rarified elites instead of ink-stained wretches driving their Honda Civic to a crime scene so you know don’t have to rely on Nextdoor and the police press release.
driving in the rain, at night, with astigmatism, in LAS VEGAS 🤩
Admittedly it is one of those "two nickles" situations where it's weird that there's two songs about being in love with a cheeseburger
My mom has gotten the songs "Cheeseburger in Paradise" and "His Cheeseburger" confused and is trying to convince me that Jimmy Buffet was a writer on Veggie Tales
Coney dogs are actually from Michigan. Also the square pizza with the caramelized cheese on the edge is Detroit style and is the best pizza
"Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work."
No, that's not Karl Marx, thats the Sermon on the Mount
Read this in high school but missed the note that said everyone was supposed to be reading a specific abridged version. I had the full version and was getting a VERY different story
Vegas baby!
do not go piggly into that good wiggly
