Which As You Know Means Violence

Category: Writing and Poetry

Hey freaks,  I recently finished reading Which as You Know Means Violence, which is a book by Philippa Snow. It's about self-injury in art and entertainment. It's honestly great. I saw it at the MOMA and mulled over buying a copy for several months before just deciding to do it (plus, it's relevant to my own research). I thought it would be primarily about "high" art / and performance art since, y... » Continue Reading

What are you all reading now?

Category: Life

Currently I'm reading Crime and Punishment and Which as You Know Means Violence. I'm really enjoying both. I love how much of a little weirdo Raskolnikov is. Which as You Know Means Violence is super interesting too. I didn't know anything about Johnny Knoxville until now. What are you reading? » Continue Reading

Cutting open AI

Category: Art and Photography

Have you ever spent time appreciating diagrams? I LOVE diagrams, I love charts, I love scientific drawings. I draw heavily on the aesthetics of science and occupation in my own art.  » Continue Reading

The Need to be Critical- From "What is Green Anarchy?"

Category: News and Politics

" As the march towards global annihilation continues, as society becomes more unhealthy, as we lose more control over our own lives, and as we fail to create significant resistance to the death-culture, it is vital for us to be extremely critical of past “revolutionary” movements, current struggles, » Continue Reading

Introduction to Environmental Justice

Category: News and Politics

Hey Guys, I wrote this short, simple essay for a class I'm in recently. It's just a brief introduction to some of the conversations happening within environmental justice right now, and I thought I'd share. Some may see it as interesting, and I'd love to hear where you all disagree with me. » Continue Reading

A critique of Anarcho-primitivism

Category: News and Politics

I want to preface by saying that I critique this ideology not to dismiss it out of hand or be a hater, but because there are aspects of it that I simply don't understand. I would love to have a conversation about this with someone, maybe they can convince me, maybe they can't. Either way I want to add to the discourse and learn through dialogue.  To begin is a critique of the phrase. While this is... » Continue Reading

here's how politicians talk about addiction

Category: News and Politics

Politicians seem to constantly blame Mexican cartels moving across the southern border as the cause of the addiction crisis, and say that we must strengthen the border in order to prevent our fellow American citizens from dying. This narrative misses so much its almost impossible to list it all out. First of all, people have a right to use substances as they see fit. Yes, all substances. Substance... » Continue Reading

My thoughts on DNI lists

Category: Web, HTML, Tech

90% of the time DNI lists are the most useless, performative things. Like you see all these DNIs that just say "racists, homophobes, pedos" and it's like... Will any of these people actually see that dni and turn around and avoid you? Likely not. Either people who are these things don't identify this way and will think it doesn't apply to them and therefore will interact anyway, or they're trolls ... » Continue Reading

The Men Who Built Industrial America

Category: News and Politics

I wanted to share something I recently found in my research. Sometimes I hear people excuse the atrocities committed by men like Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, The Vanderbilts, etc. because even though they did all that bad stuff, they also did so much philanthropy, and isn't that great? :D  Well I wanted to share something I found that demonstrates why we should NOT excuse their actions. Thes... » Continue Reading

TV recs?

Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities

Anyone able to recommend some good detective shows? I prefer serialized, as anthologies like Columbo don't really hold my attention. I'm also looking more for something with a PI rather than a cop show, but throw out ideas and I'll work with what you give me.  » Continue Reading

Some simple thoughts on art and politics

Category: News and Politics

Sometimes I hear people decry "keep politics out of art!" and I have to scoff because it shows how little they think. Art has been used as a political tool since ancient Egypt at least, if not longer. Art has been a political tool for almost as long as civilization has existed. The thing is, we have the luxury of looking into the past with rose-tinted glasses. We can look at a realism painting, or... » Continue Reading

My "type"

Category: Life

So for those of you who don't know (which is all of you) I have an on-and-off obsession with typology. It comes from my larger interest in categories. Now I know it's really no better than superstition, but I think it's fun anyway :3 and I'm definitely not above superstition. So anyway... Here's my types! ENFP 7w6 so/?  My big five are: Openness (94%), Agreeableness (71%), Neuroticism (63%), Consc... » Continue Reading
