Brie Eerie

spookycore, existentialism, euterriah. memes, art, quotes. 20-something. 🇵🇭 Figuring out what I can contribute sustainably to the world. I write (some poetry), illustrate, and have some opinions I'd like to share.

Actually you don’t have to pick an aesthetic. I think picking an aesthetic kind of kills your creativity and individualism. No one was supposed to fit inside a mood board. Don’t turn art into a performance. Your expression is supposed to be messy, and felt, and you, not for the algorithm. Your expression is meant to be whatever you love, not altered to fit in.

"Our online spaces are not ecosystems, though tech firms love that word. They're plantations; highly concentrated and controlled environments, closer kin to the industrial farming of the cattle feedlot or battery chicken farms that madden the creatures trapped within.

We all know this. We see it each time we reach for our phones. But what most people have missed is how this concentration reaches deep into the internet's infrastructure - the pipes and protocols, cables and networks, search engines and browsers. These structures determine how we build and use the internet, now and in the future.

They've concentrated into a series of near-planetary duopolies. For example, as of April 2024, Google and Apple's internet browsers have captured almost 85% of the world market share, Microsoft and Apple's two desktop operating systems over 80%. Google runs 84% of global search and Microsoft 3%. Slightly more than half of all phones come from Apple and Samsung, while over 99% of mobile operating systems run on Google or Apple software. Two cloud computing providers, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft's Azure make up over 50% of the global market. Apple and Google's email clients manage nearly 90% of global email. Google and Cloudflare serve around 50% of global domain name system requests.

Two kinds of everything may be enough to fill a fictional ark and repopulate a ruined world, but can't run an open, global "network of networks" where everyone has the same chance to innovate and compete. No wonder internet engineer Leslie Daigle termed the concentration and consolidation of the internet's technical architecture "climate change' of the Internet ecosystem.""

who cares if you don't fully "get" the weird postmodernist novel on your first read, or if the experimental arthouse film is opaque to you on your first viewing? you are not being graded. you are not being scored. there is value in the attempt. every time i've read House of Leaves or watched Blue Velvet, I've gotten something new from it. the idea that you might not "get" something and therefore shouldn't bother with it is so silly to me

I sometimes like inserting corporate-sounding jargon into intimate conversations, example:

"Why are you and your mom going out tomorrow?"

"Oh, I just wanted to touch base with her. It's been long since I've done that."

Hypothetical one:

Him: *when I didn't respond the entire evening after our trip* I had a dream with you in it that made me worry in particular. You're fine, right?

Me: Hello, this is an automated message from [insert user's name] bot. You not holding her hand yesterday during the bus ride home made her sad. She'll get back to you in 3-5 business days after she's processed her feelings. Thank you.

素肌美人 by Kazuo Kamimura

[yourlocalnautilus]

the fact that generative A.I. has created a completely new fundamental doubt in reality (checking to see if an artwork we see is manmade or not) and doubt in the instinct of enjoying art is unforgivable. its sickeningly tragic, and i mean it. NOTHING is worth this price and i hope that everyone will one day realize this.

“There are a few things in life so beautiful they hurt: swimming in the ocean while it rains, reading alone in empty libraries, the sea of stars that appear when you’re miles away from the neon lights of the city, bars after 2am, walking in the wilderness, all the phases of the moon, the things we do not know about the universe, and you.”

— Beau Taplin, “And You”

[resqectable]

“But who can say what’s best? That’s why you need to grab whatever chance you have of happiness where you find it, and not worry about other people too much. My experience tells me that we get no more than two or three such chances in a life time, and if we let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives.”

— Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

The green bleeds from my eyes

Down my sodden

Golden cheeks

The ichor stains my lips

Where we once did kiss

So soft and sweet

Life is but a dream

Bit still worth living

With all the parts arranged

Only for the giving

(little note, only for me: you know there are poems you understand, but others, like this, are poems you *FEEL* even if you don't necessarily understand them? But that's the whole point of poetry, though)
