[ID: A photograph of a paragraph in a book. It reads, "My publisher and I fought bitterly over the stomachache scene in 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar.' The caterpillar, you'll recall, feasts on cake, ice cream, salami, pie, cheese, sausage, and so on. After this banquet I intended for him to proceed immediately to his metamorphosis, but my publisher insisted that he suffer and episode of nausea first - that some punishment follow his supposed overeating. This disgusted me. It ran entirely contrary to the message of the book. The caterpillar is, after all, very hungry, as sometimes we all are. He has recognized an immense appetite within him and has indulged in it, and the experience transforms him, betters him. Including the punitive stomachache ruined the effect. It compromised the book." /End ID]

Shinjuku Boys (1995). Tatsu, a transgender man, jokes with his barber about his changing appearance, and his newly masculine features.

TRANSCRIPT:

BARBER: So you go regularly to the hospital for your hormone injection? TATSU: [nods] BARBER: Does it hurt? TATSU: Not at all. BARBER: You have more facial hair. It must be the hormones. You’ll get a moustache soon. TATSU: I’ll look distinguished! They’ve made quite the difference. I never thought I’d change so much. Most customers say I’m like a man. BARBER: Really? TATSU: [laughing] They say, “You look like a man. You’re not cute.” BARBER: [laughs]

END TRANSCRIPT.

"Virgil designed the dress for me. I told him I wanted to show love to Kurt w a floral print sundress and this man made a masterpiece. Thank You @virgilabloh ur a fuckin genius!! Love you man we did it!!!" Kid Cudi tweeted.

Kid Cudi's performance on Saturday fell on the same week as the anniversary of Cobain's death at age 27. Cobain, Nirvana singer's and songwriter, died by suicide on April 5, 1994.

The dress resembled one Cobain wore when he appeared on the cover of "The Face" magazine in 1993, according to People.

i hate when career artists convince themselves that their creative output is inherently worth more than the idle doodles a school-aged child might make in the margins of their notebooks

0x1-deactivated20220826

im thinking about the artists who use this kind of mentality to justify selling NFTs. like they really think their work is more important than everyone else's because it gets institutional recognition as Art/they went to school/whatever even though i know for a fact that there are complete outsiders with no education or institutionally validated art background who are consistently producing things that are at least as interesting & don't demand the same level of coddling that Artists do. i hate this artificial divide we've created between art & everything else, like you have every day self expression & you have Art and these things are kept separate for reasons that honestly seem totally arbitrary to me. all im really saying is that everyone deserves the time & freedom to express themselves creatively, not just a privileged class

tangentially related, you should read about hating art:

Hatred of art, in the best and truest sense, has always really been disappointment that art can’t keep its own promises. The German philosopher Theodor Adorno once said: “The bourgeois want art voluptuous and life ascetic; the reverse would be better.” Hatred of art isn’t hatred of beauty. In fact it’s closer to the opposite. It’s hatred of capitalism for trying to make us accept the fact that we can only find beauty in art. Or in some other commodity, or some commodified experience. (On Instagram everyone lives in paradise.) Of course it’s also hatred of the people who buy and sell and talk about art, because they’re mostly rich assholes. Nothing mysterious about that. For academics, though, it’s a lot easier to come up with elaborate theories about iconoclasm than it is to admit that iconoclasm is usually quite easy to explain.

“There is no such thing as a public dialog and hence art does not contribute to it. There is rather an antagonism between those who would like to continue pretending that such a dialog exists and those who want to demolish that pretense – not in theory, but in practice. (Leonard Cohen understood this, or at least he came up with a good phrase: “There is a war between the ones who say there is a war / And the ones who say there isn’t.”) The antagonism cuts across race, class, and gender, although it’s certainly weighted. Those who have nothing to lose but their chains, or their abjection, or their social death, obviously have greater clarity about it. But it might be that the edge of the antagonism runs not so much between those who are comfortable in their fiction versus those who have no such luxury, but rather between those who might, in however precarious a way, benefit exactly from the boundary’s mediation, and those who have no interest in anything of the sort: between those who might profit from abjection, exactly by claiming to represent it, and those from whom this profit is made.”
