Me as an art critic: this piece really explores the… Misogyny of the artist 🤔
He's worried about stepping on flowers. He loves nature. - (ref)
I think it’s weird and annoying that there’s this societal push for “let women be feminine again!!!” when there has still never been any acceptance for masculine women
Have you ever felt too shy to talk so you used your teddy to talk for you? 🧸 I would love to see your teddy friends : )

I fear a lot of people learned to take good care of library books as children and instead of internalizing "leave shared community items as you found them as much as possible, because other people will use them too" they internalized "printing and binding a book imbues it with sacred energy and if you dog-ear a mass-market paperback you're desecrating the entire concept of written language"
favorite type of word: names of genres that tell you nothing without context. literary fiction. popular music. interactive fiction. lets invent a new genre called experiencable media
additions: speculative fiction, art film, point and click, simulation game. anything that makes you say "i sure hope so"

"theyll hate you for this" "but theyll be alive" is THE juiciest thing to me
i will ensure you stay alive above all else. even if what i do to make it happen is horrendous. even if it violates all your wishes or moral principles. even if you can never look at me the same way again, even if you hate me for it. because at least if you hate me it means youre alive

"This piece of art is in the Smithsonian. They have removed the references to AIDS as Gonzalez-Torres’ inspiration and turned the dwindling pile representing the diminution and death of his lover into a candy trail.
This is unconscionable. However, it goes deeper than that.
In 2017, control of Gonzalez-Torres’ artistic estate passed to David Zwirner and Andrea Rosen Gallery. They began to immediately distance the artist’s legacy from AIDS and gayness, preferring instead to make him and the defining agony of his life about the complexity of art and its relationship to the viewer.
This is because art associated with white, straight artists is greatly preferred at the upper end of art acquisitions, where they want art whose price won’t be affected by, say, a sudden massive political swing against acceptance of queer artists by the wealthiest caste of human parasitoids, as happened last week.
So, Gonzalez-Torres’ art has grown only more powerful. Now it stands not only for his own grief, but for the exploitation, extortion, and distortion of artists by their wealthy curators, the way that capital defangs all art and crushes its meaning down to a simple and saleable product, a pokemon card for billionaires made of human tears and candy.
Sometimes there’s no way to satirize an industry that is more effective than simply describing what they eagerly choose to do.
Rest well, Felix and Ross." (End from Facebook)
One of the most moving pieces of art you will ever see has been reduced to a pile of candy.
99% of "mysterious disappearances" esp of people in their 20s who start acting weird for 48 hours and then vanish are not mysterious, thats just when a lot of reality-obliterating mental illness tends to kick in and it's pretty easy to get a short circuit in your brain that makes you go family guy death pose in joshua tree national park. it's not any less tragic, it's just a documented phenomenon and not particularly predictable. its a big reason the medical advice is for people with a family history of schizophrenia to completely avoid weed and psychedelics. "people just go crazy sometimes" is a principle of human health that used to be a lot more accepted prior to the american midcentury and to a certain extent thats a healthier way to conceptualize and prepare for the risk, as opposed to the modern assertion that anyone acting weird is dangerous and broken forever.
you should have a rough outline of a plan for if any of your loved ones experiences psychosis, it really does happen a lot. UTIs can cause psychosis. taking drugs, even safe drugs, or prescription drugs, can cause psychosis. i was once prescribed a heavy regimen of vitamin D because i was deficient, but the doctor never told me to stop taking it, so i moved to california, stopped being deficient, and developed vitamin d toxicity with downstream hyperparathyroidism which triggered significant hypomania that was undetected and uncontrolled for yeeeeeeears. i just slowly got Weird and started making impulsive decisions based on slightly out-of-gamut beliefs. i drove cross country by myself to have a love affair. the love affair was real, the series of decisions leading to burning down my life in pursuit of it were based on not great brain function however. etc. you see what i mean. churchill mentioned depression being the "black dog who stalks us" (one reason for Churchgrim's multi-referential name) but theres another, stealthier dog called Insanity and it's closer to some people than others but man it sneaks up on you. every time i see one of those "guy gets weird and drives into the wilderness forever" missing persons stories i think "yeah i could totally pull that off"
"van gogh cut off his ear what a lunatic" you are 3 nights of bad sleep, getting unexpected upsetting news and taking a substance as benign as coffee at the wrong time away from doing the same hope this helps
