Erosion by Tamsin van Essen. Who knew parasitic invasion could be so beautiful?

van Essen on her project:

This work explores erosion and the disruption of form. Focusing on biological erosion, I wanted to convey the idea of a host being attacked and eaten away by a parasitic virus, highlighting the creeping spread of the infection as it corrupts the body. I have produced a series of angular porcelain forms, sandblasted to wear the surface and reveal inner strata. This aggressive process, contrarily, creates a delicate vulnerability in the shape. The translucency of the porcelain and the interruption of the surface make it possible to glimpse through to layers beneath, creating a tension between the seen and the obscured.

it turns out that actually you never needed to be understood! what you really needed was to make the rest of the world just as incomprehensible as you are!

its interesting being a weird autistic tranny as a kid and letting yourself get accustomed to the idea that youre just some magically antisocial loser who is "introverted" and is happy being alone and then you grow up and realize that actually you love being social you love hugs you love going out and hate being alone you just hated all of the social opportunities available to you growing up so much you let yourself romanticize solitude as a slightly less miserable state than interacting with people

Concept art from the development of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (風の谷のナウシカ, Kaze no Tani no Naushika), 1984, directed by Hayao Miyazaki with art direction by Kazuo Oga. While produced before Studio Ghibli was officially founded, the film's success led to the studio's creation. The film explores themes of environmental destruction, war, and coexistence with nature set in a post-apocalyptic world overtaken by toxic forests.

the joke is that they're Black the joke is always that they're Black and you associate that with aggression and violence so any Black person says something effeminate or gay sounding and white ppl pass screenshots around laughing about the crazy contrast as if all of internet queer culture wasn't coopted from black people SHUT THE FUCK UP

idk man I'm thinking a lot about the discourse being reported in this post and my own post about crushes, which has garnered a lot of responses like this one

and I don't know exactly what to do with this yet but I'm fascinated, in a really upsetting way, by the way some of these people seem to conceptualize romantic and/or sexual attraction as an act of violation that no one should do to people they like and care about. if nothing else it raises some really compelling questions about what they think actually goes on between people who have sex and/or romantic bonds with each other if that's not supposed to be something that happens between friends.
