Mahmoud Darwish, Memory for Forgetfulness: August, Beirut, 1982 (trans. Ibrahim Muhawi) [ID'd]

on context: "[set during] the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon and the shelling of Beirut [...] Memory for Forgetfulness is an extended reflection on the invasion and its political and historical dimensions. It is also a journey into personal and collective memory. What is the meaning of exile? What is the role of the writer in time of war? What is the relationship of writing (memory) to history (forgetfulness)?" (source)

Gustave Caillebotte - The Floor Scrapers (1875-6)

Original on top, later version below

“Despite the effort Caillebotte put into the painting, it was rejected by France’s most prestigious art exhibition, The Salon, in 1875. The depiction of working-class people in their trade, not fully clothed, shocked the jurors and was deemed a ‘vulgar subject matter.’ 

The images of the floor scrapers came to be associated with Degas’s paintings of washerwomen, also presented at the same exhibition and similarly scorned as ‘vulgar’”.

i had Indica once whenever i was in a horribly anxiety attack, and had a whole ass trip that ended up with me having a whole on convo with my mom… but in my head. She was asking me if i was okay, and i stared at her blankly and just thought she could hear me telepathically as i was answering her. She was genuinely so confused and i just started laughing at the fact she asked me if I was okay maybe 5 times. Then I fell asleep. For 4 hours.

From the media that brought you "Millennials are killing [insert industry here]" articles for years and years and years, now we have....

"Hey, Gen Z, we're gonna relabel vacations into something else now and tell you how you really should be wary of taking vacation because it might impact your financial future."

This is a goddamn dystopia, we know this, right?

genuinely this reminds me of that one tumblr post about that cult indoctrination technique where they make unreasonable requests of you, and when you refuse, suddenly it’s YOUR fault for having a sense of self-care. it’s YOUR lack of commitment, YOUR lack of dedication — not the insane request of a company that does not actually care about you.

the idea that failure is an individual failing and not the oppressions of a broken system.

this is just flat-out manipulation. it really always has been, but this is the form it’s taking nowadays. crazy

i regret to inform people that the gen z stare is in fact a thing and no it is not when a customer asks a stupid question and you stare at them because they are being stupid. the gen z stare is when someone from gen z is given an instruction and they don't understand it so they just stare at you instead of asking clarifying questions. this is what happens when kids don't learn communication correctly in their formative years. and yes, it is very much connected to covid and ipad kids.
