the university where I did my master's degree was looking for art history professors and my former thesis advisor is the program director, but I was scared to apply because idk I'm very sensitive to rejection lately and felt like if I didn't get hired I'd spiral BUT I ended up reaching out to him and he didn't even ask me to apply he was like "oh you're interested? Perfect! You're hired. You can teach all 3 courses we're hiring for if you want." So that was nice. A little bit of a confidence boost. It's just another adjunct position but I know I'll enjoy it.

people keep asking me if now that I have a child if im "finally going to watch" kpop demon hunters/frozen/other very popular children's media property for little girls that I won't touch with a 10 ft pole. the answer is always no. my baby exclusively watches tarkovsky films and listens to aphex twin and bauhaus. my baby is avant-garde.

i’m so glad that iwtv is brave enough to show real queer joy in these times— nobody dies of aids, no queerbaiting, just happy, escapist media about gay people in incestuous relationships with their transmasc mothers, gay people beating up and murdering each other, and the queer joy of finally allowing yourself to be a drug addled rock star haunted by your past

A Siberian Shaman. Date: Original drawing from around 1776; published as a colored engraving in 1803. The source is cited as “The Costume of the Russian Empire, London: William Miller, 1803,” but I couldn’t find the colored version of this engraving in that specific work- it might be from a different edition.
