To be loved is to be changed

I always say that the thing which sets Sargent apart as a portrait artist is that he draws/paints literally every subject - no matter their gender, social position, life vs representational drawing etc - like he is right that minute realising he's desperately in love with them. And it rules every single time.

Examples pulled just from his Wikipedia page most popular works. Absolutely devastating scenes for bisexuals for over a century

Don't forget the ALLIGATORS. He loves them too.

“They’re just looking for attention.”

Oh, a human being is seeking a social response? Human being, the social animal wired to make and track social connection? A human desires the vital blood that permitted their species to survive for millennia? The human being who was born completely helpless and primed in every way by nature to seek attention and help from their community?

Wow that’s crazy. How embarrassing. Humiliating even. Should we isolate them from community? Should we call Wire Mother?

It kind of fucks with me that somebody killed ötzi the iceman because ötzi himself is like whatever but the silent presence of human hands that drew back the string of the bow that shot the arrow that killed him is crazy. the idea that there were various people involved in that situation and while one of them has had his last hours painstakingly reconstructed and studied to no end, the others now only exist insofar that an arrowhead had to get into his shoulder somehow. imagine killing someone and then suddenly your entire existence is only a vague shadow implied by the fact that you killed them. much to consider

[twoblogger-deactivated20260714]

Testing the mummified bone marrow of ötzi to figure out his ancestry whole time there’s definitely another person, maybe more than one, standing in the room with us but I can never see or speak to them because I only know them through the assurance that they were there too in the form of one single arrowhead. I hate prehistory so much it’s unreal

[angel-derangement]

I hate it too tbh

the idea that predators and abusers are an ontological category of person, rather than everyone having the capacity to be predatory and abusive, leads to people having no regard for boundaries because they think that predation only comes from evil people ™

[bowlingalleycarpetmuncher]

And it's cyclical. Often people who have been predated upon and abused learn to consider that behavior normal and will re-create it at least once before they realize others consider it predatory or abusive. If we stigmatize a person forever for a single infraction how do they grow from that? How do they gain community that challenges and supports them while they grow from that state of mind the same way people have to deconstruct internalized racism, second, homophobia, etc. This stuff gets stuck in our brains as "normal" and then if we brand people as terrible forever how do they stop being terrible?

moment of unspeakable beauty today when one of my coworkers called another coworker "judas" for not splitting a can of white monster with her, and i got to watch the guy who sits next to me open a new google tab, type in "jeudis," and say quietly to himself "french thursday...?"

i know it pisses some people off but i find it fun that most websites use the US flag for english and the brazillian flag for portuguese. kind of awesome. sorry england and portugal you colonized too hard so you dont get to own your language anymore. you gave it up to the americas. sucks to suck. go brazil.
