“If there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.”

— Albert Camus, “Summer in Algiers”, Lyrical and Critical Essays

fuck an "intended audience" how about we normalize engaging with new and unfamiliar art pieces on their own terms

ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the difference between pushing a product and creating a work of art

[themainspoon]

I can't be bothered to find the thread rn. But there were a bunch of people talking about it, and I agree, so I'm sharing the idea here:

We need a death of the audience; lots of media gets worse because authors are too worried about a hypothetical audience. As someone engaging with media, you need to understand that you simply might not understand all of it, and that's ok. But also I think more authors need to realize that it's ok if not everyone in the audience will fully understand everything they're doing.

If you feel stuck in life or unsure about where you’re going:

make a list of the main things that you care about. This could be hobbies, people, exercising, or et cetera. I feel like just writing down this list helps you feel recentered as well as know what to focus your time on. For me it makes me feel not like there’s a million things to be doing, just a few select things that I am passionate about. Go after these things that make you happy. Do what makes you happy a little bit every day.

For god’s sake if you aren’t Kashmiri please PLEASE talk about Kashmir. Kashmiris who are in Kashmir are facing vast media blackouts and have no means of digitally protesting this, nor do we have any idea what’s going on on ground. If you want to show solidarity...protest and talk, speak up

[thorffour-deactivated20190920]

Here’s a link that explains what’s going on:

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/08/05/article-370-what-is-happening-in-kashmir-india-revokes-special-status.html

India revokes special status for Kashmir. Here's what it means

The Indian state of Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) is in lockdown after the government revoked a special status granted to the troubled region.

[ratgirlcity]

one incredibly scary fact from the article — public protest in response to this has been banned, and (most? all?) schools and colleges in jammu & kashmir are indefinitely shut down

[tariqah]

All schools are shut down along with internet, telephone, radio, and television service.

Is it just me or does 2019 feel....off? Everything is boring, the weather is weird, summer doesn’t feel right. The world isn’t fun anymore. Breaking rules is for enjoyment. People are rude and selfish. Drugs are a priority. Everyone is losing friends, relationships are falling apart. It’s like we’re all...stuck. There’s no emotion anymore. 2018 was weird, but 2019 just feels plain sad. We’re all growing up and forgetting how to act.
