The amount of time that the Ancient Egyptian civilisation lasted is just so mind boggling. It lasted over 3000 years. That's such an insane amount of time. It ended around 30BC meaning that it will only be extinct for as long as it existed in around 950 years. Cleopatra lived closer to the invention of bitcoin than the building of the pyramids of Giza. They were already ancient to her. What the fuck

We have a records from the time of Ramses II of ancient Egyptians doing archeology on monuments that were already a thousand years old to them.

I feel like part of my artistic slump is feeling that no one cares. Nothing I make has that draw for people.

There's also the lack of community. I miss how nice early FFXV fandom was for that.

Even just the whole idea of internet friends is hard because I constantly feel like I'm bothering people. People don't want to talk to me like I want to talk to them. Maybe it's not true, but my RL friends are the only ones I feel actually want me around.

Don't get me started on relationships. That's just a complicated mess of feelings to unravel and sometimes I wonder if anyone could actually put up with me. Or if I want to bother trying anymore.

Anyways, just venting. Bad brain day, I guess.

we are in a media literacy crisis

[jactingjoices-deactivated202406]

friendly reminder that characters don't need to be saints to be entertaining. and telling a story does not mean endorsement. art does not need to be all about morally good people.

[vergess]

IDK if this was meant as hyperbole but it's literally true:

Adult literacy is low.

Child literacy is low.

Information literacy has shifted dramatically in the last decade, but reputable information sources like research journals and factual news reporting have been unable to keep pace.

We are genuinely in a crisis of media literacy, with ever fewer genuinely factual resources available in the style and language used by contemporary audiences.

It may sound condescending, but we genuinely need to remind people, or worse, explain to them for the first time that art is not evidence of real world behaviour.

So, thank you, for this reminder. Genuinely.

You're correct:

Art does not need to feature exclusively morally pure characters. Art is not proof of the creator's secret, violent desires.
