I call myself a gay erotic artist and a manga artist. The reason I prefer to call myself "gay erotic artist" rather than a "gay artist" is because feeling the erotic, sexual impulse for the same sex, that's very important to me. And being aware of myself as gay is very important.

i want to stop thinking about this damn song but anyway……. ultimately i think i like the lyrics to sapokonikan bc their inscrutability is their character. there’s an ancient effect in that they seem to buzz with a meaning contained in the objective structures of vocabulary and grammar, but nevertheless the heft of the meaning eludes us. and you can go down a wikipedia rabbit hole about john purrey mitchell and how he relates to the song, reenacting the scavenger hunt through history that newsom sings about herself. but the song also elicits a beautiful effect from not knowing the meaning straight away, from imparting your impressions onto inscrutable lines. which is also how we engage with history. so it is what it is but peaches did it better when she said what else is in the teaches of peaches

Olympia, Edouard Manet, 1867, Cleveland Museum of Art: Prints

When Edouard Manet’s painting Olympia was exhibited in Paris in 1865, it was met by the critics and general public with jeers, laughter, criticism, and distain. Manet had depicted his model, Victorine Meurent, as a modern day courtesan, confrontational rather than seductive. Manet’s depiction of a prostitute’s body in a contemporary setting was a radical rejection of the idealized beauty of the traditional female nude. Olympia forced recognition of troubled and contradictory attitudes toward prostitution in the mid-19th century, much to the discomfort of contemporary audiences. The artist made this etching to reproduce his controversial painting. Medium: etching
