Contemporary art haters will be like "i don't get it" and then not read the title or artist statement or the medium or the year or

[ragsy]

How to "get it":

Ask yourself, how does this piece make you feel? (No wrong answers)

Look for an artist statement nearby. What does it say about the artist and their relationship to their work? What does the artist say that they are trying to convey with their art? What contextual clues can you pick up from what they say about their background, or what they omit?

Look at the title of the piece. What is the artist saying about their work by naming it that, either explicitly or implicitly?

Look at the medium. Is there anything about the piece that stands out to you, knowing what it's made of?

Look at the year it was made. What cultural events might have been happening around this time? Was this piece part of a particular art movement? What was the purpose of that art movement, and what was it trying to say?

Accept that sometimes, you still might not get it. This is perfectly okay.

99% of queer discourse stops right before they define the true difference between bisexual and pansexual!

[Image ID: A post on I believe blue sky by Heather hogan at heather hogan. The post reads:

'Older lady peeped the rainbow flag on my bike, asked in a thick Russian accent "It's your Pride?" She told me her youngest grandchild is "not she berry or he berry but no berry." I said "Nonbinary?" She got so excited. Yes! Yes! And "Is a secret but they are my" *looks around, whispers* "favorite."

There's a reply by Lyric Rain at rain song dot cloud that reads "Not she berry or he berry but no berry".

CALL YOUR REPS AND VOTE "NO" ON KOSA AND THE KIDS ACT, AND THE SNEAKY MUST-PASS BILL THEY'RE SHOVING KOSA INTO.

there's a lot of bad things going on in the world, but i urge people not to be distracted right now. it's what they want. there's been a lot of breaking news this weekend but it's important we make this part of what's on everyone's radar.

american internet freedom and anonymity is at stake as we speak, and if we know anything from what's happening in other countries, this isn't something to shrug off. due to utahs potential loophole worldwide vpn ban in september, this could be inescapable if we don't DO SOMETHING.

and i don't mean talking about doing something. call your state reps, email them, fax them, write to them, and don't stop! let them know how bad these bills are - and if they don't listen, don't shut up about it!

websites for easy access:

Bad Internet Bills

All of the bad internet bills. One website.

5 Calls

Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

On Monday June 29th at 6:30pm est, the House will vote on The Kids Online Safety Act, KOSA, which is in a package with 18 other internet bills, The Kids Act. Digital IDs, Censorship, Identity Verification, etc, are part of that package.

Continue to call and email the representative and senators that represent your district. Annoy them as much as possible, show that they should vote no, regardless if they oppose it, it’s always the chance they will change their mind.

Even leaving a voicemail is good, Preferably call their state office. Omarbigsister has much more information on what is KOSA, as well as a linktree in their Bio, to websites used to call and email your representatives (even a call script is provided!)

Another way is to use the 5 calls app, able to connect to local rep, senators and reps.
