[glumshoe]

what do I have to do to go to events where people are dressed nicely and there are plates of free cheese cubes

[nowlander]

Go to the inaugurations of littlely known artists' exhibitions.

We are always begging for people to attend, there actually is the "hack" to invite your whole family but tell them to pretend they don't know you. People with money are more willing to buy your work if they think many people likes it, so your mere presence eating our cheese and canapes will be a great helps. Please bring whoever you want too.

[glumshoe]

Don’t mind if I do!

I will dress like an eccentric weirdo if that helps.

the phrase "tolerant left" pisses me off because technically i'm left but i'm NOT tolerant. if you say dumb shit i'm not gonna be like "uwu you're entitled to your opinion, peace is the best option" i'm fuckimg DESTROYING you. think before you say private healthcare has good incentives

[tonysopranobignaturals-deactiva]

"so much for the tolerant left" not everyone is a pussy. some of us want to rob you

[virgo-disaster]

i have a degree in political science and i’m here to inform you that the idea of the “tolerant left” is a myth that the right made up all by themselves to gaslight progressives for telling them they couldn’t call marginalized people slurs anymore

[tonysopranobignaturals-deactiva]

I have a degree in sexiness and agree

“Untitled” (Portrait of Ross in L.A.) is a 1991 piece by Felix Gonzalez-Torres in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. It’s a spilled pile of candy. 

The pile of candy consists of commercially available, shiny wrapped confections. The physical form of the work changes depending on the way it is installed. The work ideally weighs 175 pounds (161 kg) at installation, which is the average body weight of an adult male. “Untitled” (Portrait of Ross in L.A.) represents a specific body, that of Ross Laycock, Gonzalez-Torres’ partner who died of AIDS in 1991. This piece of art serves as an “allegorical portrait,” of Laycock’s life.

Visitors are invited to take a piece of candy from the work. Gonzalez-Torres grew up Roman Catholic and taking candy is a symbolic act of communion, but instead of taking a piece of Christ, the participant partakes of the “sweetness” of Ross. As the patrons take candy, they are participants in the art. Each piece of candy consumed is like the illness that ate away at Ross’s body.  

Multiple art museums around the world have installed this piece.

Per Gonzalez-Torres’ parameters, it is up to the museum how often the pile is restocked, or whether it is restocked at all. Whether, instead, it is permitted to deplete to nothing. If the pile is replenished, it is metaphorically granting perpetual life to Ross.

In 1991, public funding of the arts and public funding for AIDS research were both hot issues. HIV-positive male artists were being targeted for censorship. Part of the logic of “Untitled” (Portrait of Ross in L.A.) is you can’t censor free candy without looking ridiculous, and the ease of replicability of the piece in other museums makes it virtually indestructible.

The images in the first post are a series of three tweets by detransitioned transsexual (@churchcunt) dated 6:21 AM, 3/3/21. They read:

I’d like to believe my ancestors dreamed of leisure and pleasure. When we lift up academia and corporate aspirations as our ancestors wildest dreams we do their imaginations a disservice. I don’t think people who were forced to work day in and day out dreamed about getting a job.

I think they dreamed about smoking. I think they dreamed about having consensual sexual encounters. I bet they dreamed of a world where their families weren’t ripped apart and they were immersed in community. I bet they dreamed about cooking for themselves, farming for themselves

I think the more we align with that we’ll be living our Ancestors were and for us. Forget capitalism, forge community.

The second post is a screenshot of a twitter post by pie (@KeNaiyaa) that has been placed inside a yellow border with figures in each corner. The yellow border is tagged with @geecheeexperience. The figures are two black women and two black men in various poses of rest and relaxation, including lying down asleep, leaning against a pillow, reading in a comfortable chair, and listening to headphones while leaning against a pillow. The tweet reads:

One of your ancestors wildest dreams was being able to rest. Sit down today. Take a nap.
