check out my carrd for a list of stuff i'm into and all the information i'm comfortable sharing!

you can spam like/reblog to your heart's content. that rules

I change how frequently I post and what I post about all the time. please feel free to follow, unfollow, or ask me to tag stuff so you can filter it.

I generally try to keep it positive and sfw. if I ever post nsfw, it will be tagged. I reblog/post about heavier stuff from time to time, but it's mostly personal. I do my serious world and society based stuff in other places.

I do not reblog/post guilt tripping or jumpscares.

I can't form any objective, coherent, or analytical takes on the film Chicken Run (2000). I saw it too many times during my formative years, and I'm afraid that absorbing a piece of media into your psyche like that sort of destroys the ability to interact with it like a piece of art. turns it into something else. i don't know what, but it isn't a movie anymore

people foolishly dismiss desserts and treats as having no nutritional value when they actually are necessary for refilling your sanity stat. to prove my point please observe the emotional stability of the next person you meet who doesnt let themselves ever eat any form of dessert

love island should introduce a "scheming eunuch" islander who is like a smart and completely asexual islander exempt from being kicked off or being made to participate in any challenges and they're just there to provide advice and be a sort of sounding board for the other islanders when they need a disinterested party to talk things through with. but the scheming eunuch has secret goals unbeknownst to anyone e.g. a cash prize for talking a certain couple into breaking up etc.

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.
