describing my relationship to someone by introducing them to people as "an old wound"
No poem can do this right.
I promise you I'm trying,
but how can these words tell you
that there's so many feelings
where words won't fit in.
Love falls short
and the word pain is too little
for this strange hunger I have
when I can't eat your lips.
It's not that I can't sleep,
or that part of me is still watching the sunset;
it's that I am wandering around it
in circles
and that no poet can point at it
without . missing
How do you process grief?
by running from it until it finds me in the middle of a sunny street on a beautiful day
You know. Some people could really stand to get more comfortable with the idea of “you shouldn’t say that because it’s mean”. Especially with really common body shaming and straight up bullying lines.
“You shouldn’t make ugly bald jokes because what if a transman on T sees it!”
“You shouldn’t make virgin jokes because what if someone who’s asexual sees it!”
How about you just don’t make them because they’re mean. How about people can be balding or a virgin for a number of reasons and also don’t deserve to be routinely made fun of. How about saying that the reason you shouldn’t make x joke because it spares x specific identity’s feelings also let’s them know that you actually have no problem saying or thinking bald people are ugly or virgins are stupid or etc but you’re just not saying it in front of them. How about you understand this kind of body shaming and bullying especially in a very public setting online are always going to have way more unintended damage to people who did nothing wrong than damage to the person you’re upset with.
Sometimes the best reason to not make a bad joke like that is because it’s fucking mean.
my hearing has been aided and holy shit is this how you guys hear all the time
So you dreamt the new Mario movie
I became the ruler of penguins but they were all jealous and didn’t show up to my coronation so I melted all the ice in the kingdom and made them watch.
I caught you thinking about it again.
You want to constellate the stars,
set the moon in the sky
and the rain just above your shell.
Did you know snails can write, too?
Apparently words can be slower to trace
when you are so glued
Have you ever found a writing or a drawing you don't remember making? Well I found a poem written two years ago that I must've left as a draft. I don't know how it was supposed to end, what the meaning was supposed to be, the person (or thing?) I'm adressing, or even the theme. I don't know how to feel about this ngl.
truly is a beautiful masterpiece of modern art that an online community largely fueled by fandom and media analysis has come full circle into creating a detailed and thorough pastiche, via gifsets and faux analysis essays and letterboxd reviews and more, of a "forgotten 1970s film classic" that does not actually exist. Goncharov (1973) (the memetic phenomenon) has quickly become one of the most biting statements about the current state of art and its consumption. A work of art that exists not in and of itself, but as a discussion of itself. an analysis of itself. An appreciation of itself. pure unadulterated simulacrum.
Are you saying the use of AI will be/is the next stage of our (technological) culture of immediacy?
People are so impressed with AI for what? Because it can make stuff? You know what else can do that? A human being…..oh but that’s not fast enough 🥺 its not fwast enuwf fwor you 🥺🥺 ?
