abstract and modern art haters are sooo snobby like klein literally Created an entirely new pigment and then painted a canvas in a way where the brush strokes wouldn't be visible. the insinuation that people with no skill could reproduce that is so annoying because unless you are skilled at color mixing and painting you definitely couldn’t lmao

how can any language be ‘ugly’ if it’s always also the language passed along from a mother to her child, the language of two lovers in the dark, the language of stories told by grandfathers, the language of vows and eulogies, the language of learning and singing and feeling and connection and culture… how is all of that not inherently beautiful

I was meant to be a character in a low budget horror movie in 2005 wearing a short sleeved shirt over a long sleeved shirt to signify to the audience that I am an enjoyer of music

when sleater kinney said “they want to socialize you, they want to purify you” and when Le Tigre said “it’s okay to hate your job, after all it’s fucking wrong” and when kathy acker said “i'm sick of this society. "earn a living" as if I'm not yet living” and “i am nobody because i work/because i work i am nobody” and when mcr said “when i grow up i want to be nothing at all.” yeah…
