To me... there is nothing more beautiful than human art! Unfortunately I think we have made enough of it and don’t need to make anymore.

🐚as someone who has studied a lot of ancient art from the Mediterranean the best measure of a culture are the things that arent "necessary". what people do when they aren't just surviving is often the most meaningful display of who they are. in my opinion, creation is a cardinal trait of humanity; it's how to connect, it's how we communicate, it is how we find meaning. not only is gathering around art something essential to community which again is a cornerstone of humanity, but it makes people feel understood and seen. art is never useless!

i always think about the cycle of consumption
Art is to be made to be consumed and we do, but the other art needs to be made so in the same way a dentist needs a dentist. Who is at the end? Are we not in a deficit of creation?
i think about this often, it reminds me of the crywank dog on the album cover, or a snake eating itself. or all those monkeys typing what I’ve already written here in an infinite timeline.
all this to say not all art needs to be good and we shouldn’t create art to be good.

🧔Knowing someone is reading this and thinking about me makes me feel really good and better than everyone else. I can’t even begin to imagine how good celebrities or politicians must feel. NOTE TO THE READER: Thank you!!! You are spending some part of your limited time giving me attention and I’m not giving you any. I don’t know anything about you.

🦾I love these movies. They were both advertised to the public as fun, family blockbusters but they are actually just really long and upsetting. No family would enjoy either of these films.

📸I love holding cameras and pushing the button that takes the picture. They can be expensive but cheap crappy ones are also really fun. Obviously you can just take photos on your phone BUT when you take photos with a real camera it feels like you are holding a gun and shooting it. You can aim at anything or anyone and just shoot it like a gun all day and it’s not a problem. Unfortunately many of the people who really like and care about cameras are disgusting.
