Andrea Dworkin in the afterlife watching the current state of radical feminism:
I do wonder if there is a point in trying to be understood when a unique, incomplete version of you exists within the heads of anyone who has met you, or heard of you. not cooly at all :<
It’s probably better anyways to be like this: living by my values and ideals which should, by my own standards, lead to me “goodness” naturally, rather than feeling constricted, trying to be the “best” version of yourself on every scenario at the cost of your humanity
I feel strangely happy. I think I need to take this period as a lesson to stop being such a sniveling people-pleaser and trying to defend or bring “nuance” to what is so plainly obvious to everyone else. There is no need for me to live feeling split between two modes
Years ago when I watched FLCL I got the idea to start saying fooly instead of fool and cooly instead of cool and now it’s just my thing I guess
The response to this is rlly weird. Why is a phone recording of a bushwick rooftop concert being used as example of “the state of rock n roll”? Why are they being accused of being nepo babies? Does anyone shitting on this know anything about Lex or WPDMT?
Nothing I love more in this world than arguing over things that don't matter. Makes my heart grow three times size
I really do love Cancer as a character she really embodies my whole “all we need is down here on earth let us have flesh communions” thing. She’s also super autistic and it made me feel very seen
Anyways. I finished this game and it was quite good surprisingly. I didn’t love the writing initially but it ended up being quite raw and beautiful in the end
I think maximalism has started to sicken people a bit when it comes to music. It is the space between things that matter most
I know it sounds pretentious but I absolutely love microsound and collage as it allows for really minimalist yet extremely dynamic compositions esp in the context of popular musics(when not diluted into "glitch-pop" and its derivatives). something something dialetics
I find creating music really strange and I realized its bc my ideal form of popular music would have to reconcile sincerity and warmth with the cold and mechanical(heavy collage, glitch, early industrial forms) in the context of microsounds.
