Tucked into a forgotten & quiet corner booth with a mug of tea in the noisiest pub in the world. Likes to look at art. (a.k.a. @streamgazer, once upon a time.)

we understand ourselves through media. it's not an accident the right is flooded with harry potter and star wars memes.
we make videos of ourselves crying on our cars because that's how we process emotions: by looking back at ourselves, on the medium we're most comfortable with, the screen. we understand everything through the screen. the screen may as well be our eyes; our brain.
we are aegosexuals, voyeurs, and gooners because we are perpetual viewers. we are all in the audience, even performers.
the right isn't "suddenly" becoming fandomized, our culture is fandom, our culture is media, our culture is entertainment. everything is fandom is an entertainment empire. want to talk about the "end of literacy"? fandom is how you engage with a text beyond analysis, through emotion, sociality, love, worship.

I just want you to remember that we live in a world where crows will tell their children about you, goats have accents, some frogs freeze into frogsicles in winter and then thaw again in spring, some sea slugs become powered by the sun just by eating green algae, and squirrels plants millions of trees every year just by forgetting where theyβve buried their nuts.
