Do people even talk about Palestine on this app?
Funny thing in the artworld, you can go from being inseparable best friends, to not even saying hello, without a fallout or a reason, just vibes
I have been in east London for literally yrs
Ok gonna post on here like it’s 2013
Yes I understand 💔
Apart from extreme violent situations ofc, the biggest difference between youth and aging is familiarity and proximity to death - your world that emerges, and your world that is vanishing
It’s so bleakly evil - they are so, so evil - bringing back starvation after iftar. They couldn’t stand seeing them having a moment of collective joy. I don’t understand what kind of debates are being had. Gaza is a holocaust. I can’t describe my shame in words

One GREAT thing about Bluesky; it definitely isn’t addictive
I love the way the fascist right will unironically say “the problem is that the more educated parts of society veer to the left”. Hmmm, yes it’s funny that, I wonder why that is?
The ramping up of the manufacturing of consent in the last few days with regards to the next phase of the genocide in Gaza has been bone chilling
Honestly every artist, writer, visitor should boycott it in the strongest of terms
They said that ethnic cleansing is not the goal, and now it has been clearly stated that ethnic cleansing is the goal, they are saying that ethnic cleansing is something else - see Palestinians as humans and you will see it is genocide, it is ethnic cleansing and it is apartheid
I went to see Mike Kelley show yesterday and honestly I might as well give up! What are jobs that one doesn’t mind being mediocre in?
Downloaded deepseek and cancelled my ChatGPT subscription 👌🏼 am also on Xiaohongshu ♥️ I hate this tech/fash alliance so much
I really don’t blame ppl who couldn’t bring themselves to vote dems, but I never thought “Trump will be better for Palestinians” was even a remote possibility.
Honestly we really need a proper left party to emerge, if not we are doomed
My mum passed away 8 days ago, it was a long journey to the edge of the water and has made me think deeply about so much, the spiritual poverty of our age. Personal death in the time of genocide, dignity, care, rights, so much - does anyone want to commission a sad + depressing piece from me?
Feel like I’m in the underworld, my mum’s death is slow and extremely harrowing, I feel like I’ll either come out extremely powerful or will be forever broken
On my walks nature is portentous and crushing with meaning, and everything is nature, and there is unfathomable beauty in everything and I can almost see/feel the spiralling blur of the universe moving at great speed
In Lisbon with my dying mum - it’s obviously the most intense experience of my life, I feel like everyone in the house is effervescent and evaporating into the aether. Anyone who has done the palliative journey, let me know how it was for you? It’s incomprehensibly volatile and strange and intense
We share a world and a world where genocide, the level of depravity, suffering is managed as a “side” as opposed to an unacceptable aberration to be stopped, condemned and punished at all cost is world that is fundamentally rotten and that is for rotten and hostile to everyone
Being “against” genocide isn’t a “side” it’s a fundamental perspective that recognises the barbaric, spiritual poverty of living in “thank god that isn’t me” mode, instead of “it could be me” or even more “it is me”.
So much pathetic discourse around art having to be political. Wrong question. A: assumes that some things in our lives are uncontaminated by the network of power and politics that govern our lives and B: that artists aren’t citizens that also are part of a social contract???
