every day i thank whatever higher being it was that created the universe for creating everything that led me to discover this perfect (sadly not real and 2d) being
tangentially related to my last post but even for people who are growing older but aren’t anywhere close to elderly it can be such an awful experience for people (read: mostly women) for some reasons that are entirely social and unrelated to the physical experience of aging and it makes me so sad. this woman who was maybe in her fifties did a dropin to my pottery class a few weeks ago, she had grey hair and let me tell you she was absolutely BEAUTIFUL so i complimented her hair and she got really choked up and was telling me how since she started going grey, she’s found that she’s been treated as completely invisible when she goes out and how hard that is. i know so many women, including my own mom, who’ve talked about the exact same thing. it’s so evil i hate it so much. aging is a gift and yet it’s so socially acceptable to ignore or shy away from anyone showing any signs of it at all especially women. rage rage rage
whenever im spooked i play the worst most memey music because i hold the firm belief nothing can kill you if the vibes are wrong. if you have fresh prince going on as loud as possible whatever's haunting you is gonna be like. aw man. i can't kill to this. the mood is all wrong now
Babies don’t forget there’s an Etsy boycott from April 11-18 to protest the higher service fees recently instated for shop owners despite the fact that the company reported record profits last year. Etsy is usually one of my go-tos but I am absolutely going to stay off for the week. Without its vendors (many of whom are independent artists/creators) Etsy is literally nothing, and if these new policies are undermining their ability to stay on the site without risking their financial stability then they 100% deserve our support. No Etsy this week!!!
Notice how the wife is in the background waving for help before she plans to toss her son into the river, she wishes the husband would look at her, but the husband only cares for MEAT– pay attention to these themes for they will show up later.
wife is still in the background and MEAT is still in the foreground, but she is happy this time in her virginal white dress and all is right with the world. There son has yet to be tossed into the river.
TWO children now with a girl child learning to dispense not only MEAT but alcohol, the wife is in the background, but her smile is frozen and stiff on her face. She knows what the raggedy anne doll at the bottom knows.
everyone is so fucking HYPED for this new meat STICK– no longer limited to the round, finite circle. The father is the most excited of all. Watch as friend Tommy enters the scene from the background and the wife is now wearing pink instead of white. She will never return to her perfect unknowing ways.
1950s gay fucking panic. the circular meat is burning. the wife is wearing red. Jimmy and Tommy are going to go on a “fishing trip” and he won’t look her in the eye when they return. The other wife in white lives in ignorance, but not for long as DOUBT enters her expression.
the wife has finally taken center stage. She sets the table without looking at her husband who stands guiltily with his weird magic stick in the background. The daughter rushes away from her brother who has emerged from the river to hover across the ground and seek vengeance.
They are a broken family with only MEAT in the center left to remain.
