Incredible art from the Northern Wei Dynasty, Mogao Caves, 4th century

My brief experience seeing Wei Dynasty art in North China taught me it's some of the most refined in Chinese history

blood and machines and too many leather belts to the point that it's absurd and needles and juice that's the consistency of cum and breakbeats that could stop your heart

baby i want to sup of your erotic lifeforce but in a reciprocal way and not like a parasitic male way. i just want to learn to be free like i see you being free

the profound erotic shame that i feel. feels truly like "needing an exorcism" levels of unworkable. im incredibly impotent. DnB makes me blush and i cant write poetry that isnt basically prose. i cant draw because im afraid of shapes and colors. i have to stop when i fuck bc the thrusting makes me too embarrassed

the fact that i still have to unlearn shame… like come on that’s literally the most embarrassing thing to not have unlearned yet

Abandoned Tori Gate found in Japanese Tunnel

Such gates are used to mark the entrance to sacred grounds or gods' territories. "The tori gate symbolizes the division between the sacred and the profane, and is considered a spiritual gateway between the physical world and the spiritual realm."

“Time, I think, is like walking backward away from something: say, from a kiss. First there is the kiss; then you step back, and the eyes fill up your vision, then the eyes are framed in the face as you step further away; the face then is part of a body, and then the body is framed in a doorway, then the doorway framed in the trees beside it. The path grows longer and the door smaller, the trees fill up your sight and the door is lost, then the path is lost in the woods and the woods lost in the hills. Yet somewhere in the center still is the kiss. That’s what time is like.”

— John Crowley, from Engine Summer (Doubleday, 1979)

‼️‼️

If you're having trouble keeping up with what's going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:

While CNN & all the other mainstream media try to paint the university protests as "pro terrorism" (which they're not, they're literally anti-war protests.) Palestinians are being slaughtered by the minute.

Please don't stop speaking about Palestine.
