I love that word. Forever. I love that forever doesn’t exist, but we have a word for it anyway, and use it all the time. It’s beautiful and doomed.

“When I was a student at Cambridge I remember an anthropology professor holding up a picture of a bone with 28 incisions carved in it. “This is often considered to be man’s first attempt at a calendar,” she explained. She paused as we dutifully wrote this down. “My question to you is this – what man needs to mark 28 days? I would suggest to you that this is woman’s first attempt at a calendar.”

— Sandi Toksvig, ‘Top 10 unsung heroines’ (via theknopeway)

I think it stems from the fact that having a presence online is the easiest way to be seen. Because letting your art be seen is the first step to calling your art your own, social media is often the most comfortable medium.

Where it becomes messy is when being seen is all that matters. Find me here, here, and here. This is what I do, this is what I think. Where else can you find so many people, all in the same place? And how many of you can see me?

do u guys think that you can be somebody without a public following from an instagram account? like an aspiring writer, artist, creative? society has commodified attention and i dont like it. it seems that the only option for a creative person is to climb their way up the ladder of social media to share their work... success without an online presence seems a far-away dream of the past

Is this the Omen, or am I suddenly in a du Maurier novel? I even saw a bat up close as it flew past my head. We both seemed to find each other interesting, although the bat did not stick around to chat. This is very often how it goes.
