today marks 30 years since kurt cobain ended his suffering and mine began. here's proof we're the same reincarnation. aside from that we're both the same height, we both grew up on punk rock, we're both chronically depressed, and both our astrology charts are mostly water signs which would have made us very compatible. we're a mood. lol

fuck joe biden! while I showed up thinking i'd be a little provocative, people were beyond stoked to see the sign and dozens came up wanting pictures with it and of it. some even expressed thanks because i "was saying the thing everybody else was afraid to say." what this reveals to me is everybody is fed up with the POTUS for aiding and abetting genocide and it's reached a point where people have lost hope and the only real hope felt is wishing he were dead. the fact people approve this sign is evidence that people are gravely disappointed in this nation and it's leader(s). transgressive art has an effect of allowing people to explore taboo and pent up emotions in a safe setting and i'm glad people could experience a glimmer of hope or catharsis from this. believe it or not transgressive art has a healing effect. i end this by saying that if a toy head on a stick disgusts you more than 30,000 civilians in the middle east being exterminated in genocidal fashion then i ask you to reevaluate your morals because you got your priorities all screwed up, you actual sicko.

summer 2022—a period of deep radicalization

50,000 people marched yesterday for Palestine in Downtown Los Angeles. great energy + solidarity! even bumped into old friends unexpectedly. hope the U.S. gov understands not even its own citizens support the genocide it's committing to. also fuck apartheid... what era are we living in? also didn't realize there was a small group of counter protesters pepper spraying people...🖕

i feel so bad for nikola tesla like imagine spending years beefing with a guy who has conned the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and you end up dying broke and starving and alone and then 200 years later another guy cons the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and he's doing it all IN YOUR NAME. he must be rolling in his grave like a fucking rotisserie chicken

interpretation of movie "Nope" by friends: 1. the film's about police brutality. the ufo represents police—outsiders who come to surveil/patrol your neighborhood and fuck you up if you challenge their presence ("staring at them" in movie). also about how most police killings go unnoticed because it's rarely captured, hence why film's ufo carnage always fails to get filmed. the burden of proof. 2. about how entertainment industry exploits people. the black jockey was used in the first ever motion picture reel but never given credit (black erasure from hollywood). everyone wants to get famous even if it means filming others' suffering or putting own life at risk for spectacle. hollywood will steal your work to make money, hence tmz guy intruding on haywood ranch during showdown to cash in on their alien footage. also, the reason why gordy the chimp doesn't kill jupe is bc he sees jupe (asian child actor) as an equal also being used by the industry. tokenized. 3. social media/fame makes us commodify our trauma. not only does jupe survive a traumatizing massacre, he spends the rest of his life making money off it. he sells gordy memorabilia and markets his tragedy. the others want to get "the best shot" that'll guarantee them fame even when their own lives are at stake. not only does the entertainment industry exploit us, we've learned to exploit ourselves for it.

Sammajammaz: We often talk about what will be abolished under socialism/communism, but never what will be built. This, to me, is a mistake

Rocknocking:  Ofc we do (attaches picture of sign that reads:”Make the golf course a public sex forest.”)
