I Want You To Quiet Down by Patrica Grullon

2011, acrylic and ink on wood

This got taken down for violation, even though it’s a perfect example of what is supposedly allowed. So I’ll put it back up for the three minutes it’ll be allowed up. 😴

If you're lamenting the fact that you used to be able to shoot through a 500-page novel in like a day when you were in middle school and now you can't, it's worth bearing in mind that a big part of that is because when you were in middle school, your reading comprehension sucked. Yes, mental health and the stresses of adult life can definitely be factors, but it's also the case that reading is typically more effortful as an adult because you've learned to Ponder The Implications. The material isn't just skimming over the surface of your brain anymore, and some of the spoons you used to spend on maximising your daily page count are now spent on actually thinking about what you're reading!

I know you’ve already gotten some questions about this but why do you call your posts porn If they’re really more artistic? /gen

People are used to denouncing the rhetoric of the porn we consume, as a sort of disclaimer. (I get off on it but I don't believe in it, so you can trust me.) While also implying that the art and literature we enjoy is representative of our values. (I believe in it but I don't get off on it, so you can trust me.)

We assume that porn is just fantasy, and art conveys some deeper truth. But porn is art and literature. And I don’t say that to elevate it, if anything, I say it to call into question why the mere association with pornography automatically makes something lowbrow. It’s just like any other medium, and it deserves to be held to the same standards.

Sometimes, in the notes on some of my posts, I find people powerfully relating to the message, realizing it’s from a weird kink blog, and then backpedaling enough to cloak it in irony. All in the span of a few tags or reblogs. The evidence is usually deleted. I’m always curious to know what these people think of me. If I’m a degenerate who, for a split second, looked like an artist. Does the ambiguity make me more untrustworthy?

We could also take it one step further, blurring the lines between art and sex and porn: If sex is deserving of effort, experimentation, and non-erotic elements, then why not porn? After you realize that one way to stop consuming porn like a commodity is to instead treat it like sex, both become a lot more fun.
