To little and great Anglo-Saxon (Verse)

Alan Turing

Britain is a small island nation.

It was ridiculed by the Romans,

And conquered by the Normans.

But it used that frustration as a springboard

With an indomitable fighting spirit

It rose to become the world's number-one country,

And maintained that position for 100 years.

Who can say that a country like this

Won't once again

Maintain world order?

Rei Morishita

To little and great Anglo-Saxon (Verse)

アラン・チューリング

イギリスは狭い島国だ。

ローマには馬鹿にされ、

ノルマン人にも征服された。

しかしその悔しさをバネにして

不屈の闘志を以って

世界第一の国にのし上がり

１００年それを維持した。

これほどの国が、再び

世界秩序を維持する国にならないと

誰が言えようか？

Story idea involving pawn shops and karma

With almost no exceptions, people sell stuff to pawn shops because they need money, quickly. So just about everything in a pawn shop has negative emotions connected to them.

So there's basically three mindsets when it comes from BUYING stuff from a pawn shop.

People who don't want to accept any of the karma and negative emotions of the items.

People who don't believe in any of that stuff and just want a bargain. (what happens to them is an unknown)

People who are actively buying things to harvest that negative emotion, for reasons.

See what you can do with that.

I was today years old when I found out I had an event in my life that was so traumatising that I am now triggered by it.

And I found out because we had it as a topic to write in school. And I couldn't do anything because I was just sitting there crying.

Yay.

When Creativity Meets Innovation: The Birth of Clio Art Fair Artists Reviews

Down in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City, amidst towering skyscrapers and busy streets, lies a testament to the transformative power of art. Just over a decade ago, a group of forward-thinking individuals set out to redefine the experience of viewing art exhibitions, which later became known as The Clio Art Fair. It was founded in 2014 when a group of artists decided that they wanted to create something new instead of just following what the galleries usually did.

Clio Art Fair Reviews - A Call to Fame Named Clio Art Fair

Starting from its humble beginnings, Clio Art Fair captured the imagination of artists and art enthusiasts alike. Unlike most other players in the art industry who mostly catered to well-established names and blue-chip galleries, Clio provided an alternative way. Here, emerging talents had their voices heard while their works were celebrated side by side with those of veteran artists. Almost immediately, this fair became popular for its focus on inclusivity as it accommodated different kinds of artists.

Clio Art Fair: A Review Long 10 Years

As time went on, however, Clio Art Fair grew into a global cultural phenomenon. Its reputation as a springboard for up-and-coming artists continued to rise, resulting in influxes of people seeking what could make them famous among groups like these. With each subsequent edition emerged freshness and thrill when visitors got exposed to various types of art, from paintings to sculptures and photographs to so forth.

But perhaps what truly differentiated Clio was how it managed to build meaningful connections between artists and collectors amid an industry oftentimes more inclined towards profitability margins and exclusivity. This event valued community spirit over everything else, hence ensuring that all participants worked together harmoniously.

The Impact of Clio Art Fair: Transforming Perspectives and Redefining Boundaries

Throughout the past decade, the Clio Art Fair has had an indelible impact on the art world as it has ushered in a new era of contemporary art. By providing opportunities for marginalized voices and underrepresented artists, Clio has challenged conventional ideas about what art is and created space for more inclusive, diverse artistic expression.

In addition, Clio’s pioneering spirit has opened new frontiers in the field of art exhibitions. Over time, this fair used unorthodox locations and immersive experiences to push boundaries, thereby compelling visitors to reevaluate their previous understandings of art as well as its place in society.

Looking Ahead: The Next Chapter for Clio Art Fair

With the Clio Art Fair about to celebrate its 10th anniversary, there is a lot of enthusiasm in the air. It started as an audacious experiment that has grown into a revered institution that is loved by artists and art lovers alike. The fair keeps changing every year, expanding frontiers and re-imagining how 21st-century contemporary art exhibitions should be done.

As we anticipate the next chapter of this rich Clio’s history, one thing remains clear. Its legacy of originality and integration will persistently inspire and hold captive people’s imaginations for years to come. In a world where change is constant, and creativity knows no bounds, Clio Art Fair stands as a shining example of what can be achieved when passion and vision collide.

changes and trends in horror-genre films are linked to the anxieties of the culture in its time and place. Vampires are the manifestation of grappling with sexuality; aliens, of foreign influence. Horror from the Cold War is about apathy and annihilation; classic Japanese horror is characterised by “nature’s revenge”; psychological horror plays with anxieties that absorbed its audience, like pregnancy/abortion, mental illness, femininity. Some horror presses on the bruise of being trapped in a situation with upsetting tasks to complete, especially ones that compromise you as a person - reflecting the horrors and anxieties of capitalism etc etc etc. Cosmic horror is slightly out of fashion because our culture is more comfortable with, even wistful for, “the unknown.” Monster horror now has to be aware of itself, as a contingent of people now live in the freedom and comfort of saying “I would willingly, gladly, even preferentially fuck that monster.” But I don’t know much about films or genres: that ground has been covered by cleverer people.

I don’t actually like horror or movies. What interests me at the moment is how horror of the 2020s has an element of perception and paying attention.

Multiple movies in one year discussed monsters that killed you if you perceived them. There are monsters you can’t look at; monsters that kill you instantly if you get their attention. Monsters where you have to be silent, look down, hold still: pray that they pass over you. M Zombies have changed from a hand-waved virus that covers extras in splashy gore, to insidious spores. A disaster film is called Don’t Look Up, a horror film is called Nope. Even trashy nun horror sets up strange premises of keeping your eyes fixed on something as the devil GETS you.

No idea if this is anything. (I haven’t seen any of these things because, unfortunately, I hate them.) Someone who understands better than me could say something clever here, and I hope they do.

But the thing I’m thinking about is what this will look like to the future, as the Victorian sex vampires and Cold War anxieties look to us. I think they’ll have a little sympathy, but they probably won’t. You poor little prey animals, the kids will say, you were awfully afraid of facing up to things, weren’t you?

so much of “queerness” is really just consumption, and i think june makes it especially clear.

buy tickets to a shitty festival, buy merchandise, watch this tv show, listen to this artist, support queer small business— that is what modern day western queerness has become. it all comes back to wringing out every last note and coin from working class queer people. we do not have unity, as class divides and transphobia has turned any sense of community into a fine paste. yes, we’re pit against each other, but it’s important to recognize that we’ve rapidly gotten to a point where we simply do not want the same things. we cannot unite under the formerly common slogan of “rights for all”, when racism, sexism, transphobia, biphobia, so on so forth, has been allowed to run rampant in queer spaces. this is no coincidence!

the “queer community” exists, not as a bulwark of lgbtq+ people fighting for their rights, for the rights of their siblings, but as a tool wielded by corporations to gain favor for a month, make extra profit, and by the ruling class to sew division.

and this sewing of discord is not out of random malice, not out of religious fervor, but out of a need to maintain total domination of the bourgeoise. the queer community will forever be successfully divided in this sense, as long as the majority of queer people fail to be cognizant of the class divide amongst ourselves, and even moreso, fail to recognize a collective class consciousness, furthermore failing to see that the only way to truly secure rights for the entire queer community, is a complete destruction of the bourgeois state.

homonationalists and social chauvinists show their colors in full, celebrating their rights (only nationally, of course) that are about as secure as a broken lock under the dictatorship of the bourgeoise. they can forget for a weekend, a month, longer, about the queer people suffering from their country’s imperialist attacks— fuck you, i got mine.

capitalism absorbs these formerly radical movements by depoliticizing them, and what was once a threat to bourgeois domination, has now become a market category. pride is not a political struggle for as long as we do not consciously work to build unity amongst the working class. you have more in common with a working class homophobe than you do a trans rep from lockheed martin.

the business selling you mass produced nylon flags is not your queer sibling. the gay guy closeted in the military is not someone to sympathize with. these people are, ideologically and materially, part of the oppressor class.

if you care about queer rights, you will go out and get organized. this june is not a time of celebration, as the fight is not, has not, and will never be over for as long as the bourgeoise exerts its control over the proletariat.

PRIDE IS NOT A RIOT. join a communist group and do something for once ffs

FIRED. FIRED FROM THE YIGA. GET OUT!

You're dismissing me? Who could have possibly forseen this coming? I was such a dedicated and excelent member.

Oh well, back to the Village I go. I'll just tear up that contract shall I?

You don't mind if I set off a few flares for my dear friend Urbosa before I go, right?

It's so fascinating to me from the interview with Lou and the way he spoke about Tommy, the way he slipped between his pronouns reminds me of what happens with Jensen Ackles whenever he talks about Dean. This is a man who is absolutely and completely dedicated to his character and finds that line blurring from time to time because of how much of himself he puts into the character, the same way Jensen did with Dean.

I love Lou so much, but I especially love how much he cares about Tommy even when he's been threatened and hated on for no reason. I cannot wait to keep watching the show.
