i think i might be willing to pay money never to have to hear the word "nourishing" when someone is describing art again. that's a word for soup. unless the art in question is edible but imo only if i'm allowed to eat it and it's filling

#dont know how to tell people who like writing a certain type of posts online this but 'nourishing' just makes you sound #like a member of the weird little sect i grew up in. they would make you memorise the most boring text imaginable and then intone how #grateful we all should be for something so 'spiritually nourishing'#the theatrical awed tone they used happens to be so close to the tone people use when doing a fakedeep little description of art so it's gj #extremely unfortunate and funny #i do get that this is a hyperspecific little experience i have. but i really do think people unconsiously(?) draw from the tone of quacks +#sects esp of the new age kind when talking about art in a specific way #it's usually the people who want you to know they were Very Affected (and this makes them special)#.
