I work with teenagers every day and it definitely helps prevent boomerfication

I’m not real sympathetic to the whole “Dante and Virgil were just writing fanfic” type arguments. There’s certainly a human tendency to reinterpret, but the material conditions that form the basis for the possibility of modern fandom are quite recent and projecting it backwards is something that I think is ahistorical
The earliest you can push this back as a phenomenon is probably something like the original Sherlock Holmes fandom
About halfway through Vol III of Capital, Marx drops the secret of always being funny but you have to read literally everything that comes before that point to get it
This isn’t new per se, but much more mainstream now: fandom
I love art and there’s tons that I’m passionate about but like, the whole “obsessing over a character and writing fanfic and getting into fights over ships, etc.” and stuff is a completely alien mindset to me. Don’t get it
I found an artist who does sick botanical tattoos
Going to be a half sleeve of wildflowers
I have a feeling most millenials have given up on ever having money for retirement (including myself in this boat)
It’s actually fucked how stingy they are with pain meds now
Went and reviewed the art the art for my new tattoo
It’s going to be so dope when it’s finally finished (it’s going to take a while)
Plus I’m officially on vacation
Oh you don’t have the right, Oh you don’t have the right, Oh you don’t have the right

It’s so funny they fobbed Secretary of Transportation off on him and then every piece of infrastructure in the US started falling apart at once
Oh yeah, definitely
I saw it in theaters when it came out and it ruled. I also saw Beau is Afraid in imax and that was an experience and a half
So I’ve been trying to remember the name of this indie pop band that was somewhat popular in the mid '00s but without success. The only thing I could remember was that there was a married couple in the band, which was not helping. Then today they randomly they popped up in my Spotify recommendations
It was Mates of State
Not coming for your treats
No worries. I’m not even a Dresden Dolls fan. I just like this cover
But uh yeah, yikes, that all sucks. I had no idea she was such a piece of shit
We will take off our clothes
And they’ll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine
And when all is breaking everything that you could keep inside
Now your eyes ain’t moving now, they just lay there in their climb
It’s Eric Swalwell’s turn
Real Swaheads know what the fuck is up
Have you ever found anything like it?
Honestly, no. I love stuff that is completely sui generis like that.
I feel like anyone trying to emulate it would fall flat
I agree about emulation. It is also emerges out of the moment where Deleuze and Guattari-influenced Accelerationist theory was all the rage, and that was the context that I read it in. No idea what someone picking it up now would make of it
I gotta zoom way in on mobile to see what it is
