DREAMS, DEFERRED. depicts two Americans sitting on a white couch, a red wall of plywood behind them. To the right, a piece of Ol’ Glory Blue colored lace appears to float. There’s another piece on that blows in the wind off the plywood, and a third that appears to hover in front of the rotting church. The two American men, one seated on the couch arm, one on the couch, are blindfolded. They hold a vase of dead flowers, together.

A piece of Ol’ Glory Blue colored lace appears to hover in front of the rotting church. A lamp sits on a side table in the foreground.

DRAPETOMANIA depicts two Americans sitting on a white couch, a red wall of plywood behind them. To the right, a mirror stands, blanketed with blue lace. In the back, a rotting church stands unswayed. The two American men, one seated on the couch arm, one on the couch, are blindfolded. They hold a vase of dead flowers, together.

ANYways, there’s definitely a possible correlation between squid games and kendrick’s superbowl performance. the idea of not conforming to america’s sick game & undead taking it straight to the streets >>> i also think their tracksuits are possible parallels as well. wonderful stuff!

@moreandagain.bsky.social u repeatedly engaged with me as tho to truly understand where i’m coming from. then suddenly i’m arguing with you? i did not deserve that. fuck you. NOW i’m leaving.

@moreandagain.social nah i’m here now.
U asked ME a direct question. instead of making it clear that u disagree with my take, to which i would’ve said ‘ok’ & moved on, u made it seem like u were interested in/open to engaging with it. then turned and said we’re arguing. unsettling behavior honestly.
