your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

a text meme says: theforestsarelistening If there are trees you aren't alone hiccupsfreckles I can't tell if this is supposed to be encouragement or an ominous warning traumadotwav #that's entirely up to the trees

happy rapture day to all who celebrate 🪽✨️
panel 1, a blowup doll floats over the earth looking blissful. panel 2 a truck of blowup dolls looks ominous. panel 3 a cohort of blowup dolls ascend into the sky. if you watched Six Feet Under you remember this intro, when a woman died because she thought she was witnessing the rapture. at least she died happy?

Without downloading any new pics, describe your gender
Image is a black and white still from Joel Coen's 2021 film, The Tragedy of Macbeth. It shows a cloaked figure standing at the edge of a pond, looking down at a reflection of two robed figures looking back at them. In the background, mist obscures what looks like a battlefield with torn banners and bodies littering the landscape.

I have a little essay in the new issue of Public Display about queer time and queer imagination! it's an adaption of an essay I wrote last year, but this version bends itself in another direction I've been working towards. in print only but if you see it I hope you enjoy it! happy Pride, everyone! 💖

my art appreciation class begins tomorrow, and I'm getting pretty stoked about it. I chose this meme for the course thumbnail in Canvas and I feel like this really sets the tone for the kinds of shenanigans I hope we get up to

every year around solsticetime, I share my favorite painting of a December sunset by Théodore Rousseau. over 22 years, he painted this scene but never completed it. I love its intimacy, its darkness; how the dense forest closes in around the low midwinter light piercing through. a perfect moment.
a dark painting of a dense forest of bare trees in winter under dark skies. a small warm spot of light comes through the trees in the distance. two huddled figures are walking together in the foreground.
