Reposted by 🕳️Gretchen Felker-Martin PRE ORDER CHIMERA 2.16.27 🍉 @scumbelievable.bsky.social · 06/02/2026I dream of having enough stability in our culture that anyone who wants to can pursue the arts, but the meaning comes from that pursuit, from translating human experiences through skills acquired over time. Art is labor, but it isn't just some commodity that can be pulped and reconstituted. 41305171
🕳️ @ghosttouched.bsky.social · 15/11/2025And it took me until this very year to seriously consider (thank you to my very astute, very funny, very observant sweetheart) that I might in fact be smarter than them. Unbelievable sudden clarity. What a life 010
🕳️ @ghosttouched.bsky.social · 15/11/2025Eventually, gently debunking a random conservative chain mail is what got me disowned at 22. Was somehow shocked at the violence of that response too. Amusingly, I’ve since grown into the very thing they feared I was before I knew what that was or why they feared it: a gay socialist artist 110
🕳️ @ghosttouched.bsky.social · 15/11/2025The naïveté of this is mortifying in retrospect. But I could not draw a logical line from what I’d said to the incredible unified anger of their response, esp. accusations about thinking I was smarter than them: I was a terminally confused, closeted teen convinced I was the stupidest cretin on earth 110
🕳️ @ghosttouched.bsky.social · 15/11/2025I didn’t even begin to form a political identity until after college. Likely being on the autism spectrum made this worse: I thought I was being reassuring & helpful when I fact checked fake news stories, etc.—that it would make them feel better to learn the things they were scared of weren’t true 110
🕳️ @ghosttouched.bsky.social · 15/11/2025Ofc at 36 I now understand that they saw me as some insane liberal interlocutor bent on humiliating them, but as a kid I was just mystified by my inability to say anything, ever, w/o a dogpile ensuing. I was so sheltered & ignorant & dissociated from real life, I didn’t even know what a liberal was 110
🕳️ @ghosttouched.bsky.social · 15/11/2025Trying to read these emails has made me realize why my wealthy conservative family members used lose their minds about me, a thirteen-year-old, “talking down” to them if I replied to some deranged family-wide copy pasta email using so much as a single grammatically complete sentence 110
