curious if mosh pits fill an absence for single children who didn't experience wrestling your sibling within an inch of each others lives every once in a while

how many academics does it take to drive me to critical capacity on code switching and just cause me to implode on the spot

Whess @ndn-bebop.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

it did desperately make me wanna see a regular Xiu Xiu set bc it's been such a long time since I last had the privilege

000

Whess @ndn-bebop.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

but as a video essay/assemblage situation with a live score by Xiu Xiu, I had a nice time watching Eraserhead and I cannot imagine more perfect conditions for seeing this movie

he's an undisciplined filmmaker in certain ways, and which in other ways is a quality i can really enjoy about someone's work

Whess @ndn-bebop.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

i think it is the complete surrender to dreamlike qualities that break it for me but not because i dislike whimsy or the experience of disjointed and/or uncanny imagery

with every one of David Lynch's films I see, it only confirms for me further that man, Mr. Lynch's films simply are not for me

back to my old move of writing grants at my retail job when it's dead

Whess @ndn-bebop.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

does not pay a realistic or respectful wage for where we live though 😩

Whess @ndn-bebop.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

anyways, working retail has so much more clarity than working in and/or with nonprofits and academia

Whess @ndn-bebop.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

ppl either think it's cool that this job isn't your entire personality or they're in a closer class range to you and can relate (thus! reinforcing a working class image of a product that the middle and upper class can consume for their leisure activities!)

a piece of why i think this brand has been able to find such a steady audience is also in how they've approached staffing; a tendency to overstaff, accommodating to weirdos with weird schedules bc frankly it brings Flavour that's memorable for customers

Whess @ndn-bebop.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

so it makes a great gift idea a price point that denotes them as purchase that takes effort for the working class but also exist as a failsafe, trendy gift that's easily exchanged for the curiosity of new models released in increasing volume and frequency for those who already like them

Whess @ndn-bebop.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

it's a brand that's so perfectly situated itself as something millennials coveted in their 20s as both a fashionable clothing item and as a reputation for durability so strong that your grandparents catch wind of them

Whess @ndn-bebop.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

it is fascinating to come back to being an expert of sorts on an extremely specific brand of footwear after barely thinking about it for nearly 10 years

🐦‍⬛❕HUMAN EXPERIENCE Stickers have been restocked on my ko-fi!! :> ko-fi.com/s/3ecf690ed7 #formline #indigenousart #telekitneticart

A picture of a 3-inch anti-generative AI rainbow holographic sticker with a formline design on it. The design has a black border with sparkles lining it. Text within the border reads “you cannot automate the human experience.” The formline design depicts a decapitated robot head with vacant eyes. Next to it are two ravens, with one raven perched on the head with a piece of the robot’s antenna in its beak.

there's a ridiculous amount of people who REALLY just needed to dump $300 on some at least pretty decent boots today but come oooooon

like am i into electoral politics? oh boy not especially but there is something nice about your local socialist party candidates being willing to sing not-so-good to pretty-okay in front of their constituants and it not feel like a total stunt

more people should have been at candidate karaoke, it's a good time

huh my landlord barely increased my rent and yesterday the cashier missed scanning a bag of frozen dumplings for me at the checkout and i didn't realize until i was halfway home the recession is looking up 👍

the post-family visit crash combined with post-exhibition install crash combined with always background colonial trauma crash is a bit much

nah, it was just enough in the end

black and white painting on canvas of a mosh pit strung up between two pillars in a white walled gallery. the work is suspended using glow in the dark rope that has fairy-lights wrapped around it, framing the painting. the figures in the painting are queer, joyous and crowded together with elements of northwest coast formline incorporated in their clothing and mask-like faces.

i'm at the part of "i'd love to come give a talk at your university but i don't have my work schedule from my retail job yet" hahah

can't wait to be so under stimulated maybe even reverse stimulated, perhaps just a blob, jellyfish-like, aimlessly propelled

In the right context, singing and dancing can really be some of the most beautiful expressions of resistance.

Whess @ndn-bebop.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

the amount of energy it takes to run admin on one's art practice is maddening
