I really do feel like the world right now is just horrible rich boomers feeding lies and fear to poor well meaning gullible boomers and the rest of us are just being dragged along for the ride.

Been thinking about the poem "Ozymandias" by Percy Bysshe Shelley alot lately. How painfully suitable for these times.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The title above the first two panels reads, "Dog Toys".
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, holding a bone shaped dog toy. She says, "Look!"
The second panel shows a dog wagging its tail. There is a speech bubble leading back to Sarah saying "It squeaks!"
The title above the last two panels reads, "Cat Toys".
In panel three we see Sarah again. She says "Come, child."
Panel four shows a cat raising its paws in glee. We see Sarah's hands holding cat nip. We see a speech bubble leading back to Sarah saying "It is time to do drugs".

That's like me, a goth, telling myself I can only buy stuff from Spirit Halloween if i can think of where to use it. Friend, I spent $100 on a Medusa statue, blood caps and a SFX bruise wheel. Tbf the Medusa looks fucking awesome though 😆

if you are any kind of creative or artist or writer you *have* to understand sex workers and porn/erotica artists/authors as being members of the same class as us. to the extent society recognizes a difference between "legitimate" art and porn, it's only as a tenuous, convenient, temporary fiction.

Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity and happiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.

No science fiction could have prepared us for just how stupid the end of the world can be. "The environment was on the brink of collapse, and so, rather than deal with that, we burned what fuel we had left getting computers to scam each other for money."

Been thinking about one of my favourite poems lately, 'Clancy Of The Overflow', by Banjo Patterson. Particularly this part: (link to full poem in next part)
In my wild erratic fancy visions come to me of Clancy
Gone a-droving "down the Cooper" where the Western drovers go;
As the stock are slowly stringing, Clancy rides behind them singing,
For the drover's life has pleasures that the townsfolk never know.

And the bush hath friends to meet him, and their kindly voices greet him
In the murmur of the breezes and the river on its bars,
And he sees the vision splendid of the sunlit plains extended,
And at night the wond'rous glory of the everlasting stars.
*An excerpt from 'Clancy Of The Overflow" by Banjo Patterson:

I am sitting in my dingy little office, where a stingy
Ray of sunlight struggles feebly down between the houses tall,
And the foetid air and gritty of the dusty, dirty city
Through the open window floating, spreads its foulness over all.

Lack of access to health care, to stable housing, to food, are all types of systemic violence. The problems that stem from these factors are problems that we can prevent. And I believe we can do that, if we choose to.
