I'm certain this is on Tumblr somewhere, but I haven't seen it around, so I'm sharing it myself

[bloody-sarcasm-central]

I am in a writing rabbit hole so I’d thought I’d share an old drawing of my poor little blorbo (Kai) I made a while ago. I hope you like it!

I love you all very very very much but you clearly aren’t in a very busy job, and I do mean it in the nicest way possible because otherwise you would understand the bloody value of saving yourself half an hour of work to - you know, go to the gym, leave the corporate rat trap that is the office, go out and see friends. Be alive.

If chat gpt makes a job that would normally take me 2h of work into a 20 minutes thing hell yes I am using it, and any other take is just a bit Luddite. Sorry besties I have a life to live xxx

we need to make using chatgpt embarrassing bc sorry it really is. what do you mean you can’t write an email

I love you all but this is a misconception, the majority of people trafficked are trafficked in their own countries.

I know, sounds counterintuitive, but have you thought that it’s all about money and that moving people across borders when they don’t want to is freaking expensive? Yeah. I love you all but not everything is about post colonialism - not that it isn’t important, but don’t let that blind you! Exploited labour is like 18% of human trafficking, the rest is sexual exploitation. At home. Managed by the same people you buy weed from, btw, more money for them. Just saying 🤷🏻‍♀️

Human trafficking in real life: primarily people from poor countries being taken into rich countries to act as exploited labor

Human trafficking in fiction: "Boss, we've kidnapped our five hundredth white woman from the suburbs today. That's our quota, so we're ready for the underground slave auction. Oh, and fire up the darkweb livestream for the pit battles between everyone we don't sell."

This is an excellent reading out of the whole portrait campaign I have been silently thinking about in my head (and also: the portrait is beautiful, because of all of this, imo) but I’d just like to come in from a legal/political pov on the last line of the post:

The British Monarchy in its current constitutional setting is hardly ruling. The king/queen constitutionally holds the position of head of state and acts as the last safety check in case everything else were to go to hell. But they hold very little actual power against the mother of all Parliaments (Westminster), except an advisory one.

Which is also, incidentally, why I find the portrait so beautiful and apt actually: old power fading. Washed out, a remnant ghost of something past, lingering somehow.

I will be honest guys, the Red portrait of king Charles is gorgeous asdfghjkl

it's a bad portrait. Like. Objectively. It does the opposite of what's intended. It looks like the painter is insulting him. If it was in a contemporary gallery with no context you would see it immediately as the ambivalent criticism of Charles's reign, how he fades into the overwhelming red background as a tiny little figure, small and insignificant, insufficient for the clothes he's wearing. It reminds my of Goya's portraits, how they were so 'realistic' that they ended up making these great figures look pathetic to the viewer. So these are our rulers?

the sheer novelty. the surprise and shock, the kinda cunt it's serving for no reason. I. I love it. It's an incredible portrait by Jonathan Yeo. By the sheer fact that Charles, the man, is impossible to portray as greater than man because he's just such a nothingburger of a dude. So a portrait made to make him look huge and interesting made him be swallowed in red brushstrokes. The butterfly, that reminded me immediately of " we will all laugh at guilded butterflies", draws more attention than him. It looks like an omen. It looks like a warning in all this red. Something is not right here.

This is the best royal portrait ever 10/10
