susan sontag, against interpretation
andrew tobias, the best little boy in the world
theses for life btw—extending the first beyond criticism and the second beyond homosexuality. reminders to stay gracious and willing to accept that things exist as they appear before knowing why. something like that
#trying to articulate stuff i mean makes me crazy. reassuring myself this is an archive over and over#(my quoting andrew tobias is not equivalent to my opining on andrew tobias—not that it matters really.#but it’s touchy stuff so i’m making the note)#susan sontag#against interpretation#andrew tobias#the best little boy in the world#tumblr#w

"We need to decolonize the names for mountains" right but you're still treating them as lifeless hunks of rock with one specific name that exist for human amusement, that part is maybe the part that matters and what you're actually doing is not really "decolonization" so much as "memorizing trivia"

leon golub, interrogation i
leon golub, interrogation ii
leon golub, interrogation iii
leon golub says, “monsters exist because we create them through war and violence and distortion and the way we handle people and so on.” he and the rest of the monster roster draw monsters to prove how monsters are made (or, how war happens). golub’s interrogation scenes “[invite] the viewer into the space of the action” to implicate monstrosity of the viewer and subjects both. via the broad:
the nudity of the victim presents a moral dilemma, described by curators ned rifkin and lynn gumpert as creating, “the disconcerting need to align themselves with the clothed interrogators who are in control of the situation.”

broadly asking god what to wear. how to represent myself superficially. i used to wear a chain that felt key to my self-realization but now feels like too much. i want to look plain but cogent. recently someone told me they saw a person wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans in public and assumed it was me. i felt very affirmed. but it’s almost impossible to dress neutrally when woman-shaped because womanness itself is a departure from neutrality. lately i feel like i’m recreating my self-object from scratch every day. i need a new formula less restrictive than denim-on-denim but that’s the best i can do right now. literally what should i wear
#irl i love explaining normcore as gender expression to cis men because it makes them feel terrible#i mean i explained to a guy that male privilege is neutrality and he cried#though he was already on the sensitive side#tumblr
