Dasha Plesen’s “Tones and Textures” Series

Daria Fedorova laces petri dishes with various bacterias and other organisms before placing extra elements like fluffy balls, sugars, and sprinkles in the container. 

These manufactured additions impede the growths to produce myriad shades and structures and cultivate otherworldly compositions of unnaturally saturated colors, patches of fuzz, and flared coils of slime all within in a single vessel.

““It is easy to judge evil unmixed,” replied Gwydion. “But, alas, in most of us good and bad are closely woven as the threads on a loom; greater wisdom than mine is needed for the judging.””

As I get older I keep getting hit with realizations that are obvious and juvenile and trite—things I’ve repeated a thousand times and rolled my eyes at for being human 101—and am horrified by the fact that I never really believed them before.

If you’d asked me 20 years ago if it was okay to say no to things because you don’t want to do them, I would have fixed you with a child’s withering stare and said “DUH!” in the most derisive voice imaginable. But it was literally yesterday that I sat down and realized, truly, for the first time, that I can say no to things even if I don’t have a good excuse for doing so. I get to make choices like that based on what I want, not on what the internal logic algorithm suggests is reasonable. I get to want things! I am capable of desire! I am allowed to listen to the voice that says “I like this” or “I don’t like this” and that’s not a horrible trespass upon the universe!

Did you guys know about this?! Have you guys heard about wanting things?! It’s fucking crazy.

Tamsyn Muir's synopsis of her novel, "Gideon the Ninth"

[heywetotheotherworld]

I cannot stand the parodies of modern major general, they're overdone and simply not as good as the original. They've done them about everything, whatever topic, big or small.

And when i notice one of them my eyes will always start to roll.

The diction's always slurry when they rush the complicated words, and adding many fricatives will turn it so cacophonous. The slanted rhymes are silly and they keep just making more and more, please someone stop the parodies of modern major general.

The scanning of the lyrics in the meter is unbearable, they emphazise the syllables in ways that are untenable, in short in matters musical, prosodic and ephemeral, i cannot stand the parodies of modern major general!

death of subcultures and death of third places are directly connected and you can’t convince me otherwise
