Taysir Batniji, Disruptions. Loose Joints (publisher) February, 2024 

Between 2015 and 2017, Palestinian artist Taysir Batniji lived in Europe and communicated via video calls with his relatives remaining in Gaza. In a series of “glitched” photographs, he captured the degradation of images due to the Internet connection.

At the time of these calls, the serie exposed the limits of digital communication in order to maintaining family ties and related the heartbreak of seeing his homeland only through altered images. Published by Loose Joints in February 2024, it takes on a new dimension. The artist produced images anticipating the destruction of Gaza City, the cutting off of communications, and the tragic loss of loved ones. Beyond the artist’s intimate family sphere, the images today evoke a loss of collective vision.

Announced on the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Loose Joints is releasing “Disruptions” with profit going to the NGO Medical Aid for Palestinians.

Anyone else feel like their joints are being held together by old bubblegum and loose thread? 🫠

Journey to Dorito Body pt. 10

3/11/24

Soooooo, it's been a week but I have a good reason! I had a medical procedure that fucked up my energy levels and all my routines and I'm just on getting back to normal and that includes exercising again. And I'll be honest...it didn't go great.

It STARTED great cuz my arms are bigger! I noticed and was like "fuck yeah let's go make them BIGGER" but I made a few mistakes that made this workout not go well.

One, I had just had a big meal so I now feel like if I burp the wrong way I'll puke which just so nice /sarcasm.

Two, it was during the day so someone else came in in the middle of my workout so I finished early which never feels good.

Three, I hadn't worked out FOR A WEEK yet I didn't pace myself like I was coming back. I expected too much from myself. Again my weight didn't go down but my energy levels TANKED. I literally had a cataplexy episode the second I sat down.

Four I did squats to failure and yeah my knees had none of that. Multipe full buckles on both sides on my post gym walk. So maybe don't over work your weak joints, dumbass.

So yeah basically my disability and my own too high expectations made this workout not great but I still did it. I've restarted my routine and that's what's important.

Also fucking look!

Look! They're bigger!...not by a lot but bigger! I'm really happy! Not fucking bad for my disabled ass. Now imma pass out. I have no real choice in the matter. The rest of my day will have to wait.

Ow yesterday had the awful-ist floaty loose left shoulder blade. Hubby had to go buy tape to stabilize it. EDS sucks. Sometimes, I feel like a fake EDSer since, to my knowledge, I haven't actually dislocated. Not that I complaining but still. It did hurt a lot, and I could barely move without pain. He got me an XL Hershey's chocolate bar, too, because I asked for it. But he also surprised me with a box of brownies mix that he made!

Today, it hurt so much getting it taken off. My skin is so delicate. (Fortunately not stretchy). Hubby went so slow, too (which is good) and, at one point, put alcohol on a wet cloth to help.

It feels better today fortunately.

This is another time that cyborgkin comes into play. My whole left arm is (/should be) a cyborg arm where I'm from. Just fix my malfunctioning body, please!!

A-T-3 171 Loose Joints - Tell You (Today)

"Now is not the time for action can you not see there is a crisis"

With the coronation and wave of strikes in the UK an argument against disruption I often hear is 'now is not the time' when it is exactly the time. Arthur Russell would have been 71 today. I could share this 1983 track by Arthur Russell any day but today as it would have been his birthday it has just that little bit more meaning

With Andy Rourke of The Smiths dying it's a little said to see much of the conversation taken up by talk of Morrissey and Marr

Loose Joints was Arthur Russell and disco godfather DJ Steve D'Aquisto, their biggest and most enduring record is Is It All Over My Face? from 1980. Arthur Russell had released Go Bang the previous year (A-T-2 130) as well as The Necessaries album Event Horizon (A-T-2 238), he'd written Hold On To Your Dreams for Francois Kevorkian (A-T-3 036) and Philip Glass had put out a short run of his classical composition Tower Of Meaning (A-T-3 121). On Tell You Today Arthur Russell uses the nom de plume Killer Whale

Arthur Russell, like Keith Haring, was someone who was trying to mix pop with the avant garde. Tell You Today is joyous American pop art. We've not become oversaturated with Arthur Russell as we have Keith Haring, perhaps that's because Russell is inherently more difficult... Haring produced a lot of 'nice' accessible images, he was prolific, the angrier more difficult work is easily overlooked and forgotten about. Russells work always pushes the rules, he never doodles... I'm just glad he got to the point where he could commit to record for some of his work, even if he felt it wasn't finished

There are a few mixes of Tell You Today including the dubbed out psychedelic fantasy which is the New Shoes mixes. These mixes are rare and to top things off there was a misprint to some copies that say New Shoes Pt.1&2 are on the b-side, don't! They have the shorter instrumental mix. Clocking in at almost 16 minutes these are mixed by In The Cornbelt another nom de guerre for Arthur Russell. Some folks might say this early doors music but I'm getting on and this is peak time for me... even better, it's daybreak music

Loose Joints - Tell You (Today) New Shoes mixes Pt.1&2

This is the most common version, it's mixed by Larry Levan with collaborators Eddie Garcia and Robert Morety

My biggest pet peeve considered Lucifer aside from what you already mentioned is when I read a fic or look at art and can't see in character wearing his face an old man that he is (who's not human and never was human to begin with) who lived thousands of years and older than humanity. And who clearly had a long sex life with his wife (and who knows maybe not only with her, I find it hard to believe that you can live for so long and never show interest in other people) so definitely not gonna act like an inexperienced virgin.

Agreed.

I love my boi Alastor, but I doubt there's anything he could do, sex wise, that's going to surprise Lucifer. That guys has been having sex since way, way, way before Al was even born, and I think his and Lilith's sex life was wild and kinky as fuck.

Technically speaking, Lucifer is the most sexually experienced person in Hell barring, perhaps, Asmodeus. Top, bottom, or switch, Lucifer knows what he's doing.

the idea of him revealing the cryptic pregnancy in his documentary + the general reactions is making me laugh idk how well it would work for your purposes but i love it. ‘where did marc marquez’s secret kid come from’ thread locked after 1.5k comments and three separate comment wars. pour one out for the poor enterprising soul who first puts together the ‘vale is the father of marc’s baby’ mpreg theory and gets called delusional only for it to be confirmed (much much) later.

theres like a pap pic one year post rosquez reunion where shes like ten and vale is holding hands walking around with them on vacay in his ugly baggy shorts and rosquez baby is makin the same exact face as vale did in a press conference in 2004 at marc doing something mildly embarrassing and the conspiracy theorists are like oh my god. we won.

[antisocialxconstruct]

I got another one 😭

The first two were strung SO tight especially in the arms, to the point where changing their hands was a real struggle, but this one in contrast is strung quite loose, maybe a bit too loose for posing... so I'm gonna have to learn how to fix that 👀

[dolly-birdi]

Shout out to white tack it I can't believe I was sleeping on it for fixing doll problems for so long....I've used it for at least half of my dolls and I'm not even halfway through the pack of it this stuff's a lifesaver.

What if Velvette's cane from the poster is an actual mobility aid but only for a specific situation - right before and right after she gets restringed because it makes her joints feel weird and can make it a bit hard to walk.

I have that headcanon too!!! It makes sense she uses her cane on both ends of her stringing process- when she first gets stringed and before she does because of how stiff or WAY too hypermobile her body gets.

Both ends of it probably suck for her but at least they feel better when theyre fixed and stretched out properly
