[ID: image on the left is an art exhibit of an electric box fan mounted on a clear plastic frame. END ID]

[ID: A placard placed near the box fan describing the artwork. It reads:

John Boskovich, b. 1956 Los Angeles, d. 2006, Los Angeles. The title of the fan piece is: Electric Fan (Feel it Motherfuckers): Only Unclaimed Item from the Stephen Earabino Estate, 1997.

A description of the materials used reads as follows: Electric fan encased in Plexiglass with vinyl faux etching and Plexiglass base with casters, Gift of the artist in memory of Stephen Earabino. 2000.12

Soon after the death of his lover Stephen Earabino from AIDS, Los Angeles conceptual artist Boskovich discovered that Earabino's family had completely cleared out his apartment, including the artist's possession, save for the electric box fan in this work. An entire person, existence, and relationship had been erased, like so many were during the AIDS crisis. Boskovich encased the fan in Plexiglass as a kind of evidence and added cutouts to allow its circulated air to escape and be felt by the viewer, almost like an exhalation. In a sense restoring Earabino's breath, at least as a facsimile in memoriam, Boskovich makes a tender and brokenhearted gesture toward some form of eternal life. END ID.]

Your honor....... I'm obsessed 😭

Saw this elsewhere but RO reactions to an MC who hides sweet notes in their stuff for them to find later?

and then maybe dies (JK but also 👀 it's always angst season in easthaven)

Ohhhhhh obsessed with this okay let's go.

Beck: would love the notes!! He'd consider it something if a scavenger hunt, a challenge to track them all down and to try to get MC to hide them in more and more creative places. If MC died, though, then he'd do his best to avoid them. Every note he finds brings him one step closer to finding the last one...and once he's done that, it'll be like MC's gone for good.

Croft: they'd find it super endearing and would likely start leaving their own notes!! Though Croft is pretty verbose, so it would be more like hidden letters. Writing is a love language for them though so they'd love this. After MC's death they would lock all of the notes away. It hurts too much to get rid of them, but they can't bring themself to read them, either...

Jay: also would really love the notes, even if they think it's a little cheesy. It's sweet and romantic and makes them smile. They'd collect them all, really cherishing it every time they find a new one. And if MC died they'd read them over and over and over again, until the ink faded and the paper grew thin.

Perri: would have really mixed feelings about the notes. They'd like them--they're so sweet!! But would also feel very nervous and flustered about them. They don't believe they deserve someone doing something so sweet for them. The kind words can't possibly be true...and if MC died Perri wouldn't be able to look at them. Not without sobbing, anyway.

Ravi- thinks it's silly but also thoughtful. Probably would tease MC about trying harder to find creative hiding spots--he always finds them so quickly! Might write MC a note or two of his own, too. But if MC died...he'd burn them all. He'd come to regret it eventually, but it would hurt too much to see them.

Yasmin- also definitely thinks it's kind of corny, but she loves it. Would kiss MC every time she found a new one and they were around for it. If they were gone, though, she'd put them with her other keepsakes. Most of the time she'd try to pretend they don't exist, but occasionally she'd reread them and cry.

alright this has been sitting in my mind ever since i first heard it a few days ago, but what Emmrich says about his fear of death in his first scene? It hit differently. Im gonna elaborate underneath the cut.

(also this might be too much personal info for some, but anyways)

'Thats when I discovered I possess a great terror of dying' is putting something I have felt for close to 3 years now so... precisely into words.

I have spend so much trying to find words for this feeling, for this fear, and have not yet managed to communicate it with anyone really so far, because the words have just... not been there.

'It goes beyond dread. It cant be reasoned with or soothed over. It comes without warning, in the dead of night, in sunlit streets. A raw, strangling fear, struck somewhere deep past the heart.'

It hides behind every corner of your life. You can go on with your day like any other person, you can be alone at home or out with friends, seeing the world, and suddenly youre hit with this 'someday it wont matter anymore and you wont feel this feeling and never smell the air again' and you cant outrun it.

Its something you cant change, something maybe not even worth mentioning because there is no way out anyways, so why bother and try to find a reason within it, when there is non to begin with?

'Oddly, I discovered I wasnt alone. I debated this fear with friends, I argued with teachers... Yet... It lingered.'

Others might feel the same, and yes its comforting to a degree, but still it wont make it go away. It wont make it better or unbearable somehow. Because its unreasonable. You know it is. Thats why Ive burried it so deep within me and try not to spiral into despair when these thoughts occure.

I am not really sure where I am heading with this but I guess I needed to get these thoughts out into the world somehow. Because hearing this, having it put into words so nicely? It helped. It made me shiver and it has lingered in my head for a while now, but it also gave me words for something I have not yet come around wording myself.

WHAT KIND OF DEAD BODIES HAVE YOU BEEN SEEING THAT AREN'T OUTSIDE?

Okay, I took your advice and went to a different pizza store! I got cheese :3

Torn between life and death

[spamton]

i accidentally napped and had a dream (nightmare?) where a new update for stardew valley released where everything was the same except on a random day in year 3 Evelyn would just straight up die. There was a whole cutscene that started in her house where she collapsed, and then transitioned over to the hospital where Harvey gave George and Alex the worst news of their lives. However, they got to speak to her where she said something along the lines of "Yoba will protect me, and I am sure he will let me watch over you."

Alex and George would not talk to the player for more than a few words for a full season after this event. George would spend most of his time in the bedroom, so if you had less than 2 hearts with him, you could barely ever speak to him.

And Alex... oh my god, poor Alex. If you were married to him during this event, he just stayed in bed all day. Otherwise, if single, he would just stand on the beach most of the time, staring off into the ocean. If you tried to interact with him, it would just say "Alex is grieving... Better leave him be."

There was also other NPC dialogue like mayor Lewis saying "I haven't seen the community in this state of mourning since your grandfather passed..."

there was also a glitch where you could make Evelyn live forever and there were entire guides for the "immortal Evelyn glitch" that got patched out in the next update. If you tried to perform the glitch after the patch, mr. Qi would tell you that "hey, it happens to all of us. We can't prevent it, and neither can you, no matter how hard you try."

"Former One Direction singer Liam Payne died outside a hotel in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires, local media reported on Wednesday, saying the 31-year-old British musician was found dead after falling from the hotel's third floor.

Citing officials, leading local newspapers La Nacion and Clarin reported that police were called to the hotel in the capital's leafy Palermo neighborhood responding to an emergency call that cited "an aggressive man who could be under the effects of drugs and alcohol.""

aaron bushnell knew exactly what he was doing. he states his intentions with total lucidity and sense of purpose. he knows what he's about to do is extreme--he says so. he speaks calmly, but he's clearly terrified. he takes a deep breath after pouring the accelerant over himself. he has to psyche himself up to light the flame. he struggles with the lighter. he says "free palestine" normally once before he starts to scream it. even through his agony he manages to say it one last time before he stops being able to speak at all. this is a man with total conviction. he wanted to help people, in any way possible. this action was a moral one, and any news outlet painting this as simply a mental health issue is a disservice to his memory. he knew what he was doing when he burned himself in uniform. he knew that there was a chance that sacrificing his own life could go on to save many others. this was the ultimate act of selflessness, and it should be treated as such. may he rest in peace.

ideal ways for me to die

1. old age, peacefully in my sleep

2. after a long and illustrious career i am at a rooftop gala hosted in my honor. i am wearing a beautiful gown, holding a glass of red wine, standing by the railing. a scorned lover approaches and, after a passionate spat, they push me over the edge of the building. the wine glass goes flying, splattering their outfit in red as a visual metaphor for the blood on their hands. as i descend my gown flies around me like two beautiful wings, a bird in flight. a photographer on the street manages to take a photo before i hit the ground and that photo wins the pulitzer. a new york times think piece is released regarding whether or not it's moral to profit off a photo of someone's death. the think piece also wins a pulitzer.

3. sex accident.

might be heaven and it might be hell

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I woke up and apparently the moon was gonna hit the earth, but everyone was like, really chill about it.

I talked to my mom and she said: “Yeah, the moon will hit the earth in about three months, you still have time to say goodbye to the people who you care about." 

I was like "damn”, and then I said: “How do you guys knew before me?” And my mom said: “Its because we watch the news and you don´t.”

the fact that the report [ file available at the bottom of this page ] listing every person who has been killed in palestine since oct 7th is over 210 pages long is fucking insane. the first of the 88 names are from one family. after that, the following 72 are from one family. one family. i am asking you from the bottom of my heart, do not become desensitized to these numbers. 7,028 killed. 2,913 of them children. thousands missing under the rubble. do not ever let these numbers be anything but shocking and disturbing to you.
