Junk Mail Letters
Mail art started in the late 1950’s pioneered by Dadaists and Italian Futurists, consists of collaged post cards and letters, rubber stamps and bedazzled envelopes. The main, central trait is that mail art used the postal service - was mailed to other people/artists. One core person to contemporary mail art is Ray Johnson, who in the 50’s sent “moticos”, collages which sometimes had instructions. These letters were supposed to be responded to, creating a correspondence chain.
However, its 2023, and post is no longer the primary form of long-form communication: digital messaging is. With the 21st century, as email and texting becoming more accessible, and with the occurrence of the Global Financial Crisis spanning 2007-2009, the total domestic letters the Australian post has decreased by 65% by 2020/21, and it hasn’t up-ticked in the past two years, especially with the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. With the economic instability caused by quarantining and non-essential retail closer, the postal service also reduced mail being sent to one another.
I grew up within the declining of postal mail, with the only mail in my childhood (from memory) was Christmas cards and my parents bills, but not really correspondence between family and friends. Why would you, when you can just call them, or text them? For a while, I didn’t think about this. It was just how life is. But recently, I have been religiously checking my mail, because I’m anticipating a document that is supposed to be mailed to be. And because I was checking the mail religiously, I noticed the mundanity of mail. Bills, junk mail, and housing marketing flyers. It dawned on me; mail, the thing one thinks of when it comes to communication between people on an intimate level, doesn’t happen anymore. And so, this birthed Junk Mail Letters.

Junk Mail Letters is a mail art project, in which each week, for 5-10 weeks, envelopes made from the pages of junk mail are dropped into the mail boxes of my neighbourhood, each holding a letter with a positive message. This is to discuss the loss of connection and community which can be gained through the physical letter. The envelopes plays a slightly different role: the role of subversion. Junk mail is not something people expect to enjoy and like, so to use it to hold a positive message subverts expectations.
Mail, in some ways, is more intimate and connected to people than digital messaging is. Letters are written (or printed, if you own a printer) with the goal of talking about your life and checking in on other people, hand-crafted and hand-folded. Whether its mail about yourself, or a surprise gift to someone else, the touch of a hand made them, and you can touch the letter yourself, hold it for as long as possible. Mail holds connection through touch, from its physicality. You can’t touch an individual text, its just the screen of the phone, with that spot touched also touching a word document, YouTube, this Tumblr post. Mail is impactful though its physicality.

how do i explain to people that no, i’m not joking nor exaggerating nor am i insane when i say that some of the finest, most nuanced, informed and emotional writing about themes such as parent-child enmeshment, emotional incest, transmisogyny, survivor guilt and the subsequent saviour complex, young girls looking for validation through their physical appearance and more are to be found in the storyline of a cast of 4 outcast girls who met on discord and that you can only read on the hatsune miku tap tap rhythm game.
#every new event i get scared the quality will drop and they keep delivering.#some of the finest writing i have seen esp with enmeshment and transphobia.#niigo writing team i love you#project sekai#niigo#mafuyu asahina#mizuki akiyama#ena shinonome#kanade yoisaki#prsk#n25#mine

In classic Gloob fashion, they've decided to overtake everyone in the airing war and are premiering season 6 this week... a day before Disney channel USA!
Raise your hand if your surprised! No one? Okay!
Anyhow, Gloob announced via their Instagram that they will be premiering Season 6 this Friday, January 24th at 7:45 pm Brasilia Standard Time.

Now, the only confusing part is they didn't say what episode this will be, making updating the airdates post hella hard lol. I'm assuming it might be Illustrhater since that's the first one airing on Disney +, but since I don't know for sure, and anything can happen in these international wars, I've updated the post to say 'unknown' for the premiere as a placeholder until we have it. I'll make sure to update y'all once we find out though.
Anyway.... now we're DEFINITELY back for the new season lol. Here's to many more chaotic airing wars to come, and see y'all Friday!!
Update: we got confirmation that they are indeed airing Illustrhater! Thank you @goldensmilingbird for pointing it out to me:
Hype!!

That was... wonderful... to just hear it done for real, after... what? Four years of thinking about it? Wondering whether it would work, wondering if I'd written bits too fast, or too slow, or... to actually sort of... hear it done by real, professional people and the singers. It's... there isn't a word for it, actually.
Standing Stone, by Paul McCartney
Royal Albert Hall Performance (x)
Making Of Documentary (x)
Standing Stone is a 74 minute long classical piece of music, which Paul worked on for four years. It premiered at the Royal Albert Hall on 14 October 1997 with the London Symphony Orchestra and London Symphony Chorus, conducted by Lawrence Foster.
After his success with his first classical piece, The Liverpool Oratorio, Paul was commissioned to create some music to celebrate EMI's centenary. He came up with the idea of exploring "the way a Celtic man might have wondered about the origins of life and the mystery of human existence" and tied this in the with standing stones which to him symbolised something mystical and long lasting.
Photos by Linda McCartney, included on the album.
Paul wrote a poem to assist in getting the story he was trying to convey straight in his head, and it was printed in the booklet of the album. However, Paul wanted the music to work without the listener necessarily knowing the story, for the music to speak for itself, and so wanted to create a piece that "relies entirely on colours and effects drawn from orchestral and choral forces".
He also created two paintings to go alongside it:


I really recommend watching the documentary, Paul is absolutely delightful throughout the whole thing. It's the first time he'd used a computer and software to help him compose and he seems so excited to talk about it (and he has a Wallace & Gromit mouse mat!).
What's also interesting is how the rest of the team spoke about him. They all make a point that this was Paul's creation, and although David Matthews, John Harle, and Richard Rodney Bennet were brought in to assist with the composition, they all talk about Paul's talent, hard work, and the freshness of approach he brought. (The words 'benevolent dictator' may get used at some point, but they also speak of his kindness and generosity.)
It amazes me that someone with no formal music training could make a leap for pop/rock to classical. Composing for an entire 80 piece orchestra and 120 member choir is a completely different skillset to writing a song for the radio (and I'm not saying that's a lesser thing to be able to do, just different). The fact Paul was not only willing to take on the challenge and push himself, but created something so magical speaks to the sheer creative force that he is.
#paul mccartney#standing stone#the beatles#<- sorry i know it's not beatles but i'm here to spread the word of all of paul's other cool projects to you#that documentary is my new favourite paul thing#it's 50ish mins and you'll just have the best time watching him put this amazing thing together#he just continually astounds me while being the silliest little guy#like imagine having no formal music training#not being able to notate music#but being able to compose THAT long a piece for a whole orchestra and choir#like obviously he got lots of hands on experience with music#but for real how many people could actually make that leap#and the whole time just dancing and singing and getting excited about your shirt having musical instruments on it 😭#and also we need more 90s paul appreciation#and please listen to the music!!#none of this 'classical music is boring' bullshit#because it isn't and you can still hear so much of paul in this!!#mine#paul#97

what is it abt ghosts that gives them the best character design ever, i'm not even talking about the wild customizable shells or anything i mean like the base design, what IS it that makes it so lovable. it's something to do with the simplicity and symmetry, but also they're so expressive and adorable that even though they're entirely robotic they seem so human and endearing. how does one recreate this effect or at least clearly outline how to achieve such a thing
#i am thinking hard about worldbuilding for a new project i am starting and GHOSTS my beloveds my favorite guys of all time#there is. SOMETHING similar to this stirring in my brain for this universe but it's EXTREMELY hard to invoke the same Thing that ghosts do#which is what i want to achieve#mine#destiny 2#destiny ghost#destiny 2 ghost

GENRE TELEVISION, in fact, follows a literary tradition of illuminating the main plot’s action through comedy. Who can forget Shakespeare’s Fool mirroring Cordelia in King Lear; Falstaff’s antics caricaturing the character conflicts in Henry IV, Part 1; Rosencrantz and Guildenstern’s misadventures anticipating the greater tragedy in Hamlet? As these examples illustrate, comic subplots and dialogue serve a twofold dramatic purpose: permitting subversive themes or transgressions of cultural taboo (i.e. “speaking the unspeakable”) under the guise of absurdity, and thereby foreshadowing or contextualizing major plot events to come. In this essay I will examine how Supernatural season 3 episode 13 “Ghostfacers,” in blithely revealing the series’ central thesis via the line “gay love can pierce through the veil of death and save the day,”
#draw your own conclusions! or: THIS is what you do with a BA in English#this is also to say that essay project I've teased isn't dead! I'm just a bad procrastinator. new year's resolution to finish it#so pls accept this teaser for its thesis as a gesture of solidarity#supernatural#spn#dean winchester#castiel#destiel#spn meta#spn crack#spn is queer#mine
