ooo!! Slave Auction by Basquiat was also in IWTV, what do you think of that!

I just got this one today and I'm pulling it ahead of the queue to talk about it.

Jean Michel Basquiat was a brilliant artist. Much of his work centered on his experiences as a black man in America.

His pieces are heavy, they are deeply cultural. He covered subjects like segregation (Jim Crow), and the relationship between black Americans and the police (The Irony of Negro Policemen and La Hara).

Genuinely and honestly, I'd like you to look inside yourself and ask, why do you want me to review the eroticism of a piece about slavery? I try to keep any personal details on here sparse, but I will say, it isn't my place to do that.

Instead, I'm giving some discussion questions. You don't have to answer these, but I'd like you to consider them in your head, maybe do some looking into this piece and others by Basquiat.

What is Basquiat saying about slavery here?

What do you think the style of this piece says about the artist's view of the history of slavery? How does it enhance the themes of this piece?

Pick a single element of this piece and consider: what does it mean? What is it representing?

Since you brought up the show: What do you think the significance of this painting is for Louis de Pointe du Lac? What do you think the importance is narratively and for the character?

I'd also like to genuinely recommend some work by black artists and about black artists. I encourage my followers to add anything they recommend in the replies or reblogs.

The works of Nick Cave (Forothermore is a good starting point for looking at his work)

Black Art: In the Absence of Light, a 2021 documentary on black artists in America

The work of Kenhinde Wiley (who you can see more about in the documentary An Economy of Grace)

BLK ART by Zaria Ware

Brooklyn on my Mind by Myrah Brown Green

Before the Hays Code

Maggie Mae Fish, Unrated Episode 1

Fave youtuber Maggie Mae Fish is doing a show on sex in the movies called Unrated on Nebula. I drank the koolaid and signed up (also looking forward to the Philsophy tube production, The Prince and Lindsay Ellis) and the first ep was awesome.

Before the Hays Code covers some wild shit, incluing Will Hays salary in today's money (over a million a year), his involvement in the Teapot Dome Scandal. She covers three films: Wings, Ekstase, Within Our Gates, three lesser known pre-codes. I have only seen Wings an that was more than 10 years ago. It needs a rewatch.

Next week she is dealing with the FILMS OF DAVID LEAN. I DIE.

you don't know how to live

you don't even know how to bleed

when the knife comes from the sky and cuts you open

from scalp to perineum

you don't even know how to wash your scrote

your hands are too browned by the pooping of the parrot

you repeat it over and over

your mantra, your motto, your twisted prophecy

"mr. mantis the spirit in the sky

will wash away my sins, he's my guy!"

May i ask your opinion on long furbies? And just furby...escalation? Enlightenment? Art in general, Especially the ones where they partially melt a furbys face to bring it all together with whatever monstrosity theyve built/modified for the body, (cause maybe you'd like that?)

I don't personally find furbies erotic on any level, they invoke a sense of childish endearment in me that I, personally, cannot connect to eroticism. But I will say I absolutely love long furbies. I think custom furbies are pretty cool!

It's, in my humble opinion, a very noble form of art to customize a mass-market product. People who customize Monster High dolls, furbies, even people who mod Skyrim into a completely new game. I think turning a mass market product into a more personal piece of art is really cool!

I'll show off some favorites of mine from tumblr though. I'm not massively into them, but I do enjoy them!

This custom furby by @lazarus-quinn

@sylvs-furbs and the moth furby they did

@cricketinthemud 's sunflower themed long furby!

Please go give some love to furby customizers, some doll customizers, modders, and people like that! It's a super under-appreciated art form to make something corporate your own!

Seattle Superstorm: An Unrated Action Sci-fi Movie

Hi everyone! It's Jayce. I just got done watching a movie called "Seattle Superstorm." It's a sci-fi action adventure movie released in 2012. I thought the movie was okay. I don't think this movie is for us. Yeah we like action adventure Sci-fi movies, but this movie had some scary scenes that seemed like they belong in a horror movie! I'm lucky that Grandma and I watched it when it's still daylight out. Grandma liked the movie more than I did, so we're giving it to her. I recommend this movie to whoever likes movies that are sci-fi, action, adventure, suspense, and drama. Otherwise I don't really recommend it. Meh. I'd say I rate it 3 out of 5 stars. It's just not for us.

Independently Bottled French Malts ‎ ‎ French spirits aren’t entirely foreign to me. I am familiar enough with the various brandies and have enjoyed some Armagnac and Cognac. French malts on the other hand though, I am completely in the dark. The MaltRunners crew, including myself, were invited to chat with La Maison du Whisky’s Whisky Product Manager, Marion Attardi.
