I've become obsessed with Surrealist photographers.

Palpitations.

They all end up in Paris or Mexico City. Even if biographically they begin elsewhere, they're relationally there.

I have to force myself to ration.
That's why I had to leave Paris.
That and The Mannequin.

Oh, do you enjoy photography? You can take pictures with your phone too, no? I can't. The pictures I take just look accidental.

When I was in Occitania for my project (hah! as though it's an official thing—it isn't), I learned about Jean Dieuzaide. You may like his work.

I think about these umbrellas every day.

People: "Reading books is so relaxing!"

Me when I read: crying, laughing, giggling, blushing, crushing.

@arcadiokynikos Up in the skies I wish to soar high
In my imagination, without wings I fly

To walk on untrodden roads like a vagabond
And not to be a part of the bandwagon

Buying books won't fix my problems but neither will not buying books.

Words used to describe Gabriele D'Annunzio:

Sex-crazed poet strongman
Womanizing, profligate Italian poet
Poet, seducer & preacher of war
Sex-obsessed poet who invented fascism

I wouldn't have guessed sex pest based on the poem I was posting.

Let's see if he tries to pinch us.

The plan is to erase physical knowledge so they can monetize it.

Apparently this is supposed to be a "Golden Age," of the working class American getting fleeced by everyone and the richest getting even richer.

I`ve spent a ridiculous amount of time being intimidated by art.

Not art itself,mind you.

Paintings don`t intimidate me nearly as much as people talking about paintings. For years, I thought art belonged to people who understood things I didn`t.

The word itself comes from Latin " ars" which means skill or craft.

That`s all.

No angels from heaven , not secret organizations of geniuses. Just skill.

I hate it because I`ve always preferred the romantic version.

The Greek had " techne", from which " technique" and " technology".

Skill means you have to practice . That`s mostly awful.

Art is a verb.

You make soup beautifully. You write beautifully. You arrange flowers beautifully.

You learn to do something with enough love and attention that another person feels something because of it.

That`s art.

The Art of Painting, Johannes Vermeer,c. 1666–1668

The Mannequin keeps killing me. Why is he so animated?!

Newsboy cap. V-shaped jaw. Tailored coat.

He looks three seconds away from biting you.
Pertly.

@arcadiokynikos He's delightful. I don't know what you're talking about.

Just look at me.

Don't make eye contact.

RUN!!!!!

Members of Congress should be required to take elocution lessons. They sound like air escaping a balloon.

Indecorous.

And they all look like Martians.

I resent that.

Pensiero, io non ho più

Pensiero, io non ho più parole.
Ma cosa sei tu in sostanza?
qualcosa che lacrima a volte,
e a volte dà luce.
Pensiero, dove hai le radici?
Nella mia anima folle
o nel mio grembo distrutto?
Sei cosi ardito vorace,
consumi ogni distanza;
dimmi che io mi ritorca
come ha già fatto Orfeo
guardando la sua Euridice,
e cosi possa perderti
nell’antro della follia.
