ana mendieta “people looking at blood, moffit, iowa” 1973
“In this piece, Mendieta spilled a large amount of what appeared to be chunky blood over a doorway and sidewalk on an Iowa City street. Then she removed herself from the scene and, from a distance, photographed the reactions of various passersby. […]
It intimates to passersby that a grievous and dramatic injury has taken place, but it gives no explanation and, more important, no recourse to action. It may incite horror, concern, compassion, and revulsion—in short, pity and fear—but it doesn’t offer anywhere for these feelings to go. […] Each pedestrian’s only real choice is to walk on by, which looks from the outside—and likely felt, on the inside—like an uncaring abandonment, even if of an indeterminate or imaginary entity. […] And somewhere out of sight lurks Mendieta, a voyeur of each passerby’s involuntary voyeurism. […] People Looking at Blood says, Look at this pile of carnage, with no clear story, source, assailant, or victim. Just look at it. Now look at others looking at it. (And I will be looking at you looking.)”— The Art of Cruelty, Maggie Nelson
Ana Mendieta was murdered by her husband and fellow artist Carl Andre. This work became a self fulfilling prophecy and meditation on tragedy, the nature of violence, and peoples unwillingness to help.
And no I will not shut up about this.
By the way, her husband never went to prison for what he did.

leo dicaprio was nominated five times in twenty two years
amy adams was nominated five times in eight years.
it took her less than half the time it took him to get the same number of nominations.
her performances are poignant, subtle, always beautifully delivered.
the fact she wasn’t even nominated for arrival is an absolute atrocity.
this is the hill on which i die.
she also has the added bonus of not being a creep ♡

Audrey Hepburn was constructed out of tile in 1965 on the side of the Chase Bank at Sunset and Vine. It’s a pretty interesting landmark that most people ignore.

Proposals for Gender Neutral Alternatives for Common Words: Mr./Mrs./Ms.
I actually don’t have any big problem with Mx. aside from thinking “Mix Last-name” sounds a little odd. But let’s see what else we can come up with? Pros and cons lists included of course.
Mk. (pronounce miku) reference to virtual icon and trans-friendly meme, Miku.
- Pros: Lighthearted, fun, anyone who’s been on the internet and seen trans memes will probably get it without much explanation.
- Cons: People may only see it as a joke.
Mm. (pronounced mim) the r and s are gendered for some damn reason, let’s just double up on the m’s.
- Pros: Simple, gender neutral.
- Cons: Looks like you’re calling someone yummy and we don’t support fetishization.
Mst. (pronounced mist) from the beginning of Mister/Missus/Miss/Mistress
- Pros: Mist is mysterious and arcane and the ideal weather for obscuring one’s physical form from observation.
- Cons: Mst. is a little long, but mt., which I’d rather go with, already stands for mountain.
These are just suggestions. I am a nonbinary person offering these in good faith and good fun. Please keep that in mind when responding.
- Pros: Lighthearted, fun, anyone who’s been on the internet and seen trans memes will probably get it without much explanation.

can’t stand a “don’t wish death on anybody” ass bitch
i just think showing kindness and sympathy to ppl who hate you to ~prove~ you’re better than them is some bullshit and i shan’t be ascribing to that! !
Death is inevitable. Why would I wish it on whomever when they could spend the rest of their life suffering instead?
and have the opportunity to also spend the rest of their lives causing others to suffer because they are? a lot of the time even more than they already were? pass
I read somewhere once that boundless kindness and forgiveness is also a form of evil. Who are you to forgive or be kind to someone that has hurt millions of people? Where do you get the concience, no, the privilege to do that, when you’re not the one being affected?
