aestheticsartcreative workthe new inquiry
“
Visual artists, poets, and musicians are releasing free content online faster than ever before. There is an athleticism to these aesthetic outpourings, with artists taking on the creative act as a way of exercising other muscle groups, bodybuilding a personal brand or self-mythology, a concept or a formal vocabulary. Images, music, and words become drips in a pool of art sweat, puddling online for all to view. The long-derided notion of the “masterpiece” has reached its logical antithesis with the aesthlete: a cultural producer who trumps craft and contemplative brooding with immediacy and rapid production.

personhoodstandpoint theory basically right?
“
The best way to dehumanize someone while claiming you’re not is to believe you are just the same. You erase their experiences and perspective, their struggles and obstacles, their unique way of having to deal with those things in a world that also erases them. With the words, ‘but humans are humans’ or the bullshit dramatics of ‘we all bleed red’ normal people can simply pretend that if we all did things the way they did, then everything would work out okay. But, yes, we all bleed red but you don’t treat a papercut the same way you treat a gash, you don’t treat an infected wound the same way you treat one that isn’t, you don’t treat a wound to the leg the same way you treat a wound to the gut. You are not acknowledging someone’s personhood when you ignore the very things that make their lives different than yours, and when you refuse to understand that their circumstances have given them their own perspective that is just as valid as yours. More valid in fact – their perspective about their experiences that you haven’t been through is far more valid than anything you could ever think about it.

Can we talk about how Anne Hathaway’s husband Adam Shulman looks a bit like William Shakespeare… who had a wife named Anne Hathaway?

perfect. 

perfection or actual time travelers?

I’m imagining a crazy time-traveling conspiracy in which the original Anne Hathaway & William Shakespeare are actually from the present, but they travel back in time with the manuscripts for Shakespeare’s plays so that “William” can stage them and take credit for them (clearly, since pft women writing? yeah right), but actually they didn’t write the plays either — the plays just exist in the literary ether, a mysterious authorless set of masterpieces.

gogodoesbulgaria: … The lips on that thing are doing a lot. I feel this way a lot lately — have been applying for short summer internships because I have more time than I expected upon my return to the US before my job starts. I’ve been receiving tepid responses from a number of media organizations and internships, usually to the tune of “the timing’s off.” But I’m a productive hardworking person and I’m making puppy eyes at you! Ugh ugh.
