#.parakeet
Text
i actually don't feel that bad about starting this one since i'm doing recycling this time and. it's always funny to pick up old projects again radically change it bc of course it's been years and observe the differences in. not writing abilities but priorities at least. for example i completely put aside the original main gay couple in favor of a new lesbian tragedy and i genuinely believe the story is better for it
#no seriously it's not just the misandry speaking these girls' thing is wayy more compelling i promise#for starters they don't kiss. it's just mutual unspoken obsession and then one of them dies. or something#.parakeet

Tie a string around your finger, so you won't forget...
The Carolina Parakeet was declared extinct in 1939.
Up until just the year before, people were still claiming to have sighted the yellow-headed parakeets in the wild—in the impenetrable depths of Georgia's Okefenokee Swamp; along the Santee River basin of South Carolina, where people still search for the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker to this day—but evidence suggested only escaped, feral species of pet birds, tinged by wishful thinking.
The last definitively identified specimen of Conuropsis carolinensis, a male named Incas, had died at the Cincinnati Zoo in 1918. As it happens, his last home was the very same cage in which Martha, the endling Passenger Pigeon, had spent her final years. 2014, the hundredth anniversary of Martha's loss, brought the publication of a number of new books on the topic of the Passenger Pigeon and even a documentary; the centenary of Incas' death, by contrast, warranted only a handful of mentions of our lost native parrot.
Hardly a hundred years later, our parakeet has faded from common memory—like the fading text on the tags that twine around the feet of the study skins that fill museum specimen drawers, where they should have filled the sky, should have filled roosts in hollow trees, should have filled our backyards; should have filled their lungs with air, and our hearts and imaginations and eyes with the sight of their iridescent green feathers.
The title of this painting is Memory Knot. It is gouache on 18 x 13 inch paper, and is the 9th piece in my series on the extinct Carolina Parakeet. It is also the final piece in the series as originally conceived (though inspiration continues to strike, and this is not the last appearance the species will make in my art).
Please, remember that there was a bird called the Carolina Parakeet. Remember what happened to it. Remember that we are the only ones who can keep it from happening again.

one of my toxic traits is that i can't stand writers as a class of people WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW ONES ok some of them are also the loves of my life but. they're crucially a minority so apart from those they're all SO annoying to me. and the fact that i'm also one doesn't help. anyway if you're a writer and i don't know you personally you should die
#i should maybe leave that one server i'm in it's not helping the hater tendencies#bc it's full of that one specific type. of people who write only because it's seen as the easiest way of doing it#which on a purely resources point is not exactly wrong and in a vacuum i always support getting your story out there in any way you can BUT#the result is that they genuinely don't care about writing as an artform. no consideration for prose no sense of style not even TRYING#to do something more than a glorified script in the format of a novel. and you can say 'oh you're being mean maybe they're just new to that#but it shows in the way they talk about other stuff too. completely ignoring the potential of the form. the reality of 'words on a page'#it's always just shit like 'is this villain's redemption arc ''''good'''' 🤔🤔🤔' or whatever. i hate you. i'll kill you.#that being said the prose warriorpoets who write only the most boring ass stories about men cheating on their wives are just as bad BUT#i don't meet a lot of those god bless.#anyway. i hate all of you and your fuckass medfan novels so so so so much i hope we all die in a fire for the sin of bad art#.parakeet
