so far Dawn winter journal (phil elverum book i posted about yesterday) includes lots about being angry at a maybe-ex dating his friend, breaking ice to get fresh water each morning, a maybe-real wolf that lives under rocks, making a post box out of a hollow log, and embracing smoothness and femininity while he's alone in the mountains by tying his hair in two small pigtails

Before starting ADHD meds I was like

Now after being on the meds for a few months I'm like

And it's very nice

harry styles really wrote an album about long-term relationship which is overflowing with love in all its diverse forms, with domesticity, with assurance, with softness, and with profound emotions including a declaration of the deepest lifelong love, steady through the good and the bad, always choosing to keep going (driving), he really did that

as I'm going back over my past history and items and journals and years, I come across all sorts of things, like the pencil I saved from that so-precious memory from second grade, and a pair of flip flops I've been missing for two years, and (tw for murder/crime/killings) the modern-high-school-AU-kidnapped-by-a-serial-killer story I wrote in late high school jdfsjdfsjkjlksfd

i miss the old grimes

Life update + a thank you

On october 7th, my dad signed the contract to sell our house. The closing date is November 5th. We've been trying to sell our house since January, after our mutual abuser passed away. We've encountered nothing but road block, after road block, after road block. Some of you might remember that we were in such a dire position, I made a donation post or two, as we genuinely couldn't afford bills or food at the time. Unfortunately, all the things we wanted to use those donations for fell through; The car's repair expenses were too high, and we weren't confident that the car wouldn't just become another money sink, more debt, on our shoulders. So we spent the donated money on groceries and bills. If it weren't for this community, and for my friends, we may very well be homeless right now, instead of safe enough to sell our house. The donated money from this community and my friends was enough to safeguard us from the worst of those first three months. My dad got in contact with the neighbors and a very very generous woman has been feeding us and helping whereever else she can. We both have bikes now, because of her.

I would call this year the "objectively worst year" of my life. I've never had to genuinely consider what would happen if I went houseless. But it's not THE worst year of my life. I genuinely wouldn't have gotten through this year if not for the kindness my friends and GW2blr as a whole have shown me, so thank you. I don't know where my dad and I would be if not for all of you who spread that donation post. Thank you. I originally wanted to grab everyone's account PFP & Usernames, who reblogged or liked the donation post, but I deleted it awhile ago, and before deleting I realized how monumental the task of painting or editing a huge thank you letter like that would be. So, I hope this suffices. NOW, I can finally say, that we will be moving soon, and mean it. I'm scared, to be honest, but that's mostly because I've been in a depressive episode the past two weeks. I'll get better. This will be fun, and one of the most freeing things I've ever experienced. I know it.

To end on a high note; Thank you. Every last one of you. For the support, for the charity, for the kindness, for everything. Before November 2022, I felt so alone and unloved. I have a community now, talking to people doesn't scare me anymore. DM'ing people doesn't scare me as much anymore. I have friends now, close friends that I value a lot. And I can't wait to share the future with you, however that might be. Thank you.

It's Printed Matter's New York Art Book Fair this weekend, so I've decided to publish a new project, Untitled (Grave Matters), which is a set of screenshots of art historian Anna C. Chave's devastating lecture on Carl Andre, which she delivered at the symposium linked to Dia's 2014 Andre retrospective.

Though she discussed them at length, Andre refused to let Chave publish images of two macabre works he made after he was acquitted for the murder of his wife Ana Mendieta. Untitled (Grave Matters) fixes that.

During NYABF, drop me an email, and I'll send you a signed and stamped edition. After that, we'll see.

It’s so funny how all the Valkyries fucking despise Gna

We should bring back that thing some websites used to do where whenever you made a post you could also list a bunch of random details alongside it, like the mood you’re currently feeling while writing the post, what you’re eating, music you’re currently listening to, what device you’re writing the post on, some random emoji, your personal motto at the moment, etc. It’s like additional character lore 

i cant believe fontaine finally cleaned up its archon quest writing and learned to Actually Proper Balance its npc screentime with its playable character screentime. and yet. AND YET!!! THIS is the nation where i end up hyperfixating on the historical figures with no official designs.

I fear that culturally we're too anti-intellectual for this conversation, but I wish we could talk about how academics are in a similar position to writers/actors/musicians in that we do all the labor for institutions like universities AND academic presses and do not get the pay, treatment, or residuals that we deserve while it all gets funneled to the higher up admin and for-profit entities
