I think we need more "unnecessary" gore in horror movies actually I think people should explode into a giant mess of blood and tissue and viscera during random scenes in horror movies

Blackwater Dive

2024, hand bleached and dyed denim, cotton batting and thread

inspired by blackwater photography of plankton! this was my first time layering bleach painting. All the silhouettes were painted with bleaching gel, loosely tie dyed, and then bleached again to make the highlights. I quilted the piece using my free motion foot to outline each individual animal and tacked down the rest of the quilt with small satin stitches that remind me of marine snow. I dyed bias tape to match. super happy with this one and excited to show it in a gallery setting soon!

When I'm at home I make guacamole the Wrong Way (jar salsa, lemon) which is the way my mom used to make it when i was little and every single time I think about how she learned to make guacamole the Wrong Way which was. She met a man on the side of the road (his car broke down), gave him a ride to the gas station (he was sexy) and then promptly entered a whirlwind romance with him during which he worked as a live-in chef for a gay lawyer and spent his weekends either riding his motorcycle (which almost killed him) and/or diving into piles of cocaine like scrooge mcduck

#ya girl #she broke it off bc of the cocaine #also my phone wants to autocorrect cocaine to coccinellids?? why would i be saying that #anyway thanks Guy from California for the deranged guac recipe i do legitimately enjoy it #hope youre ok

Having a conversation drunk with somebody smoking a cigarette always feels like 80% normal conversation and 20%

ELECTROCHEMISTRY: Ask her for a cigarette. You know you want to.

1. Can I have a cigarette?

ELECTROCHEMISTRY: 3

LOW

34%

+1 Already drunk

-1 Did a big sniff when you came outside

-1 Only seen David Cronenberg's most popular movies

-3 The inherent humiliation of desire

THIS IS A RED CHECK.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY (Legendary: Failure): She's too cool to give you an entire American Spirit. Be serious.

1. I will Venmo you 1 reál to let me take a puff of the cigarette you are already smoking please please please.

2. What? No, I'm not saying that.

The discourse on terrorism is generally devoid of historical perspectives (‘terrorists are pure evil’ is one popular trope) and lacks any positionality because, it is assumed, terrorists simply live outside of morality and social norms. But such ahistorical and essentialist attitudes came to haunt this discourse when a former terrorist, Nelson Mandela, became a Nobel Peace Prize winner, or, more recently, when Osama bin Laden, a former American ally, ‘turned’ terrorist. The discourse on terrorism also does not account for state terrorism, whereby state institutions such as the army or police inflict violence on civilian populations, as was the case in Nicaragua and Chechnya (and by the US via the Contras). This last point is particularly missing from the discourse on the Palestinian–Israeli conflict. All attacks on Israelis, whether inside the 1967 border or outside, whether targeting soldiers or civilians, are dubbed terrorist attacks. But dropping a one-ton bomb from an Israeli airplane on a five-story Palestinian house, in which a militant may be present, knowing full well that dozens of civilians will be killed, is hardly ever described in Western media as terrorism.
