David Wojnarowicz wore this jacket in 1988, just 4 years before he’d ultimately die from AIDS. Sadly, just a few years ago some of his artistic work was censored at the Smithsonian. People in power are still content to try and erase his history and the continued struggles of people with AIDS
she is an Artist
such grace…
tbh what i want to do with my life is teach the people of the world to stop talking out they ass abt shit they don’t know. my whole life, i’ve been surrounded by people who just talk out they ass abt shit they don’t know. and it has hurt me, like actually hurt me, emotionally, physically, and mentally. it’s hurt people around me too. all because some people decided to talk out they ass abt shit they don’t know. when u just MAKE SHIT UP, and it’s BAD SHIT, that can have consequences. and now here i am studying the most niche and stupid subfield that only had to come into existence in the first place because people wouldn’t stop talking out they ass and then a bunch of children were burned alive by the fbi. and yet, people stay talking out they ass about shit they don’t know.
actually really hard to do academia b/c my main thing is that cults aren’t real but like this isn’t a new thing but also nobody outside a small cohort of weird nerds know that cults aren’t real so u feel like u gotta keep saying that, but also like it doesn’t need repeating
i know i’m not the smartest person in the world or anything but honestly every day i spend in academia makes me believe more and more that it is a joke
my roommate just came in and was like “hey jsyk…. don’t set the machine to 2nd rinse anymore, that’s why it was taking so long for my laundry to finish, because it was doing the 2nd rinse every time.” like YES DUDE THAT’S WHAT A SETTING DOES, YOU SET IT TO DO THAT THING AND IT WILL DO THAT THING. it’s literally a knob and you can have it pointing to ONE of TWO options……… like the fuck, i’ll start flipping it back to single rinse after i’m done w/ my shit that needs a 2nd rinsing for u, b/c ur too much of a boy to figure it out for urself??????? men are literally so fucking dumb
