one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

taylor swift is compelling to me as a horror figure

i think it’s a different form of horror than the psychological price-of-fame horror of something like black swan or even tár… and it’s not really the fame horror you can evoke with the idea of say marilyn monroe, there’s no head shaving like britney.. It’s not tragic like that, theres no crack in the plastic. it’s more about like brand-as-horror. it’s ontological metaphysics horror. What is it like to be a brand. whats the line between the person and the idea of them. the horror of one’s Image. Does taylor swift feel like a real person? What does it do to you to have to perform every single day of your life everywhere you go with nearly no reprieve, and even the mundane things you do are a knowing part of the performance, and even then it’s performance in service of…. what, exactly? bland catchy pop music that plays at target. hints towards art, but again, it has to exist within the brand.. it’s all for nothing. mediocre synth wobbling our way to Maximum Tswift Saturation. existing across all nodes of pop culture, all the time.. Having to at once be eternal victim to root for and overpowering billionaire uncrackable unfuckable monolith. Monoculture as horror. The ship of theseus of a body and mind constantly repackaging itself as a brand. But maybe she was always this. Was she ever there. There’s something thrilling about it, something mildly reprehensible, but it’s also tragic in its own way… It’s something you cant look away from. She is cthulu to me

Got Bones? (Printable)

Hey, I made a printable .PNG version of that “got bones” flyer if anyone wants to make a few copies to hang up in real life and cause some minor chaos around their town. Have fun, feel free to send me pics if you stick it up anywhere

I should specify, for those who are apprehensive:

- The phone number attached to this poster is real, and works.

- It’s not a random stranger’s number, please don’t worry. I set the number up specifically for this piece.

- You will not get a live person on the line, it’s just a pre-recorded message (unless my finger slips and I accidentally answer one of the incoming calls, in which case I will inevitably panic and immediately hang up)

- It does, however, cost me like nine bucks a month to keep this text app phone number running for the sake of the joke. Which isn’t a lot, but I’m honestly pretty broke these days. So if this poster amuses you and you want to chip in to help this thing live on so other people can call the number, you can toss me a dollar or something over on my Ko-Fi page. I’m gonna try to keep it public and live for as long as I feasibly can, however.

This is genuinely the funniest possible result that could have come out of this whole thing, I approve
