Vanitas Vanitatum

I am so tired of short-attention-span, trim-the-fat culture. All writing advice these days is for how to write like Chuck Palahniuk. "Cut 'think', cut 'feel', cut 'wonder' - only action, only pushing forward, show and move and move and move." What if I could emulate this style, and still don't want to? What if I want to write like Henry James, with three paragraphs of introspective musings between each dialogue line? The music advice is, "make it shortform, make it Tik-Tok compatible, make it punchy, hit the refrain as soon as possible." What if I want that 10-minute prog rock piece? What if I want that symphony? What if I want it slow and luxurious and lazy? Movies. Series. Poetry. Bodies. Everything is "trimmed trimmed trimmed trimmed, stripped bare, you have three seconds to win me over, make it airport chic." I don't want to win you over, then, I guess. I want the fat left it. I want the pleasure and the indolence and the indulgence. Fuck this art-advice that's always "your art needs Ozempic."

And that wasn't even early access. They released full on game without toddlers or swimming pools and charged us $60 for it

*crying*

please god let chatgpt die out like nfts did. With a fast and graceless fall into irrelevancy

Like to charge, reblog to cast.

This spell has a very low hit ratio, so we need a lot of us to do it.

"we're going to hit the centre of Kyiv" bo fucking way dudeeees are you fr??? You've never done that before! How is it possible???

In Ukraine we don't say "yeah, we are not impressed", we say "напугали їжака голою сракою"

The “huh” i just made on original post… not only threatening to attack (IT HAPPENED ALREDY AND MANY FUCKING TIMES BTW) but also gaslighting as if it never happened before. D i s g u s t i n g. ”We, bloody empire, are sooooo peaceful that we, known best for breaking ceasefires and who gave only ONE day of it, for breaking it will destroy you for not being peaceful enough! Destroy you the same way we do every day throughout 4+ years” so fucking scary.
