[image description: a photo of a sculpture made from dark blue glass. the sculpture is shaped like a long, shroud-like dress. the drapery is stretched as if a person were wearing it, but the statue has no hands, head, or other unclothed body parts.]

not now sweetie mommy’s bearing the curse.

Eroticism is simply one of the basic modes of human expression and the fact that it terrifies people who have built their lives out of repression and self denial is only more reason to make erotic art. They will not stop with their own lives, they want to punish anyone who doesn’t conform to the same standards of cruelty they heap on themselves. But of course it will not work. It has never worked before. Even under the most adverse conditions beauty has always found ways of flourishing. We refuse to hide or live in shame and fear. We will make beautiful that which they find repulsive.
