Love me like you did

i get that museums have blank, white walls so that nothing distracts from the art, but i’d really like to walk through an exhibit where the art is surrounded by photos or projected videos from the artist’s life surrounding the time where they made the art. or even just pictures of the area they lived in, the rooms they slept and worked in, the places they would have visited every day. what were the big news events happening just before its creation, what kind of life did the artist live, who did they fear and hide from, who did they celebrate themselves with? how are we supposed to understand art when it’s presented in a vacuum?

God gives his nichest interests to his bravest soldiers

listen, when i go to open my mouth & what comes out is 12 degrees of seperation from what the original topic was, u need to connect the dots bitch. think fast. i’m not gonna hold ur hand but we’re leaving now and visiting every topic along the line. wave it goodbye, don’t get hung up on it

10 miles away from where the Derek chauvin trial is taking place, police murdered Daunte Wright, a Black man, today on April 11th. They then left his body on the ground for 6 hours. They pulled him over for having an air freshener obstructing his rear view mirror. This can't be reformed. Abolish the police

it wasn’t a pull over just because of a car freshener, it was (according to police, i should say, so information may change, take with a grain of salt) because the licence plate was expired, then a search showed that he had an outstanding warrant. and this SHOULDN’T MATTER. we should be able to say “he had an outstanding warrant”, “he was rude”, “he stole some candy” and it not be used in any way to attempt to justify their deaths, like some people are trying to do. people don’t have to be perfect to not deserve to die. people who commit or potentially have committed crimes have as much right to due process and not crass public execution as anyone else. the fact that people have to try and paint these victims as perfect angels, just to beg for compassion and understanding of MURDER, is horrific. when he jumped back in the car and sped away, they should have gone back to the station to get more info about him, or patrolled the area because they literally had his LICENCE PLATE AND IDENTITY. they knew who he was, what reason was there to blindly shoot (or even tase) into a moving car with not just him (not that that’d justify it), but ANOTHER PERSON, and on a public street???? the current claim is that the officer accidentally pulled out her gun instead of her taser and fired, and in the footage, you can hear her yell “TASER, TASER”, but even if this is the case, then she should not be on the administrative leave that she is now, she should be currently arrested and charged with manslaughter, like anyone else would be, and the police station she was part of should be independently investigated and face consequences for such abjectly terrible weapons training. but you cannot deny the fact that she would have not even shot a taser at a driving away car containing a white man, no matter what he’s done (police have literally stopped and contained, uninjured, mass murderers from vehicles).

thinking about how fiona's bit in the first shrek movie about how ogres are so ugly and unlovable, which is overheard by shrek, is the perfect example of how self-deprecation can really harm not only the people around you who love and care for you, but also people who share the same characteristics that you are mocking in yourself

yeah it’s a good song dude but it’s not Deliver Us from The Prince of Egypt 

Jesus…
