Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

yeah it is fucked up that I downloaded the bird app as a middle schooler and that fried my brain permanently into this shape where I want to write creatively but the only format I can really do it in is well — ahem.

all the accreditation stuff would really cut into my lecture prep time so by the time you transfer the curriculum would be declining ever so slightly. oh and the cheating scandal that’s sure to develop. that’ll really take the wind out of my sails

the weirdest thing is that if I found a place and just started lecturing on Tues/Thurs in 3 months time one of my “students” would be coordinating a bigger lecture hall and then about a year later we’d have to start lobbying for accreditation.

I think i should be allowed to give a motivational talk in a T/Th 7:00-7:50pm kinda situation if you catch my drift. sometimes ill make slides sometimes we’ll be whiteboarding it.

okay that’s enough zine talk, on to the bigger stuff.

Charlotte “Chuck” Planet, Local Internet Celebrity @chuckassplanet.bsky.social · 21h

no one at the zine table was actually difficult tonight it’s just that liberals are the most jazzed to *talk* about zines, but then they leave them on the table!!

Charlotte “Chuck” Planet, Local Internet Celebrity @chuckassplanet.bsky.social · 21h

geez sue anne you won’t even take one of my zines to put into your crazy tiny purse that has 18 zippers for some reason what makes you think your whack job sister wants my shitty little piece of purple paper

Charlotte “Chuck” Planet, Local Internet Celebrity @chuckassplanet.bsky.social · 21h

somebody else better save the planet but they better not do it in a way that inconveniences me even a little bit.

Charlotte “Chuck” Planet, Local Internet Celebrity @chuckassplanet.bsky.social · 21h

libz will make you feel like ur zine table is too radical and like they’re about to ask you to leave and then also be like “and do you per chance have one of the tiny ones that I could give to my sister who went MAGA to turn her back?”.

Charlotte “Chuck” Planet, Local Internet Celebrity @chuckassplanet.bsky.social · 21h

you’re not gonna change a strangers mind any faster than they’ll change yours and every lib will nod their head and agree with that and then they turn around and ask me for an article or something they can just print off and show their MAGA cousin once and for all and be done with it

Charlotte “Chuck” Planet, Local Internet Celebrity @chuckassplanet.bsky.social · 21h

the MAGA movement gets people by meeting them where they are. Oh you don’t know what praxis is? That’s fine, here’s your red hat. voting locally is confusing? that’s fine here’s your red hat. Tired of politics? that’s fine, here’s your red hat.

two, you changed your mind bc you were given space to grow and learn. someone somewhere saw YOU heard YOU got to know YOU and THEN they shared something new with you.

Charlotte “Chuck” Planet, Local Internet Celebrity @chuckassplanet.bsky.social · 21h

no, it wasn’t. it was 2 things 1) someone u thought was cool demonstrated a different lifestyle, a different mindset, and suddenly you could see yourself believing something different, living something different OR 2) (next sheet)

Charlotte “Chuck” Planet, Local Internet Celebrity @chuckassplanet.bsky.social · 21h

i had a really good talk w/ someone at my zine table and I wanted to share this:

what made you change your mind? really, think about a time you changed your mind. Think about something you believed once but now don’t. what happened? was it really being told facts?

Many things are being destroyed & the news of it is a psychological & political onslaught.

So it’s important that you create things.

It can be art, cookies, a community pantry, a garden, a mask bloc. It can be beautiful, practical, silly. Just create & share.

It’ll do your brain & the world good.

make shitty bad art. make some art that’s good that you keep to yourself. ask people if they need help with their Halloween costumes or holiday decorations. the product doesn’t matter. you’re human, you’re evolved to make art. if you don’t, you get sick.
