Cult of the Trash 🔥

A bunch of animals, the kind usually associated with being pests, dance around a garbage can on fire gleefully. The background behind them is broken down brick walls with some trash around them and even further an industrial area surrounded by nature and a deep yellow sky. There are patches of dandelions.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

My 9 year old and his classmates have started using “that’s AI” to mean “I don’t believe you.”

Me: we’re having dinosaur meat for dinner

Je voulais attendre demain pour le poster mais je me dis : allez hop !

Depuis plusieurs mois j'entends régulièrement le genre de phrase sur la première slide. Des fois toute la phrase, des fois des bouts, ça dépend.

Ca me fatigue.

Alors j'ai fait une liste.

Image avec un fond bleu-vert. En haut à gauche, le titre stylisé : « Imaginaires QUEER », et en haut à droite, un drapeau progress pride avec un cercle jaune intersexe.
Au centre, une bulle de dialogue contenant le texte :
« On ne peut pas sacrifier notre imaginaire issu d’une autrice fasciste pour des artistes queer qui de toute façon n’ont pas d’importance dans le fandom ! ».
En dessous de la bulle, la mention en biais : « Plus ou moins ce que j’entends ».
En bas de l’image, en lettres blanches :
« Alors voici celleux qui font l’imaginaire en France aujourd’hui (sans ordre ni classement) (et j’en oublie PLEIN) ».

“Oh did I see you posting A.I?

Instant unfollow

Are you trying to argue with me about it?

Instant block”

There is a small cartoon portrait of myself, a round-faced Asian guy with round glasses and short hair, saying, “I’m just not that patient.”

A lot of my followers and general sphere understands this but it's really important we recognize that even if we don't like some art for personal moral reasons, we need to defend its right to exist. We went from no rape to no cat ears in less than two months. Everyone who warned about this was right
