everyone on twitter is posting and talking about this now but if you talked about it while it was happening you were an absolute freak and people would go out of their way to ruin your life in any way possible
you’d be working at a company and there would be a job opening and the hiring manager would straight up tell you they weren’t hiring white guys, and if you told people about this on the outside they would get mad at you. like, personally mad at you. so many stories like this.
people also had no metacognition about it. i had friends who would go to a concert and come back and say, “yeah, it was cool but everyone was white”. i was in a punk band. if you asked, “why are you saying that? i’ve never heard you say that” they had no idea. just took it on.

"therapy" is one of the most engaging topics. it clearly has a polarizing worldview surrounding it - we may look back and see "therapy culture" as the hallmark of this time.

but, something about it is obscure. what is this cloud around "therapy", exactly?

i have one idea.

one distinction that characterizes many fields over the last century, but has failed to trickle down to normal everyday people, is the difference between modernism and postmodernism.

although this sounds like the lead in to some academia, this distinction is essential. Image
to oversimplify: modernism is, basically, the first half of the 1900s. modernism as a project can be likened to building a big tower. we just got rid of all the "old worldview" stuff holding us back, and with our new tools, all our fields and knowledge are going to come together

american halloween theology: the philosophical mythology of insane clown posse

folk religion generally defies strict boundaries. it is, by definition, often fully enmeshed with aspects of a cultural landscape.

it is in this spirit that we briefly look at the insane clown posse. Image
the insane clown posse was originally known as the inner city posse, and made music far more aligned with the typical themes of rap and hip hop. based in detriot, they realized that pursuing this path would just lump them in with east and west coast artists, hindering them. Image
it is worth noting that detroit is, obviously, not a neutral place. in the american mind, detroit stands as a former manufacturing el dorado, which died, succumbing to various forces, and leaving a shell of itself behind. this may or may not be true, but thats part of its mythos. Image

as i've paused comics to finish my next book, and am working on getting holiday stuff going, it's been cool to revisit some projects. in this thread i'll repost one from 2021: the inverted propaganda series

quote tweeted below is my general operation

let's check it out [...]: Image

Image
Image
propaganda has always been an interesting concept to me as someone who makes images, and in the "propaganda" folder, it's hard to get more heavy hitting than soviet.

fittingly for my general interests, a lot of it is about religion. here are some examples: Image
Image

i was looking at these one day and was thinking that the visual devices in them were very strong - look at this one below. in fact, the communication is so strong that you could easily flip the pieces around and invert their message. so, i decided to do that. Image

saw this when i was 12 or 13 for some reason and it affected a huge portion of my life. a trojan horse: it appeals to people who have a crappy job and feel like they’re better than the customers, and then asks: if you’re so smart, why are you the one working there? brutal.
i had a ton of “lame jobs”. its something i enjoy, in a sense, for a time. if it was 1994 i probably could have been content just working the exact position documented in the film - a clerk. sadly they broke the social contract and put cameras into every workplace like this.
this ended the ability to do anything other than work, which was the whole point of having such a job.

thats really the point of the movie. both main characters feel like theyre better than the public, but only one uses his low station to his advantage: by freedom-maxxing. Image

each halloween season, my mind turns to a lesser known saint: st. odilo of cluny. the idea of a relatively unknown saint is interesting in and of itself: you see the lists of names, it's easy to forget they were all real people who contributed to our spiritual history.

... Image
the long lists of saint names sometimes remind me of a war memorial. i suppose they do call the terrestrial church "the church militant" for a reason.

st. odilo was an abbot at the benedictine monastery in cluny, france - right at 1000 AD, crossing over the two millennia. Image
the tale is: there was a pilgrim who was stuck on an island during a storm. there, he had a vision of all the souls suffering in purgatory. later he went to odilo and asked if there was a day to pray for all the dead. odilo established one. it took off, and became all soul's day
