people who love “offensive humor" act like they have some lofty evolved sense of what’s funny and what isn’t but they literally depend on hurting others for a laugh which (last time I checked) is like the lowest form of comedy
So fucking true. Like when everyone became comfortable with this gauche, crass, “shock-factor" humor. And you can tell it’s not great by the nervous laughter in the audience when the comedian has gone too far.

Recently came across this small collection of studio portraits taken by another great Malian portrait photographer. This is my first time stumbling across the work of Kélétigui Touré and have to wonder if other sources that have made mention of the liked of Malick Sidibe and Seydou Keita have never included Kélétigui Touré on their list of Malian studio portrait photographers have done so simply because they too weren’t aware of his work.
All these photographers were taken during the 1940s.

What a great find! And these photos are strikingly modern, considering they were taken nearly 70 years ago. -D.S.

Atlas Human-Powered Helicopter - AHS Sikorsky Prize Flight (by Aero Velo)
“On June 13th, 2013, the AeroVelo’s Atlas Human-Powered Helicopter captured the long standing AHS Sikorsky Prize with a flight lasting 64.1 seconds and reaching an altitude of 3.3 metres. The competition was initially opened in 1980, and over the course of the 33 years that followed, dozens of teams from around the world pushed the limits of existing technology in pursuit of this once-thought-to-be impossible goal.”

[photo: spray paint on concrete ground reads, “compañer@, i know that you are hurting but you are still alive, you will survive and together we will dismantle the systems that broke our hearts.“ text is accompanied by a broken heart from which a fist rises. text in the heart reads, “racism, poverty, rape, war, homophobia, sexism, borders, STDs.”]
I wish we could all talk about how femme can be tough without demanding it. I wish frailty and weakness weren’t considered bad things. I wish we could talk about our strengths without being so damn ableist all the time.

This is so me today. Words not working. Blergle fuck.
Yeah this gets worse if I’m tired or, oddly, really really energetic. I just tend to… skip some points when talking because I assume the communication is doing fine without my help. Spoiler alert: I am wrong. If anything ever needs clarifying, ask and I will focus and try to express myself better.

not interested in politics that don’t incorporate love
not interested in the anaesthetisation of politics
not interested in theory sans emotion
let’s use our feelings to talk about power
let’s use our feelings to fuck up power
what the fuck are you waiting for
learn how to cry again
learn how to scream again
pour yourself into things
bleed onto things
fuck shit up
let’s get visceral
don’t let dead men with books hold your heart hostage
