just a thought: social justice has been corrupted by capitalism and can now be sold as a commodity and worse off be faked to improve social standing amoung oppressed groups to make sales
The “tattooist” behind them is actually Fabio Viale, an Italian artist who aims to show us a new way of looking at the old and familiar. Using the bodies of famous sculptures such as the Venus de Milo as his canvas, the artist decorates them with realistic tattoos inspired by the patterns born by Russian gangs and the Japanese Yakuza. The end result delivers a sharp contrast between the traditional purity associated with white marble statues, and the dark and gritty connotations of the contemporary body art they bear.

Millennials should really rediscover MASH en masse. It’s dead on aesthetic for this generation.

Dear Humans #AEONXZA
Dear Humans.
We shall call you this because this is what you call yourselves.
It has come to our attention that you just aren’t getting it. We thought the signs would be enough.
Unfortunately for the both of us, those signs were misinterpreted.
We should have been honest. We should have told you more about your power.
We exist beyond the constraints of time of which you are enslaved.
Know this.
This enslavement is only an illusion.
After your death does your flesh disappear into the nothingness of what we call the void?
Or does it get absorbed back into the unselfish soil?
My Discordia
In many ways, Religion is kinda stupid, right?
but instead of leaning away from it
let’s dive in
head first
Let’s exercise our right to be wrong
Let’s juice the religious experience for everything it’s got.
Because IF beliefs are sacred, even the stupid ones,
BOOM, a bunch of really stupid shit is now sacred.
A lot of atheists come into Discordianism because it’s this great joke on religion.
And then
when you feel where this headspace is,
you can see there’s something else
beyond
and you don’t need to go to church for it,
you don’t even need to really believe in a god to tap into it,
it’s this chaos inside
which can become anything
and listen–if there are things in this universe
that are irrational
then our rational minds deceive us
into thinking that whole Enlightenment routine
can bust down any wall
but hey, you try reasoning with the clouds
I’m sure they’ll come around.
listen,
some stuff in this world is sacred
and I don’t know what sacred means except
a connection between
heaven and earth,
the conceptual and the material,
the body and the spirit
and some stupid shit is sacred now
finally
finally the bibles are molding on the shelves
finally the traditions have worn out
finally the parade is over
finally god is off the pedestal
finally we are in the driver’s seat
finally a roach will save me
finally, flying baby shit
R. Crumb of course
