happy pride month. if he was drawn today it’d be like: my new PRONOUN. their WOKE deal is that THEY’s a NONBINARY THEM who lowkey doesn’t give a GENDER
You see my thing is that I NEED to see all the wild and fantastical forms of life that come from what we have to day.
I’m so fucking bummed that I’ll never know what rats become. And god I need to see what happens to humans. Like, if we continue to exist for 10 million years, it’s inevitable that modern humans and hypothetical future humans won’t even be genetically compatible and I NEED to know what that looks like
There’s no way our relationship with work would be the same in the far future.
The modern concept would have been unheard of 10,000 years ago. Who’s to say that work 10,000 years in the future wouldn’t be just as alien?
im just crying while scrolling through the mfa’s digitized 18th century drawings which include a really soft and loving drawing of a baby snoozing thats titled “the artist’s daughter” thats just radiating love, and also some very weird German birth certificates from a town in Pennsylvania that a man in 1771 painted mermaids and flowers and lions on
there’s just something about these acts of love through art, man… they’re really getting me tonight.
i can’t explain specifically what about this drawing is making me so emotional, im just having a moment thinking about the fact that this man was another living breathing human like me and 250-ish years ago in france, he sat drawing his tiny baby while she slept, and he is communicating that to me across centuries and an ocean with this image he made, and I can feel the love in my heart that he felt right then.
