my take is programming isnt 'art' because programming is 'engineering' just like graphic design isnt art its 'design' i think theres something with wanting to call everything art where its like youre trying to assign more value to the medium but diluting the word 'art' into "anything someone makes"

which theres a better word for that and its "craft". design eng and art are diff "craft"s, no doubt but theres a fundemental difference between creating something with the intention of addressing a physical need(eng) vs making something with the intention of communicating something emotionally(art)

i dont think eng or design should be seen as "less" than art. i think theyre deeply embedded into capitalism and so maybe ppl want to save face for doing a kind of eng/design that comes more from the heart. but i think you can do crafts for any reason even if the product isnt "about" that reason

rn i mostly have cheese for protien lol but its like all the cheese at the store is always gross so its a considerable waste of $

coquette dragoon is not optimistic, yet i read it as somehow life affirming despite its recognizing and delving into the contradictions of modernity. everything is fucked but we get to hang out. and, the girls are cute... you need more kilgore in your life

Coquette Dragoon is 20% off for the Itch Halloween sale~ It is not a horror game at all. But also the specter of neoliberal cultural bloodlust is kind of scary and it's about that a lot of the time. burgeroise.itch.io/coquette-dra...

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off FlΓ‘vio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

internet being full of slop is isolating in the specific way of raising barrier to understanding different hobbies/cultures. ex. if you dont know how to cook but want to look up a recipe how are you gonna know its slop

feel like ive been "sticking to what i know" more, to avoid having to actively discern wether shit is slop or not. which is shitty

theres definetly something abt the like design sense in san francisco where they love to have sterilized architecture with some type of grody decaying looking sculpture, which just feels like gloating about how they treat the poor in thier society

there was some type of multistory "glass+metal bars" type building i remember, with a like 4x-life-sized paper-mache "guy lying down on the sidewalk" sculpture in the lobby and its like you wanna see a guy laying down on the sidewalk theyre like right outside the door

how many guys laying down on the sidewalk could you have saved if you didnt spend it all on a sculpture of them instead

just realized the whole world sees me with my hair swooped to their left rather than the right (what it looks like in the mirror) and thats so fucked up
