Terrifying Sculptures by Mark Jenkins

Imagine walking around the corner and seeing one of these. American artist Mark Jenkins is fond of installing sculptures in public that hurtle you screaming into the uncanny valley.

Mark Jenkins actually came to our school about two years ago and installed one of his human-shape tape sculptures, as well as teaching us art students how to make our own! It was so cool. * w * 

they’re sad

These elegantly simple transit map posters were the wonderful result of a collaboration between a graphic designer and an engineer. They are available for sale at lineposters.\

I really want Boston, Paris, and NYC. (but mainly Boston because y’know we rock)

So Paris’ transit system is basically one giant homage to the Flying Spaghetti Monster. What does it mean??

It’s February, and you know what that means!
Don’t forget to get your romantic interest one of these cards to demonstrate your true feelings!

Use one of these with me and I’m yours for infinitely and beyond.

I brought up Marxist theory  to talk about gender and gender roles and how capitalism propagates misogyny and patriarchy during that discussion regarding feminism. Only one person verbally expressed that they agreed with my assessment. 

The professor stood in front of the class, and kind of smirked before saying, “You know, my Dad listens to Right wing radio, and he always says, ‘Oh, you academics and your indoctrination of communism when really we have nothing to do with that at all. We’re just glad you can write a paper.’”

And I responded, “Oh, I don’t need any help with indoctrination in regards to communism or Marxist theory.”

And he said in a very condescending voice, “Clearly, well, at least you’re well-versed in it. I suppose that counts for something.” 

And I retorted, “Oh, yeah, I’m far more well-versed and well-read on Marxist and leftist theory in general. Of course, I suppose it’s easy to just repudiate something you barely know about. That’s what we do in academia, right?” 

He kind of froze momentarily and went on with the lesson like I didn’t say a thing. Throughout the lesson, he tried to collect himself, but he continued to stutter and fumble over his words. 

I’m such an asshole, but I have no fucks to give. 

BOW DOWN

TO THE MIGHTY LORD KIQUE

HE HAS COME

WITH HIS WINE

AND HIS GAYNESS

AND COMMUNISM

AND HIS BEARNESS

TO LIBERATE ALL HUMENS

FROM THE CONFINES OF ACADEMIA

ALL HAIL TEH LORD KIQUE

Don’t mind me just enjoying some ass-kicking

BEYOND GODLIKE

We are, in Marx’s terms, “an ensemble of social relations” and we live our lives at the core of the intersection of a number of unequal social relations based on hierarchically interrelated structures which, together, define the historical specificity of the capitalist modes of production and reproduction and underlay their observable manifestations.

Hahaha! Nice one, Crusada! Where is this? And hello Steffi, why am I only following you now?

According to Brueghel
when Icarus fell
it was spring

a farmer was ploughing
his field
the whole pageantry

of the year was
awake tingling
near

the edge of the sea
concerned 
with itself

sweating in the sun
that melted
the wings' wax

unsignificantly
off the coast
there was

a splash quite unnoticed
this was
Icarus drowning

This painting. I remember this from a distant memory

We discussed this in class today.

You will never know how much this image means to me at this very second.
