Blackout poetry exists on a dual axis from "banal" to "insightful" on the input side and "kind of deep" to "incredibly fucking dumb" on the output side, and while taking something banal and producing something kind of deep is well and fine, for my money taking something insightful and rendering it incredibly fucking dumb is where the real art is.

#i stuck the word 'banal' in there twice specifically so that 'anal' would be low hanging fruit#but i genuinely did not anticipate 'banana' --@prokopetz

Guess who? 🥰⁠

Say hello to the adorable arbiter snailfish (Careproctus kamikawai). Snailfishes are a diverse and thriving group of fishes with over 400 described species. Their pelvic fins are modified into suction cups that allow them to fasten onto rocks, corals, or even research equipment and hold on in strong currents.

Heated Rivalry fandom is not remotely unique to ‘breaking containment’ (e.g crossing boundaries with actors and other fans). I’ve been in fandoms for 15 years and every single one I’ve been in has had massive issues. HR just came at a time where social media is so hyper present that it’s way more visible.

And another thing! These issues aren’t specific to fandom and they aren’t caused by fandom!

Wanna know what they’re caused by? Erosion of privacy and autonomy by world governments trickling down into the public sphere! Tech companies encouraging self surveillance through social media like TikTok! Monetary incentives to film strangers for views at a time when employment and wages are shockingly low and people have to turn to ‘influencing’ and ‘content creation’. The normalisation of paparazzi!

I think I’m going crazy!!
