when did the Tan Mom become a gay icon? Also what the fuck is this?

As is typical of the American media’s tendency to completely ignore artistic movements outside of a the few pre-approved urban arts meccas, few people seem to be aware of Patricia Krentcil’s early involvement in Essex County, New Jersey’s provocative but often overlooked radical ’80s art scene. Thus they apparently fail to realize that Krentcil’s current micro-frame is one of the most important American artistic projects of the century so far. 

Apparently content with the statement she’s made about tabloid, cable news and human-as-unintended-meme culture, in her latest work Krentcil moves on to attack the very notion of female singer as “gay icon” in the first place. Clearly she’s making some provocative statements about the modern “gay icon’s” tendency to champion social causes just to enhance their own image (“I’ve got a message to use protection form the sun. Ha, ha, ha, ha!”), the stirring of drama with perceived rivals for publicity purposes (the calling out of Tan Mom and Octomom), using queer bodies merely as props while mainstreaming gay culture, embracing high impact visuals and dramatic costume changes as a way to call away attention from the lack of quality in both the performer’s voice and song writing, apparent meaningless mix of religion imagery with sexuality (the wall full of crucifixes seen behind her as her breasts are groped), and instance that they are “cool” without offering anything new of quality to culture but rather just appropriating the works of others. And that’s just the top of the iceberg. I think I could watch this video a hundred times and still not pick up on all the nuanced layers of meaning here. 

Hell storm

Opalized wood. Petrified wood is basically fossilized wood that has had it’s organic matter replaced by a mineral such as agate, bit by bit, as it decomposes. The wood structure is maintained, but the wood fibers are slowly changed into stone. Sometimes a jasper, quartz, pyrite or even opal(shown above) can be found fossilized in wood.

petrified wood is the state gem of washington even though it’s technically a fossil

CHUMBAWAMBA BELONGS TO MEEEEEEE YOU CAN’T HAVE ITTTTTT

BECAUSE I LIVE IN OHIO AND AM A CHILDDDDDDD

You all are heterosexuals who will eventually drop the QUEER bullshit. I cannot wait for you all to leave actual gay people the fuck alone.

Your teenage rebellion lifestyle bullshit is not life.

Hahaha, how desperate is Cathy that she’s browsing through the literal archives of my partner’s blog to find some photos of her?

Cathy, ageism isn’t cool. You’re really backwards about your ageism too, it’s weird. With one hand you accuse us of being pro-pedophilia (We’re not, but we’ve already covered that it’s way cool to accuse survivors of childhood assault of condoning it or being for it), while with the other hand you call the parents of minors and out these kids to their parents fully knowing that many queer and trans children are in fact abused or neglected, you post minors’ information on the internet, and call people who disagree with you a “child” or children. I could point out that in fact maybe it’s you who are a proponent of abusing children, since you seem so eager and gleeful to out youths and teens to their parents.

I’ve already covered the sheer hypocrisy of your “I am a gender atheist but I am going to rigidly enforce the genders of trans people” stance, I don’t really know what else to say besides “When do you actually find time to be a lawyer?” Or wait maybe “If being a ‘child’ means people such as you find me distasteful and unlikeable, I’ll be a child, happily.”

Just “actual gay people” hahahaha.

HI CATHY BRENNAN HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY CUTE PHOTOS!!!!!
