The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost; for none now live who remember it.

Oh you’re in for a treat becuase the Salt Of The Week Is:
POMO PERFORMANCE ART
Its soulless garbage that purports to have deep meaning but does not, there is no deeper meaning to a woman dropping paint filled eggs out her coochie or shoveling spaghetti-o’s into her coochie (lot of Performance Art from women revolves around stuffing gross objects up into the pussy because performance artists are disgusting animals), it’s shock art and has no value and less beauty. Screaming butt naked in the middle of a crowded area isn’t art just because you’re an upper middle class 20 something hipster motherfucker if you were homeless or old it would be an instant trip to the psych ward you stupid, useless drain on society.
PoMo as a concept is a cancer and it kills culture. No, your “Trash Strewn On Floor” ‘installation’ is not a sculpture or an art piece, its GARBAGE, literally garbage, I’m throwing it away bitch! It’s going in the trash can!
But as bad as such horrible wastes of time as things like the trash exhibit are, Performance Pieces are infinitely worse.
I can’t link to the shit thanks to tumblr being garbage, but here’s a list of some of the worst Performance ‘’’’Art‘’’’’ shit of all time which i will not be “crediting” because it’s not art, its a study in perversion and the need of perverts to foist their sexual deviance on the populace
– Birth of Baby X, in which a woman gave birth in an art gallery and is putting her son’s entire life on display as part of her performance art for the rest of her life, virtually assuring he will abandon her in an nursing home and flee to another country at the first opportunity
– Shrapnel, in which a guy cut off his foreskin live on stage with a dull swiss army knife and then stuffed the cut flesh into a glory hole
– Art School Stole My Virginity, where a man claimed he would have anonymous gay sex on stage in a gallery but when you get there he asks you to put a banana in his mouth and then acted like you’re the asshole for thinking when he specifically said “anonymous gay sex” he literally meant he was gonna take a dick from a stranger and not “ask members of the audience to stick a banana in his mouth”, something I could rant about for hours because this fucker was genuinely offended that people showed up expecting to see him do what he said he was gonna do and were unamused with his antics. Look, look what he said about this:
““I think if people were expecting something else, it shows what they really wanted,” the artist told Dazed Digital. “They didn’t want an art piece, they wanted to see me have sex. If they came for the art, they wouldn’t be as disappointed — they’d know there were things to read between the lines for.”“ LITERALLY NO ONE COULD HAVE PREDICTED YOU WOULD DO SOMETHING ELSE GIVEN YOU SAID ON NATIONAL TV YOU WERE GONNA FUCK ON STAGE, and you’re right, they didn’t come for the art, because it’s not art! You’re just a fucking pervert and 120 other fucking perverts showed up to see you get cornholed! Shocker!
– Casting Off My Womb, one of those insane women putting shit up her pussy again, this time white wool thread, which she knitted with, slowly unraveling it from her vag over the course of a month or so, yes including during her period because PoMo Performance Art women are fucking gross for no goddamn reason, they’re just nasty
– Mirror Of Origin, in which a woman sat in front of a painting of a vagina and showed everyone who came by her pussy including children, because again, performance artists are perverted scumbags who use this shit as an excuse to do disgussting fetish shit and get applauded for it
– an untitled work in which a man ate what appeared to be a human fetus to see how people would feel about it. Unsurprisingly, people were against cannibalism.
– another untitled piece in which a woman repeatedly obtained sperm, artificially inseminated herself, got pregnant and then induced miscarriages a month in and saved the blood, because yet again performance artists are gross and terrible people for no fucking reason
So yeah the takeaway from this is that given the opportunity, I would kill a performance artist.
Artist Arvalis has been drawing realistic Pokemon for over 6 years and that work led him to a job as a creature designer on Detective Pikachu. He was hired after the movie’s production designer did a google search for “realistic pokemon” and his page popped up.
I really think hospitals and doctors that work with pregnancy and pediatricians need to make more literature available for how to, ya know, work with kids? Because the more conversations we have about spanking (and how it’s ineffective and harmful and does more bad than good), the more I realize that a lot of people don’t know the alternatives. Or like, anything about child development or where misbehavior stems from.
So, as someone who went through childhood development classes in college, works with kids for a living, and knows multiple people who specialized in childhood education, here are some pointers when you are working with kids:
1. Model emotional response for kids. Children are learning how to recognize and respond to their own emotions. All the way up through high school, children’s brains are still developing, and the emotions they are learning to process become more complex. So with really young kids, the easiest way to help them with this is to model emotional self awareness and self care.
“Oh wow, mommy is feeling angry because the cat made a mess. I’m going to clean this mess and then go sit in my room in the quiet for a short break so I feel better.”
“You know, I am feeling very sad about not going to the park because it is raining. I bet some hot chocolate and a book would make me feel better.”
”Huh, I’m feeling kind of cranky and hungry, but daddy won’t be home for dinner for another hour. I bet I’ll feel better if I eat a little piece apple while we wait.”
2. Understand what causes child frustration and work to preempt it.
-Transitions (from one activity to another, getting in the car, etc) can be stressful, especially if the activity or location they are leaving is fun. Give kids a warning when this is going to happen. With young kids, give them about 5-15 minutes of warning (”10 minutes until we are going to leave the park and go home. Do your last thing.”), with older kids, just give them a time frame. (We are can play at McDonalds for 30 minutes, but then we have to go grocery shopping, ok?)
Not being able to communicate what they want to is frustrating. Babies can learn simplified baby sign language months before they are verbal. Kids may not know the words for what they are trying to say. Be patient and help them find the right words. On a similar note, don’t ignore kids. If you really can’t respond to their question right away because of something else, at least tell the “Yes, I heard your question. I’ll answer you as soon as I’m done talking on the phone.”
Not being able to make choices or having too much choice can be overwhelming. Give kids a limited, reasonable selection of choices. “Do you want apple slices or juicy pears on the side for lunch?” is much better than “What do you want with your sandwich?” or just giving them apple slices. “Do you want to give grandpa a hug or a high five?” is better than demanding they hug grandpa right away.
3. Understand that kids are people to. They will get hungry, tired, an annoyed just like adults do. Sometimes you have to be flexible and give them time to self care. Talk to them, explain things to them, let them be people and not just dolls. “Because I said so” is really unhelpful for a growing kid. “We can’t buy Fruit Loops today because we are already getting Frosted Flakes. We only need one cereal at a time.” is going to do you a lot more favors. “Don’t pick up the glass snow globe. It belongs to grandma and can break easy. She would be sad if we broke it on accident.” is better than “don’t touch that.”
And look, no parent is perfect. No baby sitter, no teacher, no care taker is going to be awesome all the time. And no kid is going to be perfect. They will cry and have tantrums, and not be able to tell you what they need, and be stubborn sometimes. Sometimes they need space, or quiet time. Sometimes they need attention and validation.
But kids learn from every interaction they have, so adults need to make the effort to show all the love, and patience, and empathy, and thoughtfulness we want them to learn.
This is really helpful. Not just for parents but even for anyone interacting with kids. I have a tough time communicating effectively with people my own age. And kids are a whole different ballgame.
