Have enough of our loved ones been absorbed by plague, war, and the general collapse of things for us to pose as a baroque painting? My witch said yes, so just think of all the pretty things we‘re gonna get now! Just like Emilie Autumn once sang about pretty dresses and hair when expecting to die soon – priorities!
So, for me it looks like I will wear my corset once more and my cheeks will be rose and my lips will be red and I will wear pearls between sculls rolling around. What more can I even ask for?
Oh, yea. Right. There‘s the thing with the loved once that, well, once have been and more and more are not anymore. Those in mass graves, and those otherwise absorbed by the horror of being alive right now, but hey! A few hundred years ago this also lead to people wanting to feel pretty and painting sculls into things to just not completely exclude death from everything. My witch can tell!

There‘s also another option.

„So, all of this is about avoiding to lose someone?“, the nice man in the nice blue shirt asked me recently. And I was avoiding eye contact with my therapist through my freshly blow dried, long red hair.
At least I feel pretty.
The latest Dystopia confusion – or what vaccines, glasses, and sunscreen suddenly have in common.
Confusion is one of the most important aspects of Dystopia. It’s this state of the world that keeps burning into the skin like a nervous flickering – and suddenly you’ve bought frog legs from the weirdo at the end of the road, while your neighbour was hanged for a miscarriage 20 years ago. Let’s name…
Keeping the connection – About taking the next step
I remember standing on the same field where I spent most of the past unnerving months. Listening to the same three accords throughout a song reminded me of time passing, of the feeling of spending time with people while doing something special together. Studying for an exam, rehearsing a song, going on a trip -…
