#escapism

2 posts2 participants0 posts today

The best kind of #escapism, had our third -and final - DnD weekend, playing since Friday evening 7pm until 2pm on Sunday. Was so close, I ended up being petrified ten min before the final boss was defeated, the last that was seen of me was an immobile statue in a collapsing cave when everyone else ran to safety. One of the best ways to spend a weekend and no screens. Now I can think of how to survive the week ahead.

10pm. More or less. An early summer night it seems. Scent of cigarettes and concrete cooling down. Clarinet practise somewhere nearby. Evening broadcast on screens of various sizes, coloured green, blue, yellow. An inbound notification on a balcony, ubiquitous sounds in a homogeneous world. Thin veil of clouds to hide the void. Be safe on your way into the morning, wherever you are.

Kurze Abwesenheiten. Sonnenschirm und Himmel über den Augen, langsam verschwimmend. Das Summen von Insekten, verschiedene Themen im verschiedenen Parzellen und Sprachen. Und dann kommen die Stimmen immer näher und winden sich in unstete Bilder und ein Tor quietscht und man wacht wieder auf, eine kurze Ewigkeit später und mit schnellem Puls in Hals und Schläfen. Wind durch die Katzenminze. Das Schrittmaß ruhiger Nachmittage.

@dazo Couldn't agree more Compensation and projection seem to be hallmark traits for #MAGATs They are a natural and expected logical development of a #USCulture of #Fantasy #Escapism and #Denial It's #USPolitics #USReligion it's a sick culture Why else would most in the US chose to travel to stand in line and pay for overpriced food and tickets to see a #FantasyMouse and #FantasyPrincess when they could travel to see #Art #History #Music #Theatre: the #Foundation of the World and #Reality

Giambattista Tiepolo
An Allegory with Venus and Time
1754-58
Oil on canvas, 292 x 190 cm
National Gallery, London

One of my favourite pictures from London's National Gallery. I confess I often hold this picture in my mind's eye as a form of escapism -- an escape from strip malls, bloated SUVs, megachurches with fundamentalist PowerPoints punctuated by bad rock and extempore prayer, cargo pants,
presidential make up, the Hobby Lobby...
