It is equally important to watch Mishima's short film 'Yūkoku' as it is to read his novels

In an attempt to mitigate the influx of death threats I received this morning, allow me to clarify that I do not correspond to the poster identified as 'salosymposium' in this screenshot. I am a 16 years old Guatemalan living in Egypt, studying to become a social worker.

One time in Greece, a man approached me asking for a cigarette. He was broad with a strong aquiline nose so I asked him if he lifts weights, he told me “…training is for Westerners” and proceeded to explain he grew muscle from “intensive pacifist exercises”

I don't differentiate between artists who turn their lives into a work of art and those who produce artworks throughout their lifetime. The Greeks understood that a life itself can be a masterpiece, a notion we seem to have entirely overlooked…

Schrader, Lucas, and Coppola quote tweeted the entire body of Mishima’s work and made a genuine work of art. Mishima himself never produced anything of value; everything was just a rehearsal—always “getting ready to make real art”—complete and utter inaction.

He proceeded to tell me stories of fighting fisherman by snatching their line when they caught a fish, and even went as far as suggesting he would lay out trays of flour for ants and place moist biscuits on roofs for birds

In the northern Peruvian Andes, the cordillera rises to an altitude of ten thousand feet over a span of approximately three hundred miles. In the heart of Santiago de Chuco, within the Department of La Libertad, that is where I post.

Mishima’s aim was to provide an image, shape, intensity to things without the necessity of classification — artists are held hostage by ‘identification’ and it’s at that moment you’ve lost it

@soitgarde @keywestpres Tweeted that in a state of psychosis, having been misdiagnosed with a brain-eating amoeba when I had syphilis. I was prescribed antibiotics and began hallucinating. Don’t appreciate the blatant ableism directed at a moment of vulnerability, and I demand Keywest issue an apology

Night was spent surveying the bodies of pedestrians for erotic potential. A younger woman, slightly rousing from her slumber, scratches her crotch as she yawns. Another woman speaks on the phone, interrupting her conversation with smiles that eclipse the melancholy commute.

In New York and confused abt the obsession with asemic writing & ‘filmmaking’. The prefix suggests a negation, but asemic writing is not a writing without signs but a writing with so many signs that it electively mutes itself — a ‘text that knows itself’

Same applies with their films, how about the temerity to genuinely create a “scene”? Why stop at the threshold of the artificial? What occurs instead is a reduction to cataloguing, organizing, ordering sememe

After 5 years of living abroad, I came back to my hometown and planned to surprise my high school sweetheart by breaking into her house and putting on her clothes. As she arrived, I jumped out of her closet and began performing Maria Callas’ arias in minstrel fashion

@soitgarde True, one time in a lower Swiss canton I met an “anonymous far-right intellectual” who was allegedly crucial for Meloni in northern Italy. With him, a copy of Agamben’s Profanations. It’s too early to be concerned with the genealogy of these “artists”, let’s see what they produce

@J0N_T0D People who take their sophistries too literally for practical aims can become something absurd. This is either tragic or beautiful, sometimes both simultaneously. Associating Mishima with "inaction" is a fatally flawed aspect in your thinking

@candy__warhoI When I was 19 I spent a week hospitalized for epilepsy. I was taken care of by a neurosci grad and our relationship was remotely erotic. Unwittingly all of her romantic gestures were promoting my sense of chastisement, I was immobile, and fantasized doing chin-ups in front of her
