Welcome!
You found inchwyrm's blog! I like to talk about whatever's been on my mind lately, which usually means overthinking art, culture, and sometimes technology. Go ahead and take a peek!
If you'd like to discuss anything I've written (or just say hi), please email me at cobyzaby@gmail.com or leave a message in my guestbook.
The Inchwyrm special
My favorite posts:
- Lavender Media: Or, What Claude Cahun Means to Me - I talk about how the artist Claude Cahun, and to a lesser extent, Surrealism in general, helped me understand my queer identity
- Who am I? - I talk a bit about the philosophy of the self and why I prefer the idea of a "bodymind" to the separation of mind and body we typically see in Western philosophy
- Body horror: Freedom in the grotesque - I explain why body horror is my favorite subgenre of horror, and I give a couple recommendations to watch, if you're interested
- AI Art Part 2: It's actually kinda neat - The title is clickbait; I don't like AI art in its current state. But I wanted to express a more nuanced take on it, because I think that people who hate it do so without examining why. AI could make interesting art, I think. Ideally far in the future when it's less awful for the environment and is better-regulated by the law.
My most popular posts:
- You can't know why people like you. - reflecting on my struggles with social anxiety and being freed by the realization that, just as I can't know why people dislike me, I can't know why they like me, either
- I still think about that stranger - the story of how a very small gesture of kindness meant so much to me in a difficult time
