Steve Messam
Steve Messam is an environmental artist based in County Durham, UK and working internationally. His ephemeral site-specific installations re-imagine the everyday, interrupting historical landscapes and vacant architecture to help us perceive the familiar environment in a new way.
I like to start the day with humor...
This is the mantra of the selfish, the self-titled and oh-so-wrong! "Anarchists"...
It's never about 'ONLY YOU'.
Can you imagine if all 8 billion of the people on this planet held that belief? An entirety of humanity would rush toward entropy and destructible if that was the all-encompassing philosophy...

I do feel this so vehemently, but I also want to point out that the greater part of defeating that dread disease is faith, fellowship, and mindset. Manifestation isn't just for financial gain. It can also get you some time back to enjoy the ones you love THAT much longer.
Peace and prosperity, to all.
Amen!
Only a sick bastard wouldn’t reblog this.
If I were inclined to wage a pointless war with someone given over to vast, sweeping generalizations, I would have to counter the OP, by asking: Does capitalism truly suck, or is it more that your grasp of that system and your aptitude for creating income and wealth suck?
I'm thinking it's the latter. Its archetypal of this site's population...
Sorry to all the BO$$ BABES out there but working sucks, money worship sucks, capitalism sucks, online influencing sucks.
See? The barter system is truly universal.
I HAVE to enter into economic relations with a tufted squirrel. It's an imperative!

Stunningly beautiful, and a tribute to the glory of nature and God's design are mosses. What a lovely concept: moss lawns. I think I feel a new botanical obsession stealing upon me...
Okay so we all agree, lawns suck are outdated and useless relics introduced by the French Monarchy to flex on everyone else, but have we considered:
Moss Lawns 😄
Massively photosynthetic- produce loads of oxygen
Doesn’t require fertilising- ever! Mosses actually prefer low nutrient soil!
Doesn’t require mowing! Mosses are non vascular so they never grow tall enough to need mowing
Low maintainance- see above
Improving the air quality around you- mosses can metabolise and absorb a variety of airborn pollutants!
Massively improving your home’s Cottagecore and fairytale vibes, I mean look at it it’s beautiful
Looking online I’ve learned that this is a thing! And it’s actually been popular in Japan for hundreds of years!
That makes me really happy actually because if you know me you’ll know I love moss, not only is it cool af but 12 square metres of moss lawn can apparently absorb as much carbon as 275 mature trees. Stunning and brave.
As we all know it’s much easier to work with nature than against it, we’re all busy and tired and maybe… maybe just let the moss have this one? It’s beautiful.
Lunatic Poetry was the order of the past few nights:
4/⁰3/²0²2:
"Sometimes I just can't..."
Charcoal dawn, purple sunset
Beautiful and distracting, dizzying...
When I should sleep I know not
All I can think of is where you are...
My compass is broken,
the magnetism tuned to foreign poles...
So I'll wander about until you whisper...
Then I'll be whole...
...I hope...
A stream of silver clouds now, above, carrying a question: Is this your game, or is it mine?
Answer: I won't know until you kiss me that one last time...
Another: Which of us owns the other, I wonder...
You reply: the memory of your smile... and I begin swimming again... or drowning... not sure which...
Autonomic reflex embroiled in a battle with the hunger of a starving heart...
I live this battle every second,
To the point that it defines me...
My heroin...
I scream, long and silent:
Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you....
Then, in supplication: please fuck me just one more time...
... for old time's sake...
Please...
...
It's crude, but then, again, love is brutal and rapacious...as is my appetite for every atom of you...
[Note: I don't know what it all means. I was held captive by the crashing words and could do little else but grip the pen with a shaking hand and tears in my eyes. I swear I wasn't inebriated in that time of writing, but I can't swear that I was sane. Still, it stirs something in me to know it issued forth from some part of me, a part I thought maybe dead, but at least dormant for the past five or six years. It felt good to pour out verse. And I knew I had to share it...
Thank you for indulging me by reading this.
Closing note: I think I may have been possessed by the ghost of Charles Bukowski, now that I think of it...]

There couldn't possibly be any way a virus could be transmitted through an act of spreading one's legs, could there? Perish the thought...
I have a discussion place in the Loathing lobe of my brain for people who come up with garbage like this...
I've decided to emulate the scores of socially upright people on this site and declare that o want other people to sustain my hedonism and pay my bills. I am vehemently casting aside all semblance of personal responsibility for my life and wholly expect everyone else to foot my bills. I will further promise to draw and weakly color anemic art that sorta, kinda addresses members of my audience's plights, but only if you give me that which I'm unwilling to genuinely earn through work and perseverance. C'mon, support a leech...
