Ash | they/them | 20s

infp - australian - queer - white

I'm Ash, I live on unceded Kaurna land. I'm an academic studying mediated sociologies and histories of online culture, and a very sporadic writer of bad poetry. This blog is (in order) an escape from the online panopticon, a scrapbook of creative inspirations, and a personal art journal.I like weird movies and experimental books and amateur art and irreverent remix cultures and people cooler and more offbeat than myself, so tumblr is my home.

I am far more active on my other account: prophetmutual - my fandomy blog for various tv media and other fun cringey interests, primarily those of an intertextual or horror bent.Other thought-repositories:
LETTERBOXD | STORYGRAPH | GOODREADS

Basic Tag List

art | poetry | literature | the stage | photography | filmswriting advice (cannot believe anyone ever asked me for this, but anyway) | references (resources, rec lists etc)personal: about | my poetry

Themes that compel me:

the trembling self (the self/identity/loneliness)
I was born hungry
grace covers us all (faith, religion, spirituality)
flesh and bone
nature becomes us (the natural world as our home)
a creeping apocalypse (climate grief/anxiety)
the sea has come up over babylon
poetics of space (man made physical places, and the emotions they evoke)
the world begins at a kitchen table
A home is a mouth / family is hell
like a religion (on love and devotion)
haunt me then (on grief and memory)
humanity as art (things that invoke a tenderness in my heart for my fellow man)
