In case anyone interested might have missed it, my piece on cursed images during a pandemic:
Never outright violent. Never depraved. Cursed images insinuate uncanny squalor. They suggest a decaying world in which your favorite mascots have all transformed into filthy, menacing, off-brand versions of themselves. Imagine a Polaroid-quality picture of someone lying seductively on a hotel bed while wearing a green Elmo costume. Mannequins floating facedown in a pond choked with scum. A dog’s face that looks almost human. A dirty toilet filled with frogs and cigarettes. Imagine Ralph Eugene Meatyard photos that look perfectly unstaged. Displaced objects thrum with an off-putting vitality and living things calcify into art objects.

There are things that scare us a lot and we need to be brave and we must have the guts to stop the unnecessary things that are happening inside our heads because there are no benefits from it. Time will come and we can be strong enough and we can have the little things that we want. This post is intended for all of the people who experienced those nightmares and they want to forget it. Time will heal everything so let us be patient and never lose that courage in our hearts.
