"ART"

Now, it may not yet appear so but this is a work of art - now..

perfart

As only one curator or whatever she was of it at last kindof 'get's that even when asked "are you an artist"

"no"

I disagree i can see a real artist in you.."

" yes you are right" 

Aparet from being right i also know a miracle when a British female of the species doesnt automatically argue as a default setting.

ooh that's a popular page, here 

and in real life which for me has been for two decades an extension, when NOT being a 100% on duty parent - meaning not that we had mobile phone signal lass and I up in the hills, had we it would have been OFF, always... when she was living equally with me, an extension in my free time not being ripped off by employers who pretended they wished their gates fixed and fences built in the REAL hills of E Wales ..into attempting to say or even photojournalise real things, about real society on behalf of the many damaged by it who don't have my bounce...as i have always had bounce..

Live from the top of the very underwhelming Dartmoor, no offence to the suburb that is the SW but i lived most of the previous to 2023   30 years  up real hills trhat are also lonely and nowhere which is so so good for you - being nobody nowhere..

And in such places one learns to stick all of everywhere into perspective.

One thing being nobody really cares about the state so torturing parents such that Ai Weiwei would appreciate Helena Kennedy should shut the fuck up with her on Monday last " we should censor some speech" 

When on 19th January    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002q2qm [vpn required wiscribe great if outside uk] even the rather dubious Gove  with no qualifier or nuance says " we now have the GROTESQUE situation that venture capital money profits from children being taken into 'care' [wrongly,  as he well knows as Cameron did and Gove was big bumchums still is one can be sure] .."

Anyway these pages sorry big job to scroll back 3 years ago - feature commentary on how the superb film Listen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listen_(2020_film)  apart from featuring great acting by the only filmstar woman i have ever fancied bigtime and she ignored my imploring her to collaborate on maybe a book or the like woe is me... because she also clearly has a super REAL mind... 

Is art and truth. Ive been in those rooms seeing parents tortured precisely as Ana so brilliantly portrayed..

And yes we need 'art' about all that HOWever....

As riffed upon here a year or so ago (a post called  "this is england" or it may be on Ralph) sadly they are about 15 years too late or at least ten...

Because as a still occasional lay legal operative advising parents in the hell of that movie unfortunately and i dont use 'labels' as i know how the state terrorises fairly sane parents with them... 

Almost everyone does have BPD...  they can no longer rationally connect the actions so so lovingly laid out in front of them by me at great length kindly and empathetically.. to REMEDY their situation, to the fact they must with people like me holding their hands, DO the steps to remedy the situation and merely have become some bizarre VERY assiduous communicator OF the injustices they have befallen, and even 'activist' against these injustices... and very intelligently recite long stretches of the files with the case against them...on their PHONE to me or people like me or even in person for free not even a sarnie offered to rendez vous with them and listen for hours... (despite them having much nicer clothes  than i and often very expensive tattoos when i can't even afford a haircut so have left it for decades - rather focusing on using my meagre income on REAL life - assisting them ) 

In short yes Matthewsitis did gradually roll over so much of the land..

And it fatal.

To society at large and especially the kids - if not yours they will have friends brought up in a very BPD household and it can't be cured.

The day it began...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidnapping_of_Shannon_Matthews 

Anyway now for several years i riff but VERY purposefully to rev myself up for all that i knew 5 years ago matters, to just maybe with some artfulness say SOMETHING useful about not only child matters but my equal concerns the environment (and at root of all DIRE modern day journalism) 

And at last as well of thousands of readers the last year often 4000 a day,  at

https://www.ralphschism.com/

some even put their hands in their pocket and cough up cash for my huge always free offering of artful riffing, 'gonzo' journalism - which isn't if one has a mind one knows i am being two dimensional and my words are deadly serious...even if dressed up in performance art

https://www.ralphschism.com/p/funding.html

The real 'art' is i loved it when for years no bugger coughed up into 

Anyway so much of 'this' meaning the real stories behind this ..

actually are woven into the huge monolithic Proust on no drugs as i never even drink  - pure in the 'zone' creative waffle ... thousands of pages some even ok poems all 100% spontaneous

https://www.ralphschism.com/2025/10/nowthere-is-sequence.html

me and Chapman

https://www.ralphschism.com/2024/09/the-artist.html

and actually not 'me' by which i mean not the 'real' me though not any  performace alter ego either - the real 'ART' is pumping onself up top say SOMEthing be it in person or on the page, when one is a VERY quiet reserved part hermit all ones life...

BUt even hermits aint thick when they encounter so many saying NOTHING..

artful or real...so let go and  give the greatest gift of all - be someone not oneself to attempt to make a higher than the 'self' fuckin point!

Nobody does..i know as i have meandered 5 years seeking just one who may

plus  - far more my 'self' 

https://ralphschism.substack.com/

Plus https://landlope.com/ a kindof simpler real self

All soon - but so many hundreds of pages and many absurdist video clips all quite sane and philosophical...

needs to be woven back together into one big comfy blanket

it works i have never been as CNTRED and happy...always....come what may

The only thing i am unhappy about is having 100% 'let go' in an attempt to let inner new creativity soar a tad knowing a few collaborators would be good...i have spent at least 1000 hrs face to face with several potentials and every single one is a pseud who fakes their interest in even art...

i was planning to develop https://www.pseudeia.com/ more stand-alone poetically, a bit Homer like...

but havent had the battery time, yet... as that's what it was created for 10 years ago.. 

Nothing has changed at all in fact only got worse

(why the environment is buggered)

But what has really got even worse is even artists no longer know " Grayson Perry said he made by FAR the most cash in his whole dull career selling an exhibition of his art taunting HIS OWN rich customers...  so lets make art on how the rich utterly screw the environment THEY largely own thats where the CASH is nothing new under the sun the rich  used to pay painters to stab them in the neck via a good painting 500 years ago for gods sake!"

is artful ...and worth a go...

ALL artists i ever meet are meek conformist cowardly custards..

shame as i know for even more certain there really IS money in very jabby art - blaming Banksy for failing to REALLY motivate anyone to do any REAL eco martyrdom - which isnt as each one of us cutting WAY back on our overuse of xenobiotics (see ralph and asil my guest posts there is infact freedom and makes the cutter back feel great over time...art about that too would be good! nobody dares bother to try.. anyway i have 2 decades of fabulous archive chronicle that needs turning into simpler art for the simple 1 dimensional minds it seems we have nowadays by default unless someone proves me wrong...none of even my artists friends dare do...as they are so ridiculously conformist even my bestie a revolutionary fabulous brown babe  was there on marches pro Pally but dare NOT say in her art which she says to me frequently and quite articulately that our society ids one hundred percent one dimensional and the only time it ever goes 2d is when YOUR self made cages are wobbled off the dull shelf and you bounce....... but you never leave them i know i have all my life been a very very photographer's-eye, people watcher...i see no tits out backs straight and march on ever anywhere, merely shuffling, nowhere... and that's the pretty ones!)
