You have such an extensive knowledge of art & literature! May i ask you where it is you learnt so much from? And what are some of your favoriete sources to continue gathering knowledge or find Posts in general? Thanks

Oh god. The honest answer is that I spent a lot of my adolescence and early twenties maintaining complicated  interpersonal relationships and indulging my own self-destructive frenzies. Then, in 2015, I went to graduate school in a new state, developed really fucked up insomnia, and entered a state of self-imposed and much needed hermitude during which I found some type of silver lining in the agony of chronic sleeplessness by using the extra hours to scour the internet and the library for things which peaked my fancy. It’s hard for me to direct people to places to find the sort of content that I post, because it is pretty sprawling. I would suggest checking the sources on my posts and my previous blog recommendations under my ask and asks tags. For full length manuscripts available (illegally) for free online, you should check out Libgen. You can find a ton of the books I reference on there. For tight contemporary lit/art journals I love Jacket2, at Length, Conjunctions, Triquarterly, Guernica, Diagram, Paperbag zine, and Bomb. Entropy is also an awesome resource. Find galleries you like and hit up their websites. There are way too many for me to mention here …some galleries who host pretty obvious artists but have amazing online reproductions are Hauser & Wirth, Alison Jacques and Luhring Augustine. Type in artists you like on google with pdf after their names or thesis plus pdf to find esoteric images of their work. I dunno. If you have some more specific subjects you are interested in let me know and I will try to get back to you with links/recs. 

tfw you find out that your look has been and will always be creepy hyper-realistic Russian doll.

have you heard or read about sheela na gigs? i feel like they’d be something that might interest you!

No, I haven’t, aside from the occasional mention in some sprawling research I have been doing on James Joyce for the last year (when thinking about the role of the sacred feminine in late colonial/semicolonial/postcolonial/pick your term here Irish nationalist movements). But I am looking right now and they are awesome! Also: now I understand a PJ Harvey song much better. Thanks!
