New bullshit term: Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly. AKA Your ultra expensive rocket that took years of concentrated work and bucks to build, just exploded.

Just FYI:
An Interrobang is a punctuation mark ( ‽ ) indicating a question expressed in an exclamatory way, a combination of ? and !
An interrobang is useful in any reply you might have to something Maggot Trailer Greene or her little buddy Boobert might say. Fer instance, a common response to their utterance might be:
Do you actually believe the blithering shit you’re spewing or do you think you’re just doing a bang up job of grifting the rubes ‽
I do believe that a proper interrobang should look like Space Karen’s Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly rocket though.

I saw this sentiment online yesterday:
If I was really, really ridiculously wealthy I wouldn’t buy a mansion, just tiny apartments in every city I love.Sure that sounds romantic and cool and dreamy and shit BUT the reality would be pretty annoying.
- Did I leave my good scissors in Berlin or Reykjavik?
- Is my purple Buddha t-shirt here or in Portree?
- Will the Ekoplaza Foodmarqt in Amsterdam have Cake’s favorite food?
- Can I easily get to Restaurante Shanghái in Siena—I have a sushi and tempura craving. Do they deliver?

And yet, it exists. The miasma of soupy agitata and fear covers me like an itchy wool blanket.
Why…yes, I do have a two hour MRI scheduled for tomorrow. Granted, it’s a open MRI so I’ll feel slightly less stratospherically claustrophobic (yea). Perhaps the TWO hour MRI marathon jitters are keeping my results edginess at bay. Will I need immediate brain surgery? Spine too maybe? I’ll find out on Thursday.
In an effort to calm my bean and get some sleep, I had to take not one but TWO gummies before I could drift off to La La Land last night. Today it’s too stormy out to walk so I’ll need to elliptical off the rest of this tension…and have another gummy.

Few nations have been so poor as to have but one god. Gods were made so easily, and the raw material cost so little, that generally the god market was fairly glutted and heaven crammed with these phantoms.
~ Robert Green Ingersoll
The more gods/goddesses the better. It’s a fuckton more democratic and that’s just for starters.
My own personal god/goddess is Bast(et). Bastet was, amongst other things, the goddess of protection against contagious diseases and evil spirits. In this time of COVID (YES, it’s still with us), gun whackos and MAGAts, the least I can do is build an altar and lay daily tribute treats at her feet.
These symbols can represent beauty, femininity, self-reflection, or the complexities of love and relationships. Through these visual metaphors, the artist invites viewers to delve into the hidden layers of the paintings and unravel their personal interpretations.

Overall, The Love Witch paintings by Anna Biller are a captivating blend of visual storytelling, symbolism, and social commentary.

Reviews for "The Enthralling Love Stories in Witch Paintings"
1. Samantha - 2 out of 5 stars
I found The Love Witch paintings to be overly simplistic and lacking in depth. The use of bright, bold colors felt garish and amateurish. The brushwork was clumsy and lacked finesse. Overall, the paintings failed to evoke any emotional response from me. I was left feeling underwhelmed and disappointed, expecting more from a renowned artist like The Love Witch.
2. Michael - 2.5 out of 5 stars
While I appreciate the unique style and vision behind The Love Witch paintings, I found them to be too repetitive and monotone. The subject matter, primarily focusing on love and romance, felt cliché and uninspiring. Additionally, the use of heavy symbolism was heavy-handed and at times, bordering on trite. I can understand the appeal for some, but personally, I was hoping for more variety and complexity in the artwork.
3. Lisa - 1 out of 5 stars
I cannot understand the hype surrounding The Love Witch paintings. To me, they are nothing more than glorified doodles. The lack of technical skill is evident in the sloppy brushwork and uneven composition. The artist's attempt at capturing emotions and themes fell flat, as the paintings lacked any depth or subtlety. I found the entire collection to be a complete waste of time and money.
4. John - 2 out of 5 stars
I'm sorry, but I just don't get The Love Witch paintings. The artist's use of bold colors and exaggerated proportions felt exaggerated to the point of absurdity. The composition was chaotic and confusing, leaving me perplexed rather than intrigued. I appreciate the intention behind the artwork and the exploration of love, but the execution was simply not to my taste. I struggled to connect with the paintings on any meaningful level.
5. Emily - 2.5 out of 5 stars
Although some may find The Love Witch paintings to be enchanting, I personally found them to be too over-the-top and gimmicky for my liking. The heavy use of surreal imagery and exaggerated symbolism felt forced and contrived. The artist's attempt to evoke emotions through their paintings felt disingenuous, lacking the authenticity that I look for in artwork. While I can understand the appeal for some, it just didn't resonate with me.
