Aron-goes-bad – May 13, 2026
If you are a “victim” of some sort of financial difficulty, I am sorry, but I am not a loan service, don’t ask me to help you out. Unless we are in a in personal relationship, I can not help you- look towards your friends and family. Even if you are cute and have a fuckable ass- I feel badly for you, but I am not a loan service. I am a nice guy, but your trade off does not make sense. In other words, my “bullshit filter” is working very well, I am not an easy mark, so save yourself the trouble, you worthless piece of crap!!!

Unique opportunity to fuck a totally straight teen.

Next up: Longbeach CA
April 16, 17, 18

I am his Mentor.

I set up and confirm availability and it will be waiting naked and compliant to be used as your fuck-toy for the night.

He usually has a small window of time on thur/fri/sat nights, usually 8-11pm.
Message interest to me and if I decide you’re a good connection, I’ll confirm when he is available.

No chat, no conversations. Just show up, pleasure yourself with the toy and leave. He won’t react or say no.

No women…because he would enjoy that. and this isn’t about it’s enjoyment. Though I would love it if a woman could come and watch him being fucked by a man.

He doesn’t have a sense of humor. Like literally none.

DontForgetMe – April 18, 2026
He’s got nothing to do with being straight; the guy’s an impotent passive gay boy from Miami. He’s a friend of fat guys and even disgusting; he’ll put up with anything, but he can’t get hard. Not at all! The first proof he’s gay is that he’s impotent; guys who aren’t gay can get hard about anything, logically. He is undoubtedly and demonstrably a passive gay with erectile dysfunction at the age of just 19. A total loser and a passive gay through and through. But he’s full of old, gay friends. Absolutely disgusting: an impotent, passive gay boy posing as straight when he’s full-on gay.

RyanMann – April 18, 2026
At one point he looked up at me and said, I need to escape my shit life.

mysteriousblob – April 17, 2026
I gave him an insane fuck in his hotel room, so much so that smoke started filling the room from the steamy intensity of the action! For this reason, you may want to prepare a fire extinguisher prior to meeting this escort. Additionally, you might check if the hotel bed is really firm and solid bed as the one we used broke and collapsed.

The older you get the more you understand your role in life.

I definitely realized that I have a big cock.

It all started with my first webcam. I was so excited to turn on my computer and finally have a chance to virtually meet some cute girls.
But somehow I always ended up with men asking me to jack it, watch ladies suck it, offering crazy money to take their place.

I took one of them up on that and started to love it.

I have a girlfriend but unfortunately she doesn’t like all of this.

So I am drunk and horny literally 24/7.

He wanted to pay his rent, and I wanted his ass. His rent is expensive so his ass had to work hard. He didn’t like it, and I didn’t like paying that much for an ass. But by working together, we got the respective jobs done.

Antoine1831000 – May 9, 2026
The designations escort and client represent a mindset where we can shed the barriers that divide us and reconnect with our primal origins while still harnessing our ability to think critically and make wise choices. These qualities empower us to create extraordinary things simply by co-existing. Anything is achievable when we work for it, and the value of our efforts has a price but is priceless.

It’s disheartening to encounter escorts like this one who thinks he knows it all. Escorting without the intent to improve each client is senseless. I believe it’s essential for an escort to focus on what he can give to others, prioritizing their happiness over his own expectations, which in context are essentially distractions.

Additionally, when standing naked before a client, it’s courteous to ask if the client sees anything he needs. This simple gesture shows appreciation for the invitation and acknowledges the generosity of being welcomed into another’s financial output.

p.s. Hey. ** Adem Berbic, Hey. That’s pretty unfounded indeed. It’s nothing like that in my experience. Holland and Denmark being somewhat close together doesn’t make them any more alike than, oh, France and Spain. Mm, that book seems like it could find favor in any number of big (or small) cities. Maybe you’re presupposing what effect it has on whoever is drawn to it? Or who the audience is for coffee table books? Maybe you’re being a little crotchety? I haven’t seen the book though, obviously, so what do I know? ** _Black_Acrylic, Never knew about Mitsubishi. I wonder why it got that name? I’m not sure if it made it to the States, or to LA anyway. Or with that name at least. Anyway, it sounds very nice indeed. ** Dominik, Hi!!! Maybe the answer to love’s presumed financial needs is a TikTok channel. Yes, ‘Forever Young’ too. And dear god please kill ‘Stairway to Heaven’ while he’s at it. And ‘Let It Be’. I could go on and on. Well, the answer to love’s wondering in that regard is obvious. Sigh. My fave part was when I pinned love to the floor and fucked him until his brain lost its wattage and was just sloshing around in his head, G. ** Carsten, Yes, Zac and I are collaborative on every aspect of our films’ lifespans from birth including the worst parts. I may have said this before, but I saw Lightnin’ Hopkins play live in my teens. He performed at this tiny folk/club in LA called The Ash Grove that was located on Melrose of all places. Amazing place. I saw all kinds of legendary blues artists there — Sonny Terry & Brownie McGee, Mississippi John Hurt, and loads of others. ** Antonia, Hi, Antonia! Thanks so much. Oh, wow, that’s intense and great about losing the antidepressants’ input. I never did antidepressants for some reason, but I remember what it was like when I stopped recreational drugs, and, yeah, it took a while, but the clarity became very interesting and positive. I hope that kind of thing happens for you. Surely it will. You’re coming to see RT! Awesome, please say hi and stuff. xo. ** Steve, It does, haha. Sued … I’m not sure, but they did pull the show off the air for I think a few days. ** Jamie, Hi again! Pills are sweet, or can be. I’m old enough to remember when most drugs only came in pill form — speed, LSD, downers, etc. Two kids, wow, congrats to you guys, and, yeah, that’s a lot of expended energy. There’s lots of great things in LA. Uh, Museum of Jurassic Technology to start. Let me think. I have a fondness for the Graveline Tour, if it still exists, where they drive you all over LA in a converted hearse and show you where famous people died. Like ‘That spot on that sidewalk is where William Frawley from ‘I Love Lucy’ dropped dead of a heart attack’. Yeah, things have gone really well for RT in the screenings and responses and so on. We’re very happy. Tentatively it’ll start streaming in the US in July, but that’s not locked down yet. Have ongoing big fun, buddy! ** HaRpEr //, It seems like it might. No, I haven’t read Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz. Finding that post entry was the first I’d heard of him. I read ‘Ulysses’ when I was 16, and the only reason I did was because it was on my parents’ bookshelves and my mother mentioned that it had ‘nasty homosexual’ stuff in it, although I can’t believe she ever cracked its cover since the only book I ever saw her reading was by Kahil Gibran. If I’d been younger when John Waters started making films, he would have saved my life too. ** Laura, Hi! Cheap, sure. Contemporary art is good at cheap. The balcony even had an ashtray. It was amazing! We had a sweet producer for ‘Permanent Green Light’ and we might work with him again if it’s realistically possible to raise funds via French government grants for a film shot in English, which is a huge question mark. You mean Leo? No, he was really nice. I liked him. He lived just down the street from me in a modest sized house at the time. I used to bump into him in the hood and chat once in a while. Was he a rocket scientist? No. But he was cool. Can’t imagine you’re a sappy child. On my mind? I’m still waking up, so … I think just boring stuff like remembering to do laundry before I go to Berlin on Sunday. Blah. Your brain is far superior. ** Bill, The two contemporary art museums in Brussels aren’t bad. I guess there’s an ok gallery scene, we were told, but we didn’t investigate. Nice parks. Pretty lush. No, I don’t know that Hugh Hayden piece or I would have definitely included it. Nice. I hope your week decrazifies. That’s not a word? ** Right. Mid month, escorts, so I’ll leave you with them and see you tomorrow.

Adam McEwen Birth Control Pills (2018)
‘The item is instantly recognizable, but again, freighted with a different set of meaning for each person. The actual objects, while being graphite facsimiles themselves, are ultimately alluding to real objects in everyday life. Indeed, the concept of verisimilitude runs throughout McEwen’s practice. What is real and what isn’t? Is that a picture of a birth control pill packet, or merely its graphite doppelgƤnger? If an object has no utilitarian purpose, but exists solely to evoke a specific memory or reaction from the viewer, can it still be considered real?’

‘Artist Chemical X has taken 10,000 ecstasy tablets to make two enormous murals that look like something you would definitely want to have in your children’s room. irst, the artist and his team make a purchase in the ā€œingredientsā€ wholesale and then make the pills in a house at a secret location. They use two pill presses, one to get the colours right in blanks, than they transfer the colour recipe over to the other press hidden away so that if the studio is raided there is no ā€œcontaminationā€.

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — ‘A Las Vegas mom whose son died because of drugs is upset about large pill stickers on the outside of a local hotel-casino. It’s only been a year since Debi Nadler lost her 28-year-old son, Brett. “He fought hard, he fought very hard, and he lost the battle,” Nadler said. “One pill can kill, one pill.” His pill addiction cost him his life and left Nadler devastated.

‘The anniversary of his death was just days ago, the same day she saw what appeared to be stickers of pills on the windows of the Palms Resort. “It was kind of like a big slap in my face to see a building with pills on the day I was doing my son’s unveiling,” Nadler said. “I wouldn’t even call it a piece of art, I call it something that is like a constant reminder to people who have lost their kids, to active users out there,” she said.’

Yin Xiunzhen Slow Release (2017)
‘The twelve meters long capsule-shaped installation called Slow Release is wrapped in 700 feet of red and white cloth donated by Muscovites. The medicine capsule references a brand-new generation of pills aimed to reduce the speed of release of the medicine into the body – to increase the therapeutic effect. The idea is furthermore accentuated by the fact that the visitors can freely enter the capsule which from the inside resembles one’s body and reconsider the connection between the fast pace of our lives, the wish for the quick effects (in this case – relief) and, on the contrary, the necessity to take a step back once in a while and take time for the continuing process of self-medication.’

‘Fred Tomaselli is one of the premiere psychedelic artists at work today. The California-raised, Brooklyn-based painter is best known for embedding actual pharmaceutical pills, hallucinogens and marijuana leaves in his glossy, resin-covered paintings. At root, Tomaselli’s art is about creating windows into alternative inner and outer realities—inspired by drugs, by 1970s conceptual art, by transcendental encounters with nature, by utopian movements, by the make-believe of Disneyland, which he could see from his childhood home.’

Noubeda Carbone DiseaseĀ (2019)
Disease by Noumeda Carbone is an art series of sculptures made out of empty pill capsules—9500 empty capsules, to be exact. Abstractly formed, each creation looks like some kind of disease rather than the cure they are supposed to be. They seem to suggest that taking medication can become a problem in and of itself. Even the colorful exterior attempts to hide the often dark truth of pill popping, which is symbolized by the black void inside.’

Deathorgone glitchpills (2019)

 

_______________
Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz Various (1964-1969)
‘In pursuit of Pure Form, the Polish artist known as ā€œWitkacyā€ would consume LSD, amphetamine pills, sleeping pills, and other intoxicants before creating numerous studies of clients and friends for his portrait painting company; the mix of substances inducing different approaches to colour, technique, and composition. The resulting images are surreal — and occasionally horrific. Heads become disembodied busts, suspended in the night sky. Bodies are transformed into worms. Faces seep down the paper.’

 

_______________
General IdeaĀ Various (1991)
‘In General Idea’s vocabulary, placebos serve as surrogates for art, functionless and soothing. Consistent with this notion is the deceptively cheerful appearance of the PLAĀ©EBOs: Saturated color radiates from the liquid gloss of the pills’ surfaces, investing these stand-ins for both treatment and disease with an impertinent lightheartedness. A strange disorientation results from their gigantic proportions. The application of such dimensional shifts to everyday objects had already proven a powerful expressive tool for Pop artists, invariably promoting a sense of displacement. The PLAĀ©EBO installations draw their unsettling effect from the impact of this device on our ingrained perceptual habits.’

Loretta Lynn The Pill (1975)
‘Loretta Lynn has caused plenty of controversy over the course of her storied career in country music, including having — by her count — 14 songs banned from the radio. Arguably none of those caused a bigger stir, however, than her 1975 release, “The Pill,” which celebrates birth control and all the freedom it offers to married women who don’t want or can’t afford another baby.’

‘Artist Tina La Porta is a diagnosed schizophrenic. Since consuming pills have become a part of her daily routine they have become a central focus of her work. La Porta uses over the counter pills and coats them with resin, crushes them, places them into the palms of plaster casts of her own hand, photographs them and makes screen prints based on digitally altered images of them. ā€œPills are art supplies for me.

Sarah Schƶnfeld All You Can Feel (2013)
‘Whether you’ve tried mind-altering substances or not one thing remains true: we all have an idea of what a drug feels like, be it imagined, anecdotal, or from direct exposure. So what might the effect of a drug look like? That was the question asked by artist Sarah Schoenfeld who had ample exposure to the realities of drugs while working in a Berlin nightclub. To answer the question she converted her photography studio into a laboratory and exposed legal and illegal liquid drug mixtures to film negatives. The resulting chemical reactions were then greatly magnified into large prints to form a body of work titled All You Can Feel.’


LSD


Melatonin


MDMA


Ecstacy


Valium


GHB

p.s. Hey. ** Jay, Hi. Dalkey Archive is crucial. I’m very happy that they’ve come back to life. For a long time they were the ‘it’ US publisher for adventurous fiction, sort like Grove Press had been in its heyday but without Grove’s overriding libidinal bent. The whole ‘AL” novel is actually pretty terrific. ‘Ada or Ardor’ is Nabokov’s toughie for sure, but if you love his writing, you should try it at least. Surely there are pdfs of it floating around. Lots of love back from good old here. ** Adem Berbic, You’ve never been to Amsterdam? Huh. That’s Flemish architecture central. Even photos of the place would clue you in. I don’t know that Stig Larsson book, but if it’s not in English, there you go. He can be good for sure. ** Dominik, Hi!!! Thank you for thanking. Gotcha on staying in Vienna. It’s going to take ages for the US to find its way back to what it was pre-monster. I suppose it never will entirely. I made it through with one cigarette to spare. A professional cuddler, nice ambition. Like a kidnappable version of those TikTok boys who film themselves offering strangers free hugs? Love erasing every trace of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ from the world or at least the internet and supermarket playlists and giving everyone who’s ever heard it amnesia, G. ** Laura, It is a rather obscure book. Why, I don’t know other than the obvious. Most fun? Uh, they put us up in a swank hotel and I had a suite on the top floor with a smoking balcony, and that was fun. Criticism of a work’s content are not to be taken seriously. Don’t know ‘The Pepsi Cola Addict’, I’ll look for/at it. Love back *whoosh* ** Carsten, The curse would appear to be defunct. Thanks, we see the film’s false start as a boon too, but that does hamper its conventional trajectory, which is a gift in the longer run. Um, I definitely felt the need to have a lawyer for the visa, due to language issues and just wanting to do what was required precisely. It was a hassle as far as gathering the needed materials, but it was pretty easy all in all. And now that I have the new visa, which is an actual card rather than a stamp in my passport, it will supposedly be easier to get a longer term resident visa on the next go round in a year. France seems pretty open with visas. Definitely as compared to the US where it doesn’t even seem worth trying at the current time. But I’m pretty sure if I was younger it might’ve been harder. I think I seem pretty harmless. I think we are either finished with the new script or a few details away from being finished. We’ve been working on it for a year now. I’m just waiting for Zac’s sign off, and then starts the hard part: finding a producer and funding and all of that potential hell. ** _Black_Acrylic, Great, great news, Ben! So you can carry on doing what you have been doing to bolster your health and strength? So very happy to hear that, my friend! ** Jamie, Jamie, old pal, there you are! I’d had my eyes peeled for you at the Brussels screening, but you’re in LA of all places! What are you doing there? Are you and it getting along famously? Sucks I’m not one of my trips there. I probably won’t get there until October/Halloween. I’m doing good. Basically getting the film out and about has been my life for the past year, but now we’re starting to wind down with that and preparing for it to live the rest of its life via streaming and on BluRay. All’s fine. And you? Lots of love back! ** Steve, Yes, Dalkey published the final Robbe-Grillet. When I was a kid I was obsessed with this TV show called ‘The Soupy Sales Show’ which was kind of much less fanciful precursor to ‘PeeWee Herman’ in a way. He (Soupy) used to get in trouble all the time. Once he told the kids watching the show to sneak into their parents wallets and purses and take out all the green paper things and send them to him, and a lot of kids did, and it was a big scandal. ** Hugo, Hi. Nice seeing you too. Sorry for my usual pre-screening nervousness and distractedness. Hugs back. ** HaRpEr //, My pleasure. The London possibility is definitely very far from cemented, so, yeah, back burner for now. In agreement with you, as you said, although I do understand that a lot of people want and even need those kinds of books — people who look to books for things that you and I don’t. As you can imagine, when I was first publishing my novels there was quite a big pushback from gays who thought that my not wanting to be the spokesperson for ‘my kind’ was very selfish of me. ** Corey, Hey, Corey! I’ve been thinking about you what with all the stuff going on down there, as you can surely imagine. I’ll ask my Swedish friends if there’s a cockney Swedish. Mekas is a top model obviously. Thanks for the link. I’ll go look at your teacher’s work when I’m outta here. Great about the growth of the alternative magazine and your own zines and videos. I hope I’m here in October when you come, i.e, before I head off for my Halloween explorations in LA. Great to see you! ** Okay, More ‘pills’ for you today. See you tomorrow.
