It Takes All Kinds

filed under: Procrastinetion

Since becoming more active on Flickr, I've gotten re-addicted to the "Flickr Daily Zeitgeist" that I put on the sidebar here a while ago. You play like this: wait until an interesting-looking thumbnail comes up (interesting person, interesting place, seems to contain unfathomable weirdness), click on it, and then page through the person's pictures. It's an interesting peep into the lives of people all over the world - some are making art, some are just posting snapshots of their lives.

Today, a thumbnail came up that was so incomprehensible that it made me go "what in the SAM JEEBUS is going on THERE?!" And thus, I happened upon the work of "Darkseid." Darkseid has a speciality: gay footworship. No, let me make that more specific: gay *underwater* footworship.

In his underwater men photoset, he's posted dozens of photos of attractive young men trampling on other attractive young men, underwater. Hilariously, the front page of the photoset offers this enticement: "you can do THIS contact me!!!"

There. I was disturbed, and now you're disturbed. Just had to share.

But what I'm most struck by, beyond the sheer width and breadth of things people are into in this weird, wide world, is what an obviously fantastic time everyone involved is having. These guys just clearly love this.

It's a strange world, and it takes all kinds to make it.
