Abromivic and Clinton on Satanic Claims

The Trump administration is really grasping at straws this time

Just when this election couldn’t get any worse, America decides to drag the art world into it. Through the latest release of Wikileaks, Clinton advisor John Podesta’s brother (a prominent art collector) was found to have been invited by Marina Abromovic to a “Spirit Cooking dinner” at her home.

Multiple right-winged websites have been researching into Abromovic’s behaviors in the past, but in the past 48 hours they have been even more persistent than usual. Many people have found Abromovic’s performance piece from 1979, Pig’s Blood, and have been using that as “evidence” of her satanic tendencies.

If anyone knows contemporary art and performance, they could very easily claim bullshit on the right-wing, and far-fetched, claim that the Clinton administration and Marina Abromovic are involved in satanic rituals or beliefs. Honestly, at this point in the election it’s actually hilarious that an opponent would grasp at such straws because they have so little confidence in themselves and the message they hold for the American people.

“I’m outraged, because this is taken completely out of my context,” claims Abromivic. “Anybody who wants can read my memoirs and find out that [my work] is far away from Satanism,” she said. “My work is really more about spirituality and not anything else,” she continued. “I’ve been doing my work for so long, and this is a misunderstanding.” She said of the right-wing attacks, “It’s absolutely outrageous and ridiculous.”

All things considered, Abromovic and the Clinton administration have been keeping up a positive image and not letting the depressing satire of the situation get the best of them.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
