feeding the alligators

When one exposes themselves to fiction that stimulates our negative qualities (like horror fiction) so that they can work through them in a healthy and harmless environment as catharsis.

Serial killers and other murderers appeal to the impulse Stephen King calls "feeding the alligators," and Carl Jung called "integration of the shadow self," but it all means the same thing: that entertaining our own dark side can be therapeutic.

Kind

A term used by believers of Creationism to separate and categorize various animals (both by species and breeds) in Baraminology, but dismissed by virtually every other field of science.

"The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good. There was evening and there was morning, a third day... Then God said, 'Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens.' God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good. God blessed them, saying, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.' There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. Then God said, 'Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind'; and it was so."
-- Genesis 1:12-24

Fluxus

An early '60s to late '70s art movement that focused on experimentally mixing various artistic medias and disciplines.

Much like Dadaism and Futurism, Fluxus used Anti-Art to challenge the establishment of the time, change culture as a whole and make fine art more accessible to the masses. Yoko Ono for example was one of many fluxus artists at the time that made performance art an actual thing in modern art.
