If my partner were in the media and doing wildly unethical stuff for years I probably wouldn’t sit on it until I could use it to boost newsletter subscriptions.

I just love that we work in a system built on performative business.

Like, your average desk job can probably be done—successfully and competently—in a 3-day work week.

But no. We gotta be here 40 hours a week; 25 of which us corporate drones have to pretend we're actually busy.

WOW so I did a pet portrait of a little white dog a few weeks ago, his name is Buddy, and I mistakenly referred to him as Teddy to the owner and I could not for the life of me figure out where that came from!!

FACTS
Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

If you're at your family's Thanksgiving this year and the problematic Uncle starts talking some bullshit, the best play is to immediately light a cigarette at the table.
