I'm only in my 50s, but I'm trans/nonbinary. Didn't even know that was an option until my 40s!
Something I'd like to address. There's this idea that TQ+ folk are all 21 year-old art students... and all the 'normal' old school folk are LGB and entirely left behind and confused by 'pronouns'...
Every talk I give, know who the most outspoken trans allies are? Queer folk in their 70s!!

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Art is wild because you'll be stuck working on the same part over and over for hours and then you make one random extremely frustrated line and you'll be like "... wait... 👀" and it'll fix everything.

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

A reminder to all that pointing, laughing AND SHAMING THE FUCK out of companies does Abso-fucking-lutely work and we should do it more often
They keep doing this becsuse they don't think it will harm their brand as much as not using it
Prove em wrong

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

did you enjoy creating it? did you have fun? does it make you happy thinking about it and sharing it? then that's it. you did it. you found the secret sauce. "was that a waste of time?" of course not, fuckface. expressing yourself creatively is always worthwhile. you're doing great

So, real talk. The imposter syndrome never really goes away either, it's like an old chronic injury that flares up again and gets really bad at certain times of the year, or if you've strained yourself. It creeps back when you don't expect it, and it's hard not to hear that little voice get louder.
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.

there doesn't seem to be a space to make mistakes, to be a newbie. it's one of the reasons why I think frieren fan art meme is great and important. besides the memery, it's a huge protest against it - we all MISSED seeing amateur art because we don't SEE it anymore (algorithms!)

I want art thats made by people, because i want to connect with people. I don't care if that art is made for personal reasons or for a coca cola commercial, i want to see art and think about the person who made it. How they got here. why they became an artist. What inspires them.
