A Guide to the World's Most Fantastic Monsters, Hallelujah the Hills
Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

People have anxiety that if they liked a rotten person’s art that they are corrupted. If what the artist did disturbs you, that is a sign that it has not. People can trick you by being kind in one way and cruel in another. You are not the art that person made, even if it holds a place in your heart.
A tough one to sit with--but we must--is that some people's ability to make good art in part derived from, or was protected by, the fact that they were enabling or doing terrible things. See also: We Need to Talk about Cosby doc. Even more troubling on this score: Read deep reporting on Alice Munro
"actually his stuff was very Derivative and not Original" like, you don't have to do this. it is good for us all to sit with the cognitive dissonance that a very bad person can make very good art. it is good for us to work through the moral ramifications of that.

I am just going to remind everyone to take another look at the very excellent @maxread.info piece about Matt Yglesias which is not about this guy but I think has some important insights into the dynamic involved.

among other things, it's good for our brains to have practice understanding that a person who has added something good to our lives -- as a friend, a teacher, a family member, an artist whose work we love -- can have done harm that it's now our moral duty to name.

discussing this with my sister once, she said very wisely that it's good to learn to sit with cognitive dissonance. there's value to being able to say, I love this art made by a shitty person. there's value to holding those two truths without trying to make them resolve.

the absolution is: this is a very classic "it looks like you've encountered a structural problem, have you tried personal accountability?" response. you didn't know. you didn't cause it to be so. it is the structures that allowed it. when you knew better, you did better.

once again these things boil down to “is your group a bohemian cultural identity” or “is your group actually trying to do things?” and the key tell is whether your activity centers on policing of in-group behavior or whether it centers on, again, tangible goals

Ignoring & avoiding feelings & memories is never a realistic or sustainable trauma recovery "strategy"-- but we need to meet our urge to ignore & avoid w/ enormous compassion & patience.
Feelings & memories can be terrifying & overwhelming. "Just face them" isn't that easy.

We're going to have days & moments in recovery when we feel on the verge of everything falling apart-- which doesn't mean everything is about to fall apart. When the "check engine" light comes on, it means our vehicle requires attention & care, not that it's a "failure" of a car.
