Some things I want to think about in 2024 in relation to my own art:

1- Is my art environmentally friendly? If I'm selling art, is my packaging, paper, paint etc environmentally friendly or am I simply creating more plastic merchandise that will end up in the trash.

2- How does my art and myself exist under capitalism? What's my role in this system? What does my art uphold? Do I want to change that?

3- What is truly important to me, and does my art reflect that? Am I making art to please the algorithm or a trend? Am I happy with the art that I'm making? Am I simply regurgitating usamerican tastes that have been fed to me?

I've been thinking a lot about how to reconcile my political stances and my art and also what do I want to do with my life and what makes me happy. Being more conscious of the decisions I make regardless of what I'm told I need to do. Even If I need to force myself out of my confort zone, I want to look back 30 years from now and see meaning and purpose to what I'm doing.

The thing that I love the most about Doctor Who is that it’s just SOOOOOO bad. It’s awful. It’s dreadful. It’s cheesy and stupid and terrible. It has dialogue like “I am the beep of all the meeps!” It’s truly the most embarrassing cringeworthy thing you’ve ever seen. It’s been that way for 60 years. It’s gonna be that way for another 60. It doesn’t matter what kind of budget or fan base they receive. It’s always gonna be this stupid.

I love it so fucking much.

details!!

but you can't keep holding on like this.

If you have no other option, you will succeed.

i refuse to let glorifying violence and infantilizing kindness be the norm. kindness requires a strength of character and purpose that brutality can only dream of. 

Took me until about halfway through college before I realized “study” means “play with the material in a variety of ways until you understand it” and not just “read the assigned chapters and do the homework” and I think that probably should have been discussed at some point prior to that.
