I love Doris and she is so cute but also she looks so much like Teddy Roosevelt sometimes that I can't help but laugh

[g4yr4t]

all I'm saying is that no one has ever seen them in the same room together

yoooo i ended up trying needle sculpting for the first time on this mcdonalds aisha instead of the baby scorchio (that one has more sentimental value to me so i'd feel sadder if i messed up), but it looks so NICE, i'm thrilled

i forgot to take before pictures but like, googling green aisha mcdonalds plush gives a good idea of what it looked like before

i don't have the materials for it right now, but someday i think i'd like to make my little guy a custom collar+ replacement A, since the A is printed lopsided on mine and half of it gets lost in a seam

[synthaphone]

bought some letter charms and found where i’d put my fabric, so l finally made this guy a new collar :)

People are unfazed if you hate women but if you dislike dogs they assume you're a bad person

[fforsythiaaa]

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.
