I’m actually like... really interested in political science and politics. Mainly in just open discussion about it. Not debate per se, people are super annoying about that, just talking about stuff as it is and kinda just... y’know. Acknowledging how it works, how people react, and breaking it down then just going “oof” or “yikes” about whatever the topic is.
Unfortunately, It’s not something I can really talk about around my immediate peers. Like, I get it, uncomfortable stuff can be hard to listen to but I dunno. I find that sort of thing interesting. It’s one of the very very few things I found I have some tact in outside of maybe art. I find it easier to bounce back and forth IRL. I think it’s better to be more informed about stuff? Idk. A part of me kind of hates feeling like I need to spare people’s comfort, but meh... Another part of me gets it. Then again, I’ve sat through worse from anybody else, so AAAAAAA
SO INSTEAD I JUST SAVE MY GARBAGE FOR WHEN A SERIOUS CORRECTION NEEDS TO BE MADE. Nothing really will get me riled up until I see something very very ... ignorant be said. (Not in an insulting way, I mean ignorant mainly in an uninformed way) But I mostly end up keeping my thoughts to myself. I’m not dragging anything here. This is a pure stupid blog, and social media is NOT the place for anything like that— not that it’s anyone’s business 😭
Instead I just read articles, conduct research, and keep up with current events on my own time. I’ve sat through entire dang congress trials for no fucking reason outside of “this keeps my attention i guess.” Which is weird because it’s mostly boring, drawn out, and/or frustrating af because I already know the end result. But you bet I’m gonna sit there stupidly and take names. There’s some mfers i’m real damn sick of in there jghfgdjfj but I digress
I’ve considered looking deeper into pursuing it because it seems more lucrative, but another part of me is just like “eghhhhh yknow what im going back to art now”— my non-fanart stuff tends to speak for itself anyhow
