this year i am aiming for a balance between openness and steadiness in my paintings. I’ve often struggled with feeling inconsistent (as if it’s a crime!) and wanting to be but also getting bored easily. In 2023, I am Not fighting against myself anymore, it’s such a waste of energy

I don’t understand why Taylor Swift is getting praise for putting her tour on Netflix and everyone is acting like it is a generous act. Her tour is over. She couldn’t make any more money off of it so she found a way to get around that and still make money. She’s getting paid a lot for having it on Netflix and that money is coming from every one of us with a subscription.

Sure it’s cool that a larger mass of people who want to see it will be able to, but it wasn’t an act of generosity it was a business move first and foremost

(Also tons of artists have already done this, she is far from an innovator)

Should em start actually getting up in the morning and repair their flawed sleeping schedule so at school she can actually do their best work...

Here’s to 2018. A year dedicated to achieving goals 🥂

I’m currently having a hard time cultivating my feminist identity. On the one hand, I want to prove people wrong and fight the standards/bias/expectations that people have for women so I find myself: sitting and wanting to take up space, not showing extreme emotion in situations with other people, fixing my car by myself, building things, not needing help, not letting people hold doors open for me, not feeling the need to wear makeup or pretty clothing.

But my favorite professor pointed out to me today that i shouldn’t be figuring out who I am based on not needing men around or possessing qualities that society deems as “manly.”

So this year I’m working on just figuring out who I am as a person, and which of those things fit into me and what brings me joy. And also continuing to fight against society and societal expectations of gender roles.

Happy new year :)
