had a dream that an AIDS-denialist children's author started writing all these books about a Mysterious Curse that Only Affects Left-Handed People and my haunted blood-soaked self just started walking through bookstores with a barbecue lighter, blank as the pavement, setting copies on fire
So if you struggle to be creative stop thinking about yourself and the perception of yourself for five fucking seconds this is science β’. Thank you for coming to my podcast tldr
(And also creativity does not necessarily mean whatever youβre doing is like, good or interesting. Have you ever talked to a person whoβs stoned as hell? Or seen art by white women w dreadlocks?)
(Iβm also using art as a shorthand for all ways creativity manifests not just a literal painting but in thinking and in relationships and in communication and in politics)
Is this confirming my biases? Absolutely lmao. But also I know I choke artistically (and just like, in general) the second I think about being perceived as the person making the art instead of just being the person making the art
Paired w artists describing that flow state as something coming from outside the self, βdivine inspirationβ etc, kinda seems like to be meaningfully creative you have to climb out of your own asshole for five fucking minutes
I have several paragraphs bear w me: Iβm first to call bullshit on brain science because itβs reductive eugenics 99 percent of the time but I was listening to an interview w a neuroscientist who studies creativity (and voiced appropriate scorn towards pop/science brain narratives)
look buddy there's a listless throbbing organ buried deep underground that contains the soul of music and the useless fucks and dipshits perforated the damn thing via fracking and that's why the shit you've had to hear the last few years has been incomprehensible dogshit
listening party was a hoot and the EP is out now! reportedly some of y'all really enjoyed it. which is weird of you. π

i will destroy every sport in existence before i let another trans kid be abused and degraded and killed just for trying to have structured fun with other kids
watching everyone in tech stumble over themselves to Both Sides Bad the ai debacle lately has been interesting . "the pro- and anti- sides need to come to a compromise" idk man i don't think that's how it is. they should just shut down all the llms and throw the companies in the trash. no compromise
Get married to a sicko youβve loved for 12 years so you can have someone who knows exactly what youβre invoking with a painting without you having to explain it. And also if theyβre short they can check you for ticks after a hike. Follow me for more wife pro tips
every time I schedule an EP release I'm like "ah, yes... finally structure. not just some willy-nilly bullshit." and then immediately drop some stupid fucking single to utterly dunk on myself

Unfortunately there is a very real and literal art duct and if I donβt express it daily it gets all turgid and inflamed and itchy and I get really bitey
