“I know that if women wish to escape the stigma of husband-seeking, they must act and look like marble or clay - cold, expressionless, bloodless; for every appearance of feeling, of joy, sorrow, friendliness, antipathy, admiration, disgust, are alike construed by the world into the attempt to hook a husband. Never mind! well-meaning women have their own consciences to comfort them after all. Do not, therefore, be too much afraid of showing yourself as you are, affectionate and good-heartened; do not too harshly repress sentiments and feelings excellent in themselves, because you fear that some puppy may fancy that you are letting them come out to fascinate him; do not condemn yourself to live only by halves, because if you showed too much animation some pragmatical thing in breeches might take it into his pate to imagine that you designed to dedicate your life to his inanity.”

— Charlotte Brontë writing to a friend who had been kind to a man she thought was married, only to have him fall in love with her because he thought she was flirting (letter dated April 2, 1845). (via groot)

but you can't keep holding on like this.

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.

When Jet said "I think we may all contain a multitude of people. It is only a question of which ones we let out, and for how long,"

Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor
