- i feel like I have a lot of thoughts about the Epstein files and how it continues to affirm many things I and other women have been saying for many, many years abt art, culture, power, etc. & yet it almost feels pointless to verbalize bcuz somehow, some way, people will find ways to handwave it away
- It has been obvious for /decades/, but even moreso now, how people in power with specific interests use art, internet culture, media, etc. to influence opinion to better fit their needs/narratives. What are we going to do about it? In earnest, probably nothing. 1) because the powers that be still-
- benefit from the system, even if the wool has been pulled from the collectives' eyes, and 2) people are still too stuck experiencing cognitive dissonance with their own beliefs, many of which have been astroturfed in some shape or form, and find ways to ignore that dissonance

View full threadSo, I'll focus on what I CAN do at the individual level. I'll talk with people in my community. I'll give platform and voice and support to people who have been hurt by the systems we refuse to collectively change. I'll be kind and hope my individual actions can butterfly effect outward somehow
- Stuff from the game jam I took part in this weekend! I joined the team a little late so I only had like 10 hours to work on these assets. Had a lot of fun!!
- I also did the UI for the game but that PSD file is on a different computer so maybe I'll upload it later when I'm not feeling so lazy SDFLKHSFD
- Just wrapped up an in person game jam I was at this whole weekend and man... NOTHING beats the energy of a room full of creatives just making shit for the love of the craft. I really feel most alive in environments like that
- Something I am wanting to get into this year is more DIY projects... I want to spray paint and customize my furniture, get back into sewing, make stuff with my hands...
