I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
"all video games/movies/music suck these days!!"
well if you just turn your head a little to the left and look at this indie game or that indie movie or that bandcamp musician"
"NO i dont want to do that, I want to say how much everything sucks"
Not the Idoru I imagined, l’m afraid. (Actually the previous sentence can be two, as well.)
the economic vibes are bad

Commit to the cringe. Be genuine and open. Be sincere. No irony. No cynicism. It will feel cheesy. Thay's fine. Cheese is tasty.

From one year ago:
"Had a dream last night that I was in Target with Anne Hathaway. She kept insisting that we 'rescue' a single roll of paper towels someone had dropped on the floor.
When I handed it to her, she squeezed it, smiled with glee, shouted 'IT’S GOBLIN CHRISTMAS!' and then ran away."
I've started releasing a new serialized novel, CONSIDER THE SPEAR - a far future space opera story about a clone trying to go against her clone sisters after they decide to take over the galaxy. M/W/F on Reddit and Tumblr. #serialized #HFY #Writing #SpaceOpera

Making art is hard! You will suck at it for a lot longer than you expect. If you really give it a try over the long haul you will improve.
I wonder how much of the current Art Discourse is missing the unsaid Capitalism Hellscape monetization part, instead of doing it because you like the making.
