The art that is most worth defending is the most vulnerable to attack through political censorship, whether that be from political systems of power, or from institutional pressure that acquiesces to the will of those dominant influences. We must raise our voices and defend that right post haste.

Alright, I’m pissed and frustrated that artists don’t have a simple dedicated platform for ourselves to share each others work without getting flooded with ads and videos of nostalgia. It’s time we collectively do something about this. Bluesky is not the answer.

The fire hasn’t even started yet, just the pouring of gasoline on things. Its terrifying.
