oh...well hello friends! i see it's getting quite fun on here, ey?*taps foot to the beat*
*has failed to spend enough time here to know what the beat is*
*starts sweating profusely*
*retreats back into hovel*

yeah like honestly, it's been my modus operandi since i dipped a toe in the 'industry' but the fatigue is so real that there's 0 point in trying in the other place. i think organising to galvanise offline is way more effective

also everyone's so exhausted in the arts. but we're all fighting the same fight you know what i mean. feels like discussion is a no go because the prospect of removing one block from the jenga tower to examine it properly implies, to them, an unfathomable crumbling

it feels near impossible on the other place bc it's too big and a lot of the problems in the sector are caused by people who don't even realise what they're doing is a problem, who can't see themselves from a different angle, and it feels mean / unproductive to call it out

wait, maybe i'll just post all my frustrated gripes, and suggestions for overhauling and overthrowing systems on here now??

ty!! slowww adopter but grateful to be here
