Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Just understand, fellow artists, …

…of perspectives and experiences we need to drop the classist bullshit gatekeeping. We need to allow for artists to both sell work that sells, doing their work, as well as making critically engaged work that may or may not have commercial potential. As it stands most of us have to hold down waged..
