And also this:

Hey cool! The ‘bold and special’ commentary probably come from a place of meaning well but not knowing the relevant culture/comparable artists. I think it’s pretty natural (and unfortunate) that we tend to think we aught to be criticizing the artist when we are really are critical of the critique (that’s a tongue…

It’s really not up to you to define art for someone else. Art is not inherently precious by nature and is only made so by others to discourage expression, and monopolize for the elite.

I’ve been experiencing a not-fun chronic illness the past two months. It’s been a lot of sitting around feeling worthless, getting behind on chores, feeling too sad about it to do anything but indulgences once well...and trying to keep up at work (like working 12 hour days for two weeks the short time I was well). My…

I’m not shocked or anything since the Commentariate Queens here consistently suck, but it makes me really really sad how fucking negative everyone on Jezebel is towards art, artists, and particularly young female artists. Sad. You are all very sad. Mark, props to your thoughtfully and tastefully written article.

Stretching IS good for your mental health. Being in physical pain is bad for your mental health, not taking time to focus on yourself in silence in a positive way is bad for your mental health, etc. That’s not ju ju it just makes sense.

Goooooood riddance

I think a combination of want to and have to. A couple people here have been able to “disconnect” but I’m not really the type—and I think they know that. The thing that sucks is that in our industry, in our particular town...most people get paid twice what we do. But we are a “start-up” that is run pretty…

Beading is not a “print”, it’s a PATTERN.

I send work emails at 2am, work 12 hours a day regularly and make $28K.

MEN ARE CELEBRATED EVERY DAMN SECOND. Like, they’re dead, let it go.

Lol no. Exhibitions of male artists don’t talk about their daddies.

“Many of the works, unsurprisingly, are the work of aristocratic and even royal women passing the time.” This is a pretty ignorant sentence. No one would ever say that a man who happened to be wealthy and also practiced a highly skilled craft was doing so just to “pass the time”. They clearly had an artistic passion.…

I think twice, all told (I was there maybe 7 or 8 months?). I had refused tips at other jobs because they were ‘against policy’ but then when I got a little older and realized getting in trouble was a fake idea, AND that you can only get in trouble if you get caught, I was like, heeeyyy thanks, don’t tell my manager…

“Souza adds that she’s glad GQ Mexico was liberal with its Photoshopping, compared to what she’s experienced in the past:”

True, they’ve all gone out of business now but 10 years ago they were still plugging along. Kmart, maybe, also? “Lifetouch or someone Lifetouch bought out” though for sure.

LAST ONE IS DEFINITELY IN A J.C PENNY AND DEFINITELY NOT OUT OF THE NORM. Ughhhh.

I really enjoyed the documentary as well. And I’m gonna steal this opportunity to say, like Tig had before the breast cancer and mother passing away, I have C. Diff right now (for the second time), and it is NOT TO BE FUCKED WITH. LISTEN TO TIG. Do not take antibiotics you don’t need! Always take a GOOD probiotic…

Dominos is definitely better than Italian pizza. I didn't meet a slice I didn't have to throw out half way through the whole month I was there.

Jesus I am so not ready to only have 6 good years left to get married and have a kid. And I’m partnered up!
