As an art historian, I think it depends on how directly the person’s behavior affected or was involved in the art. There’s also the problem of not wanting to financially support a living artist who is a terrible person. It has its place in the conversation.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say moral exemplars - people are flawed and make bad decisions, and the pain and personal growth that comes out of that can lead to the creation of excellent art. Still, there are two factors that make people like Bill Cosby and Woody Allen (to me) impossible to enjoy. 1) The complete lack…

Craft thread!

We don’t have Republicans.

When I hear her speak the only thing I can think is, “How the fuck could she not have been elected? My God.”

It’s astonishing how comforted I am just seeing her (beautiful, less made-up) face. I so wish she were in charge, but even knowing she’s out there still makes me feel better. This is all madness, and I wish things were setup where we could have another election in like 6-9 months, after people have really figured…
