And yet the burden is so often them trampling over you to further their own goals.
I try to treat everyone as if they are carrying a great burden and I would like to be treated the same.

‘If you choose to make a T-shirt out of this review you will be invoiced accordingly.’ Swells
can't trust numbers, it's jst part of the arts ecosystem, "we're all passing around the same 50 bucks" as a storied elder once told me..."critics help feed us, we help feed them...circle of life..." however there is such a thing as media darlings getting way more hype thn deserved so idk...
A few months ago Indigo De Souza called Pitchfork “internet bullies” over a 6.6 review of her new album and asked her fans to tell the publication it was “whack”: “why not ONLY write reviews about art you LIKE?”

Last night she wore a shirt featuring the review onstage at Pitchfork Music Festival.

This is horrifying! I have a degree in German and Russian from Nottingham. And I went there because it was in many respects a leading light in modern languages. This is incredibly short-sighted and idiotic.
I am hearing that @uniofnottingham.bsky.social is suspending (i.e shutting down) *all modern language courses* in 2026-27. One of the largest departments in the UK. A shocking short sighted move that damages regional and national prospects @britishacademy.bsky.social @hetanshah.bsky.social

Jess Philips yet another one to add to the growing list of men and women who do not listen to what victims are saying. They are telling you they feel its a cover up.dont jump in and contradict them. No fucking wonder women hardly come forward.
