In other words, time and tenacity are what really makes you an artist. Natural talent, if you have it, is like 10% of what makes an artist... If that
And while that 10% is worth noting - it's often why creatives choose the specific art they do - the 90% that's tenacity is more important

If you want it to be easier to become an artist, here are some things to demand instead of generative AI:
Flexible work hours
Four day work weeks
Universal basic income
Living wages for artists
Free arts education
Those things will give you time, and with it, you can become an artist

When Donald Trump announced himself as the "law and order" candidate, he was echoing Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and using a dog whistle meant to invoke the mythology of America's Old West culture. This is a culture that celebrates racism, imperialism and the genocide of the Native American.

I don't have to endorse it or support it, but I will refuse to condemn it and if your analysis of crime and criminology does not include power inequities then you have nothing to say to me.

For people living in poverty because colonialism has stolen everything from them, theft is an act of resistance.
For people living beneath the boot of a colonial state intent on denying their humanity, violence is an act of resistance.
They don't even have to understand it that way. It just is.

I once had a client a local prosecutor called a "career criminal."
Tbh, client had multiple arrests.
For stealing food.
Because otherwise they wouldn't eat at all.
Because they couldn't get a job because of previously being arrested for stealing food.
A society has the criminals it creates.
