Suzanne Vega releases “Luka” 39 years ago this weekend. She said she once received a fan letter about it: “Dear Suzanne, Luka is the most compelling piece of music I’ve heard in a long time. There are no words 2 tell U all the things I feel when I hear it. I thank God 4 U, Prince”

Saw Swan Lake tonight at one of the most beautiful opera houses – The State Opera of Prague. 🤍🦢 As I sat there, I kept thinking about how much I love the performing arts (and humans making art!). Watching the dancers and hearing the orchestra below play Tchaikovsky completely overwhelmed me.

Stage shot of the opera house. Some of the gilded boxes with red velvet interiors are visible on the left. The orchestra can be seen below.

View from the back of the box featuring red velvet curtains, gilded mirror, and the boxes across the room.

A brunette facing away from the camera as she sits and looks in the direction of the stage. The seats and boxes are nearly empty as it's intermission.

A shot that shows more of the stunning neo-rococo ceiling.

My biggest conspiracy theory is that telling working class people that engagement in the arts is a middle / upper class thing and to do so makes you a class traitor is a psyop to make them disengaged with themselves and the world and the beauty of being human, so that they accept worse treatment.

Crazy to think I have a novel coming out in a month. Imagining telling my 19 year old self I finally did it. She'd be like "Why did it take you 20 years?" And I'd be like, "Girl, fuck you. Shut up. I had stuff going on."

the argument that AI somehow democratizes art relies on an assumption that it's artists (defined in this case as successful content creators) who are presumed to be withholding tools/talent and are therefore the cause of inequalities inherent within capitalism, rather than capitalism itself.

I say this often but it bears repeating: if you make your money from creating art then you NEED to find an art or craft where you just do it for fun and don't try to be perfect or make any money from it, and when anyone tells you to monetise it you say 'No', because otherwise your soul will die.
