See, I think people only appreciate art if they feel that they themselves couldn't do it. It's not that the art is esoteric or abstract or weird, people love The Chocolate Guy, or weird machines in art museums that flail around, because they recognize the amount of skill these artists have. But when they see a piece like IKB 191 (1962), they'll laugh and point and say "I could do that", and won't appreciate the piece until you've explained all the work that went into mixing up Klein Blue and inventing the color. I have to think this sort of reaction is a result of envy, and the belief that someone is making easy money by pretending their art is good, and that art should only be reserved for people that are literal magicians in their talent, and not for people who value the simple methods. The thing though is, if you look at a piece of art and think "I can make that", please do so. Please make that art. These artists who value 'simple' artistic expressions are opening the door for you, they're placing value on art that doesn't take 20 years of apprenticeship to even come close to making. They want you to succeed, make that art. Do it. Make the art.

This is stupid but I truly do not understand why women will not propose to their boyfriends. Like, they’ll get mad at their man for not proposing to them on a certain date at a certain location? If that was your dream proposal situation then why didn’t you propose? Sometimes she expresses she is worried it is a sign he’s not willing to commit which is even more of a reason to put him on the spot and force a definitive ‘yes’ or ‘no’ out of him instead of wasting your time waiting for him to take initiative. I know there is some undercurrent of sexism and misogyny with women proposing to men historically being framed as a domineering or desperate act but if your man gets mad at you and says you proposing to him is emasculating and undermining his ego as a man, you now know he is a big fucking baby and a loser and wouldn’t make a good husband. I just think proposing if you want to be proposed to is a better solution than shambling along for 8 years with festering resentment.

you work with or go to school with people who are actively in mania and/or psychosis. you just don't realize this.

"the only interactions I've had with manic/psychotic people have been violent" do you live under a rock? do you emerge from your house only once every 3 years? we are everywhere, you just don't realize it.

an estimated 1.1% of the population is schizophrenic. an estimated 2.8% of the population is bipolar. those are not the only conditions that cause psychosis.
