I’m alive.
Just struggling with migraines still.
I’m just using all the energy I have for basic grooming and chores/ irl obligations like watching and playing with my poodle puppy when my family is out doing things.

We gotta start somewhere! For those that haven’t yet, go read everything you can from the official WGA site for the strike. Maybe we can put our heads together and come up with something that could actually have at least some impact. It’s not like we’ve got much else to do anyways…

Radfem artist discord!
Hi! I'm a radical feminist and an artist. I created a discord server for radfem artists in the hopes that we can have a community to support each other and encourage growth. Every week we have a new art challenge that is voted on to improve our work and every month we have a new theme. September's theme is cottagecore and last week's challenge was "draw this again" for example.
You must be female and radfem (/adjacent) to join, any kind of art is allowed from drawing to writing, crafting to needlework, etc as long as you create art.
Please message me for the link. 🥰

like.. i do have a complex relationship to historical orientalist art. one of my all-time favorite paintings is "portrait of a young moroccan girl" by an anonymous orientalist painter. its a portrait of a young amazigh girl who looks just like a younger me. ive put pictures of my young self next to that painting sometimes just because the resemblance was so striking. its kind of the only art piece in which ive ever recognized myself, you know? and its part of an art movement that was focused on representing those people - the people i descend from - as strange, exotic, often sexualized, often barbaric others. much of that art is beautiful and skillful. and yet it is tainted by its context, its intent, its gaze. and yet... there i am, in the painting. you know? its difficult to parse exactly how i feel about it. theres a feeling of unfairness about it all, of course: if artists of color were equally represented to white artists, historically or currently, if their art was equally valued, would i have seen myself in another painting? in many others? and yet the young moroccan girl is here. but she isnt; she isnt in the painting, as a person. she is the object of the art and can only be that. and she looks just like me. and i keep coming back to her. yknow?
