#rich traditions

India, a land of rich traditions and diverse cultures, has long been bound by rigid gender roles and stereotypes. For centuries, these societal norms have shaped the lives of individuals, restricting their choices and limiting their potential. However, in recent years, there has been a growing movement towards breaking these stereotypes and shattering gender roles in Indian society. This blog explores the evolving landscape of gender roles and stereotypes in India and highlights the importance of challenging these notions to create a more inclusive and equitable society.

When a relationship is "like family" but in a bad way. "Like family" in the sense that it becomes the only allowable place to seek care. In that it legitimizes the isolation and violence of an us-vs-them mentality. In that it creates hierarchical power structures and conditions where abuse and control are both easily rationalized and near impossible to break out of. Where the only way to escape your subjugation is to stop being the child and become the parent, starting the cycle anew. And this is both expected and encouraged. Where you feel obligated to repay your caretaker by becoming the kind of person they want you to be. Where everyone looks a little too much like you.

Publishing has always been a fucking nightmare, but now it’s a layer of hell. It’s not enough that writers be good at what they do. Writers have to maintain an active social media presence and cultivate a following. Be available.

They have to be conventionally attractive enough to look good enough to see on a screen, aesthetically pleasing, kind, funny, up-to-date on trends, socially aware but not so controversial that they turn off a brand from California from slapping their discount code on a video promoting a book.

They have to do all of this with no media training, with little help from the companies that are supposed to be doing this for them.

Of course, a lot of this isn't possible for say, the 40-something mother of two who teaches English at a school and writes on the side. She’s boxed out of an already complex industry that already has enough walls.

On some level, I think authors have always marketed themselves a little, but we’ve reached such a crazy point where we’re demanding the author become the influencer. Accessibility in publishing has narrowed from an inch to a sliver. And that inch was hard enough to get in as is.

French Miku

She's protesting. Oh, she threw a cobblestone at a cop... She started a fire... She found Darmanin and put him in the fire... She's unstoppable... She overthrew the government and declared the 6th republic... Truly, an icon.

(Translation of the flag's text: "Kill the rich!")

I really like seeing everyone share their culture with Miku, and I wanted to do the same. However, I faced an issue: I didn't know how to represent the French culture. We do not have traditional clothing. Some regions have their own traditional clothing, like Bretagne, Basque, Corse, but not the country. There are all the fashions associated to France, but there are all for the aristocracy (like robe à la française) or the bourgeoisie, and that's neither the majority of the French pop (aristocracy was 1% of the pop) or me. My ancestors weren't these people, I am not these people. But I didn't know how to make a French Miku I could look at and think "She's French".

I thought about doing an Auvergnate Miku. Auvergne is my region, and I love my region, I could talk for hours about my region. And I always have to defend it because it's a rural region and other french are rude af to us. So, I had an idea for an Auvergnate Miku, even tho we don't have cultural clothing. But, Auvergne is a random French region and, as much as I love it, nobody gives a fuck about it in the grand scheme of things.

Then, I remembered, while reading the news about the French government being awful: France is known for its love for revolts and revolution. And so, here she is, French Miku, wearing a safety vest but wearing a mask to hide her identity from cops (ACAB), a bag to held first aids equipment and food for the picnic afterward. Some pins' of the CGT (a confederation of unions), some human rights association, the pride flag and the Kanaks' flag (because it's the current political issue regarding France and colonialism).

Fun fact: I got so invested in drawing him I completely forgot to draw where his shirt tucked into his belt (or the belt for that matter) and had to add it in before talking the photo
