everyone says 'prioritize your health' 'look after yourself' until they realize that making your wellbeing your first priority means making everything else a lower priority. and yeah, that's sometimes ok if it's temporary, but if those health issues are chronic? oh boy do they not like it when you actually take their advice. sometimes prioritizing your health means neglecting your work, your household chores, your social life. 'looking after yourself' means not putting your energy into looking after everyone else first. and the same people who tell you to prioritize your health will get upset with you when they realize it means you're no longer priorizing them.

if you have disabled or chronically ill people in your life and you extend them sympathy and tell them to look after themselves when they're feeling sick, but then you get upset at then because they keep canceling plans. please. reevaluate.

Black experimental artists are not goddamn punchlines or meme fodder. Experimental music in all its mutative forms wouldn't exist without the innovations of black artists. You need to challenge your deep-seated racism and unlearn it, then recognize the importance of black artistry as a force to be reckoned with.

The fact that Death Grips have increasingly become the funny meme band in recent years despite having both some of the absolute wildest most creative music ever made (NOTM) and some of the most emotionally raw and challenging (On GP) is so sad to me. As soon as something slightly off the edge of the mainstream comes along, ESPECIALLY if there's not a comfortable conventionally attractive white face attached to it, it gets laughed at and degraded. Obviously the issues regarding Black art and Asian art are different but my feelings towards the continued treatment of Yoko Ono are similar.

You are completely right about Yoko Ono. I am so defensive of her and her work because she was a forerunner in NYC's new avant-garde movement and was booking shows for black experimental artists in her loft at a time when it was hard for many to find gigs. Her own work is highly conceptual and is purposely jarring to listen to - that's the point.

John Lennon was the worst thing that ever happened to her. She went from being revered in the avant-garde underground to being viewed as a joke by mainstream media consumers who didn't even try to understand her work. She "broke up the Beatles" and "couldn't sing", so she was automatically lambasted and even vilified. I hate it so much.
