if when I’m older I don’t end up living in an apartment in a big city with a group of my closest friends and we don’t get ourselves into comically awkward situations and spend every day hanging out and making memories together I will be very disappointed because every sitcom ever will have misguided me

If you don’t like piercings, don’t get any. If you don’t like tattoos, don’t get any. If you don’t agree with abortions, don’t get one. If you don’t like gay marriage, don’t marry your same gender.

If you don’t like something, don’t do it.

But DO NOT prevent someone else from doing it just because you don’t like it.

the distinction between “crafts” and “fine art” is probably driven by misogyny and the devaluation of women’s labor

art forms that have traditionally been practiced by women like embroidery are devalued and called just “crafts” while art forms that women historically were mostly barred from (painting, sculpture) are “fine art”

It’s also driven by racism in Western art appreciation courses in my experience. African art tends to be viewed as crafts rather than fine art, especially when it’s art that can have functional uses in households.
