so I very regularly work 1-on-1 in an artist mentorship for various things -- skill improvement, project management, addressing creative burnout.

I currently have a couple spots open! Check out info in the link below and contact me if you're interested!

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them

just want to say for don't underestimate the power of a simple $5 a month subscription to artists you want to support

it may seem insignificant but to put it into perspective:

if just 1/4 of my current follow count offered $5 I wouldn't have to worry about rent and focus more on art production

I want to build a dependable passive income for myself so I can have more time in my weekly schedule to finish personal projects... if you feel inclined to support with a monthly tip, please check out my ko-fi!

1000%!!! I rewatch it at least once a year

I think you approached the reality of it in a labor-oriented way, which makes it sound like you're talking about a job (which it is) rather than it being about the sexyness of it all, so it can be relatable and engaged. this really was a great read, I thoroughly enjoyed it

since this thread is getting traction again, let me rec you the Canadian comedy miniseries Slings & Arrows, which centers on a shakespearean theatre company exploring the makings of putting on a show. 3 seasons, 6 eps each.

scene that sold me to watch it ages ago:

Every time a director says AI is here to stay I simply decide then and there that I won't watch their movies anymore. It's really that simple.

there's no harm in looking at the script to get the meanings you missed

Full video link in thread! I'm definitely bookmarking this to watch later. This is an incredible feat of translation without changing a single word. The juxtaposition of Shakespearean dialogue and a flawlessly delivered TGIF family sitcom tone is some masterwork craftsmanship by these performers

whenever i encounter people who say they can't understand shakespeare verses I always send them this clip from the 2019 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing

when I started this I was worried about how long it takes me to finish a cell but I also began this deaf and blind about what the fuck I'm doing. got to the point where I settled into a dependable method and it's nice to be getting faster

Alright y'all, so I had this essay about the current era of the internet and the hypocrisy from all sides about children on social media in my head for months.

This is actually my first time writing an essay like this so uhm, it would be cool if you read it 👉👈
