another update about my mental health. once again: i am posting this in the hopes that it de-stigmatizes MH and helps anyone out there who needs help but has been afraid or ashamed to get it. #mentalhealth

a note that says: hello all!
i am still in the process of changing medications (from an SSRI to an
SMS) and i have to say: it absolutely sucks. withdrawal symptoms from one med combined with onboarding symptoms from the new med is a real brain roller coaster - nothing unexpected or dangerous, but it is a miserable experience.
i have been able to get into the studio a little bit here and there which is good, but once again among the biggest stressors of this whole process is the difficulty i have in accessing my creativity and ability to focus. i keep having brief flashes of ideas and directions, but accessing them more than superficially is proving very elusive, which is very frustrating.
the good news is that i have people around me who care and are supportive — and i think that is why i continue to post about this process on here: hiding mental health issues makes them so much more difficult to deal with. if you are dealing with similar stuff, i implore you to let your friends and family know what is going on — it helps. a lot. thank you all as always for your support!

Coming from a theater background it’s been totally bizarre to me how many writers of books don’t understand it’s a social business

art is a community, and part of being an artist is being a part of that community: go to openings. see the work of your peers. talk with people about their work and your work. participate.

you might create work alone, but you and your art does not exist in a bubble.

ok how about this instead: i'll keep my air conditioning on and you can turn off all the machines generating AI "art."

idea: "AI art offsets."

every time you use AI you have to put a few dollars into an account that you will spend buying art from human artists.
