i think confidence is folks' best accessory/piece.
my style is really best described as:
only buy things that you love.
all clothes are unisex.
where all your favorite things at once.
look like a piece of art.

every award season, i'm like: is it fuck these institutions, or are you still dependent on them to legitimize our art?
okay fr which one is it? we care about the awards/categories, or we decentering them because WE know they are racist like every single thing this empire creates.
to engage with it means to accept its legitimacy and to celebrate when one of "our" own wins.
my god. let it go.

“Blood is thicker than water.”
The real quote is: “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.”
It means that the relationships you chose are more important than the ones formed by blood.
