I think we’re several years past the point where “Whoops, it was just groupthink again, silly us” is going to cut it as an explanation for one avoidable shitshow after another, don’t you

Having had and seen limited degrees of success in various creative niches throughout the years, I feel pretty confident in saying the following are far more important. 1. Ability to network with others 2. Ability to self-promote 3. Access to wealth Probably in that order.

Scrubskeeting here but I saw a post here earlier today that suggested succeeding in the creative industries is a matter of hard work and determination. I want to be very clear that this is a total lie. The creative industries are in no way a meritocracy and saying they are is massively disingenuous.

been seeing a lot of this. MLK Jr was 34 when he gave his I Have A Dream Speech. when Harriet Tubman did her first Underground Railroad rescue she was around 30. Fred Hampton was 21 when he was assassinated for dedicating his life to civil rights, class emancipation, & stopping fascism.
