Little White Lies - 03.2020 - 04.2020

Empathy for your younger self projected onto a

conceptual future young person. See! Activism

harnesses the imagination!

Let’s go down this rabbit hole

I like to see what people care about, and if it

extends beyond their own narrow interests,

and, in a way, I think this all comes together

and can be seen in the work. I don‘t like to read

criticism by people who have no perspective on

the world.

I straight up don‘t read people with nothing to say

There is a mania for hyperbole at this

present moment in our culture

But that doesn‘t conceal emptiness within

That is the work, or should be

To bring it back to PYW, reason 1 of

189348958 that I love it is that it very

hyperbolic visually but it has so much inside

of it, molten fury in its hot-pink veins

SAME

I would love if the industry evolved to

conscientious point whereby the activism was

the criticism, and there was no need to channel

in your energy down a parallel highway

Like a Fabergé egg full of lava

And pelt them at unsuspecting ne’er-do-wells

Oh yes

YESSSSSS

THIS IS SO TRUE

And it’s something that actively

worries me when I write! What am I

trying to say with every piece!

Like even beyond activism, there’s just...

good journalism/criticism

Yes m8

Perhaps your TEDTalk could be a

performance art piece. You come on stage

holding armfuls of Fabergé eggs full of lava.

This is how we win

Last night I was hanging out with my

new actor friend Alejo

You would like him. He has gr8

taste in movies

<3

Sent me the Safdies’ short feat. Sandler

I was expressing to Alejo the whole dilemma

over not wanting to be defined by negative

experiences at the hands of, often, men, hence

you hold them in stubbornly

He said that when you hold them in

it defines you internally

And then we agreed that there is liberating

creative power in taking ownership of events

by telling of them

That’s what I would love to find

Anyways
