yeah..
what's the grant you think MB should go for?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:43pm
solo mon:

Agree LL. This is cathartic. Art interpretation of life experience and vice versa at this point. The feedback loop is getting shorter.
Avatar 5:44pm
Linda Lee:

let's not forget that life experience is also manufactured to a good extent.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:45pm

It’s an art grant called regional arts council. They are small grants but good to get your feet wet or get your chest wet as Jan would say.

Right?! Perception of norm or perception of anything is just that!

What the studios for got was that the "exploitation" part was about the audience and the money they spent going to see movies where people that looked like them were repped onscreen

i think we fall pretty naturally into cooperation when it matters & when we're not being driven to conflict for political reasons. think of what hapens in natural disasters. no question. when it matters, we do it. that's our nature.
