trying to do a thread about Ali Wong's masterful iconography but twitter is not letting me upload images for some reason

she filmed both of her major comedy specials while pregnant, a genius move. this is from Baby Cobra, 2016
fanart of ali / baby cobra

(artists: amandawtwong, Roger Burgin, Helen Li, Juberry)
cosplay of baby cobra, it goes on and on
2nd child, 2nd special, same glasses(?), new dress
more art: Livia Cives, itsaultart, Jeff York, Papermain
2nd wave of halloween / cosplay
this is close to the peak of what one could reasonably hope to achieve with deliberate iconography – being associated with a simple object and/or motif. almost like the nike swoosh or mcdonald's golden arches

David Bowie experimented a lot with his appearance and image – you could say maybe he tried 100 styles – and of all of his looks, it's the lightning bolt – Aladdin Sane – that has become the designated Bowie Schelling point, the universal Icon
when writing an earlier tweet I found myself assuming that the lightning bolt persona was Ziggy Stardust, because that's the name I've heard most often associated with Bowie. But no, Ziggy predated Aladdin Sane, and there's a moderately iconic outfit associated with that persona
I suppose the sun(?) on the forehead was an attempt – and to be clear, people do still appreciate this. it succeeded at what he was trying to do

what's a scene or environment from a video game that makes you feel wistful and nostalgic? not a cutscene or a character or a story beat, but like, a *place*

everybody has the right to charge whatever they want for whatever services they want to provide. if you are a completely inexperienced child and you want to charge $1,000/hr for advice on how to make "phbtbttbtt" sounds, you are free to do that
you can do whatever you want. be shameless. be audacious. you don't have to let other people's negative self-talk and internalized bootlicking worship of traditional authority, gatekeepers, guilds, etc define how much your services are worth. you can let the market decide.
charging more doesn't mean you have to become some sort of ivory tower elitist. you can charge your top clients big $$ so that you can afford to provide free and discounted services to kids and underprivileged folks who need it. in a way you're redistributing the wealth

example of cultural differences: here is a comment on a Singaporean moving out of their parents’ home at 32
I believe this is significantly a consequence of postwar trauma and the associated scarcity mindset
