🧵Ive mentioned that I had kept a video journal. I started it in March of 2020 because I couldn’t write. It tapered off as I started to share things on YouTube. I just came across a long entry that I’d filed away in my google drive. It was made the first week in June 2020
after the looting began. That also happens to be when I began really using my twitter account. If you search for my name and Soho you’ll see why. I was livid that an NYU professor was excusing the violence down there as a product of “racial capitalism.” This is part of the entry

What I had said to the professor. Nope. She’s never bothered replying. Of course not.

Artists, of all people, know that masks were never a zero cost or even a low cost solution.
This means that either artists have knowingly caused harm and encouraged causing harm on a level that is highly disturbing and one hopes wasn’t don’t consciously or -
that those who claim to be artists and claim to be qualified to speak on or direct discussion from an artistic perspective; but historically and psychologically are in fact not qualified AT ALL to be doing so. In other words they’re not artists. They’re administrators and/or
