For most of this summer, I’ve had really intense burnout like I’ve never had before. Everything I’ve sat down at my desk, ive just felt exhausted, restless, and not inspired at all. After a big project that I’d been working on for a year fell through, I’ve been a bit reluctant to want to start painting again. I’m starting to feel motivated again after a month of choosing stop forcing it, which was harder than I thought but much needed. This is the first piece in a few months that I genuinely enjoyed the process. Glad to be back at my desk after a hiatus and hope to be sharing more paintings again soon

Drag me if you want but I feel like a major problem with liberal/Western gender ideology is that it’s so focused on aesthetics. Like “Look at me, I’m defying gender norms by wearing a dress/suit/makeup/whatever.” Like okay but what about defying gender norms via the breakdown of behaviour? What about acknowledging things like male entitlement, aggression, perceived weakness and submissiveness, the expectation of women to perform emotional labour etc. If we don’t actively work to break down oppressive and dangerous gender stereotypes, what is the point? Defying gender norms and identities can’t just be limited to clothing, hair, and makeup
