Massive Attack dares to say something in a performance. What a beautiful thing. Surveillance via Flock cameras, Ring, AI, etc. is kinda spooky.

When creation becomes compulsory driven by the prospect of profit, you’re likely closer to the product than the golden goose.

In an age of endless content, perfected social feeds, stimulation at our fingertips and poorly evolved biology, it's easier than ever to be jealous. Or enraged. Or disaffected. You get the idea.

What was that? Just dropped and woohoo, it’s a big week to be a Lorde fan.

Severance, Dead Internet, and the Dehumanization of Corporate Culture  I have very much enjoyed Severance season 2 and cannot help but draw parallels to today's dead internet and general class divide based on the ownership versus working class.

Lady Gaga's Abracadabra could not have come at a better time. I've been thinking a lot about how what we consume and how we absorb it directly influences how we show up in our communities. So much of the heaviness of today's climate can feel paralyzing but this song is such a beacon of acknowledged hope. I love pop music and woohoooooo I'm so so excited for Mayhem 🖤 Referenced links and videos: https://www.elle.com/uk/life-and-culture/culture/a63631038/lady-gaga-abracadabra/ https://genius.com/34441711 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBynw9Isr28 \https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ilWz_xfPWho https://apple.news/AZLbHxrLjT-uuW0G3N4dbXw Listen to Kattle Considerations on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11FX5G68eYPdSlnrZYq7To?si=c10ebb89d0a842ff Find me elsewhere: https://linktr.ee/katebrunotts Spotify (Music): https://open.spotify.com/artist/1vV2HAeSNkp97JK2tPpEoN?si=vjGI6UlqSMa0G8ReQieLeQ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katebrunotts/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@katebrunotts

One of the greatest paradoxes as an artist is finding the will and way to sustain yourself all while keeping that dream alive. While I do think there's a place for manifestation and unbridled optimism when it comes to art, I see so many folks become discouraged or misguided by a belief that creation in itself will bring them immediate success. Holding a day job isn't about putting your art in the backseat, it's understanding that in order to create to your highest capacity, you have to take care of you first, especially in a generally hostile atmosphere monetarily speaking for the bulk of working artists in today's day and age. Let me know your thoughts!
