for my
work
Do you think a blog is worth starting and what topics should
I indulge myself? If it contributes and aligns with your creative process, direction, and vision, then yes. I feel visual aids, that are well done, could set you apart as a designer who is conscious about accessibility and shit. For the blog, I feel it could possibly be too many things, unless it kinda more so feels like journal entries or something very personal. I could see it having your handwritten notes scanned in and overlayed, or some shit that just feels like it’s actually you.
What if its focused on design scaffolding, idea development, written archives related to/discussing artistic inspiration from journeys, and my turning political ideas to praxis?

COGNIZANT of the lack of attention span amongst readers at large, the following disclaimers provide a warning and clear understanding of my position on this political matter and its discourse.
1 I believe in bodily autonomy as long as your autonomy is treated with respect and all living forms are treated with those same standards of respect.
2 I believe in reducing death and harm as much as possible, and do believe in avoiding abortion as much as possible.
3 Modern medical systems are not advanced enough to allow for last-minute life-saving interventions for the person giving birth.
4 Western systems of governance do not care about rights in general, and specifically in discussion of women’s lives
5 All members of a group should have an opinion in the discussion of their future populace and moral/ethical center.
5B That being said, silence is golden and there is a hierarchy on discussion on issues concerning health. This commentary will not and should not be used as a voice that takes away from the voices who matter, but is a critique on the western commodification, ignorance, and hypocrisy in discussing this issue.
This anti-indigenous anti-environmental notion that giving birth to more generations takes away from the resources is ill-founded. In your creation, you are a resource. Your labor, your growth, and your efforts are a resource. This is being slowly diminished and forgotten. Data shows that it isn’t overpopulation that will be the death of us. rather population collapse as we engage with these wealth schemes pushed on peaceful and civil societies by the warring tribalism of Europe. Rather than viewing your children as an agent for change, you m your pessimistic expectation of failure on them before birth.
Socialization, community, compassion, and justice.
These are the key elements and concepts necessary to raise a child. When done correctly, an adult capable of restructuring negative norms and behavior emerges.
There is no argument that costs of living have increased. The corporate vacuum of mega conglomerates purchasing real estate is also an ever-growing issue. However, rather than giving up on your collective ability to fix the issues, you have given up on humanity itself.
That being said we don’t only engage in sex for reproduction but also fulfillment. An argument can also be made that our society becomes ever the more hyper-sexualized as the lack of fulfillment grows. A victim of its own thinking, western notions of sex fluctuate. These waves of hyper- or hypo-sexuality can be seen in pro and anti-sex thinking in both individual dissonances because of misguided religious dogmas and on a societal level, where discussion peaks around their election years and political games. These sinusoidal patterns are exacerbated by rapidly shortening media cycles and the push for instant gratifation that pervades every fiber of their society. The liberal view around sex drains it from any scientific or spiritual discussion. It becomes a policy, platform, and chant. And much like all else that they act religiously about, they are more obsessed with the words and feelings associated with intercourse than the act itself. It is a submission to the dance of mating that boosts ego through a false sense of superiority.
On the contrary, promoting a nuclear family setup within households is a conservative ideal and ultimate aim. This view is one of many “memoricides” our modern world commits against the communal relationships that wraised generations past. Collective memory and communal management a anecdotally se of the greatest alleviators of single motherhood, divorce rates, and abortion.
