People who prefer ketchup over mustard are annoying because as soon as you say you like mustard, they go on and on about how much they hate it. Like, okay. You have the same flavor palette you had when you were 5 but that doesn’t mean you should insult what I put in my coffee.

Literary Nerd Rambling
Just rambling, I dont have any insights here just talking.

But I think the term "seperate the art from the artist" has gained a new meaning of "dont let problematic creators infringe on my enjoyment of a work"
perhaps that is unfair of me, but if that is the case that comes across as giving up responsibility and my freedom to be wrong.

Though I think the ideal or democratizing interaction with art is a good one.

In other words even if the artist or author did not intend it that way the reader, viewer, or other groups who have a different interpretation have validity in discussion.
This puts a tremendous amount or responsibility on the individual because it means there is no higher authority of appeal your view is valid but so are other people's views.
In which case it can become a question of who can make a better argument (which is problematic).
Literary Nerd Rambling
My big issue with how people discuss seperatint the art from the artist is that the term has been appropriated from its original intent so heavily.
The original idea was part of the post modernist movement's attmepts to argue the validity of discussing art and literature through personalized context.
In that way while the creator's views have value they dont obviate other perspectives and opinions

Job search, boost please!
Time for #JobSearch 2023 Round 2. Please help me with this however you can! I'm doing what I can on my end, but recommendations/referrals do help a lot and I'm really trying to make a big push to snag *something* since we really need it over here. 
- Comp sci degree
- 1.5 years as a software test engineer
- Python and NodeJS are my relevant languages, but I'm a fast learner and know a few others as well
- Same field, full stack web dev, or dev ops stuff is right up my alley
- Looking for remote, but can commute (Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN, USA)
- I'm a trans woman, so clear acceptance/queer coworkers are a huge plus
Entry level would be best, I don't have enough work experience for most places to look at me mid-level. DM for a resume or any questions, take a look at my site for some examples of things I do!

Tbh, if you wanna learn programming, don't jump into the toxic pit that is StackOverflow, join furry mastodon and write things like:
"Can someone help me, I am trying to learn NodeJS 👉 👈 🥺 "
and you will most likely receive help

Oh yeah. I draw TF sometimes. I almost forgot.
Also very rusty at drawing, this took me all day...

🐡: Inflation
The /easy/ part is huffing. Knowing your limits so you can deflate? Not so much.
He’ll get the hang of it. Eventually. Hopefully. 👀

Twitter definitely getting that nearly dead mall kind of feeling where it’s like yeah there are still a few places I want to go to but remember when it was just fun to hang out there instead of vaguely creepy?

"Son can you play me a memory~? ♫”
Pianos don’t really work that way. Can you at least describe-
“I'm not really sure how it goes~ ♫”
FUCK.
“But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete when I wore a younger man's clothes~ ♫”
Mike, you’re 32. Anyways, here’s Wonderwall.
