   You should be able to get an arts grant for being a hot mess.

     @Njord Granted, it's how I got here, certainly.

     @HauntedOwlbear Isn't that just table stakes for working in a creative field?

     @HauntedOwlbear show your working (I don't disagree, just want some rationale)

     @DarkestKale

     Whilst it it my general policy that I refuse to justify my shitposts:

     Pretending to be normal for professional reasons is exhausting and I don't wanna.

     Last year I entirely failed to pretend to care about doing B2B assessments of CRM SaaS products, and that vibe is a lot of what's behind my recent efforts to concentrate on things that I find artistically or intellectually rewarding.

     This is fundamentally the same position as twenty-three-year-old me's "I should get a grant to hang around and look decorative while writing poetry and taking prodigious quantities of drugs" argument, I think.

     (UBI when.)
