Feels like a good time to remind certain people that this is coming from Judith Butler, who is not just a leading feminist philosopher, but also THE COFOUNDER OF QUEER THEORY

Music - the art of song

i am kinda peeved out that I can't enjoy most student art films from high profile art schools because of the statistics around black artists being in the low percentage often due to systemic barriers. it's another form of oppression I see rarely discussed. I do see a lot of black animators and the like but they are either indie or had to put in the work to even get in these schools and industry as a whole.

growing up there weren't much black characters to latch onto, and when they did exist, they did fall under stereotypes or were side characters to the often (white) main characters. even as a kid I picked up the scraps cuz it's all I wanted, but scraps shouldn't be good enough for black creatives, especially black children.
