@rhinopIasty Yeah, I’m not saying pain isn’t valid or part of creativity. My point is I think it’s an unhealthy stereotype that artists must be “fucked up” or suffering in order to create good work . We deserve to strive for good emotional health too, whilst still being creative.

Would you guys like it if I did a podcast on topics like this?

I’m a terribly slow writer! 🐌 it took too much of my time up. I think podcast or talks would be a better format for me. twitter.com/ChicaKosovo/st…

Performing in New York last night was amazing. So fun and I felt such love and goodness from you all. Creating a show that has joy at its heart is the most important thing for me!

A case against female self-hatred.
This quote really resonated with me. I often felt like being happy with myself was somehow wrong. It didn’t align with the unspoken social rules that women should never get *too* confident, lest we come across as
threatening or intimidating.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but... It’s okay to like yourself.
It’s a brave act in a society that profits off of low self-esteem by sending people the message that they are never enough as they are. That to be a confident and secure woman is a threat.

When I was younger I used to have a few friends who I would instinctively make myself smaller around to accommodate their own self esteem issues. That’s not true friendship.
Ladies (& gents) - don’t make yourself small so others can be comfortable. Fuck that.

A few weeks ago I tweeted about the stereotype of needing to be unhappy to be a good artist.
Just watched “Nanette” by comedian / hero @Hannahgadsby and she totally nails this. Her show feels very important right now. It’s on Netflix. So worth an hour of your life!

I don’t want to be aspirational.
That sounds like no fun AT ALL.

Some of the ways that women are shamed.
1773
I hope posting this list has a positive effect. Women have endured a huge amount of shame in history. It is anti-human + still deeply rooted in our thinking. But if we all know how this shaming mechanism works, we’ll have a better chance at fixing it + not falling for its traps.

I started shaving my legs and armpits from such a young age that I’ve never seen what my armpits naturally looks like.
That is, quite frankly, wild.
