For my parents generation, people born during the 1930s, mass consumption of music and other arts became the norm.
Instead of playing music being social being something that unites us, the consumption of music and art became an identity marker, a signal of status, of wealth.
And since the stories about music and the arts are written for mass consumption, they only focus on famous people, their hubris, betrayals, and their tragedies.
From cradle to grave, we have been trained as commodified people, taught the pseudo-science of Social Darwinism as self-evident human nature.
The isolation of relentless competition for status and wealth now defines many relationships, and so define arts.
For thousands of years most art was folk art, that was its purpose, its function; it was already naturally “democratized”.

"What I do want to scream is that a strike is not a spell... Power concedes nothing without a demand—and that demand is not a word, not a spell. It is a strike"
I skimmed this essay before I realized who wrote it, but the author (Tabitha Arnold) makes stunning textile art

30 inches wide makes it a little slow going because it’s a bit awkward reaching that far. I’m using the big shuttle so I don’t have to wind bobbins so frequently. These will be bath towels to match the hand towels I made a few months ago.

@justmichelle The problem is, that people who say "you should sell that" actually mean well, they mean it as a compliment. They don't understand that it is an insult to the universe to imply that something only has value if it can make you money; that money is the only valid measure of worth.
My father made me show this to a friend of his. She promptly said "You should sell these."
What the fuck is wrong with people?
Yarn ~$100. Can't remember how much for the pattern. Hours? Untold. Bite me. Cold dead hands. Though actually they would be warm hands because this shawl is a beast.
