Real

I was pleasantly surprised to stumble on mention of a musicians with disabilities night at London's Cafe Oto via The Wire magazine. Not sure how much of a network the organizers have beyond their immediate area but inter-regional coordination of such events would certainly benefit participants.

I have something which I don’t know is even envy anymore, I don’t know what it is, or how to frame it, it’s more like I just want everyone to be seen and heard and I get annoyed and angry at those who seem to take up more “space” in the creative fields, but then I’m not really annoyed at them as I know if I was successful then I’d want that attention too, well even I do want that attention, but then I don’t necessarily want the life, like you said..I don’t know my brain gets confused 😅

Love your topics ❤

Late diagnosed and middle-aged AuDHD here, and I absolutely LOVED watching this - I recognize the accompanying gestural flow of discourse as identical to my own mannerisms (incidentally I am similarly special-interested in creativity as a holistic process, having spent several years doing music journalism with that specific focus.) When I'm in the flow of discussing a particularly interesting subject I can't help but gesture because it reflects (mirrors?) the spatial organization of my thoughts (I recommend Nancy Kress's novel Beggars in Spain for the only portrayal I've found of this in fiction.) That said, having lived 98% of my life undiagnosed, I always presumed my "difference" was due to highly intelligent eccentricity - I find the majority of people boring and solipsistically preoccupied with superficial material concerns - to my mind, "weird" is their word for us and while it makes for a conveniently disarming shorthand when conversing with NTs, I've always felt it's * their * ways of being that are weird (e.g. commonplace apathy, complacency, bigotry, and wilful ignorance make no sense to me but they clearly feel entitled to those behaviours.) In my experience it takes very little effort to accept others' "unusual" behaviours as personal mannerisms which require no special labels; what's weird to me is the neurotypical tendency to arbitrarily assign negative value judgements based on them.

Yes!

I find "naming" kind of weird. Better to feel a connection and considering the "others" as part of Life and potential friends or allies. Artistically creating a web of good will is like a.. Divine power maybe? Anyway you got it my friend - good luck and thank you ✌

❤ This is s really, really good point. Thanks!

Wow this was pretty fascinating to watch

AGREED! Prior to the modern capitalist practice of remotely distributing music recordings first via broadcast then via internet, it was common for local venues to have a live house band. This is desperately needed today not only to combat the gentrification of culture but also to employ and support local musicians and local music culture. Tech companies are inadvertently helping to create the need for this by their algorithmic fiddlings that constantly push one privileged set of profitable recordings over all others: when the same top 40 playlist is the only thing one can hear wherever one goes, it starts to get pretty dull and boring for listeners. Reestablishing local arts/music events and networks ought to be the highest priority if we ever want to escape consumer capitalism's cultural illiteracy.

lol i absolutely take issue with what abbey's mom says about trending and overdiagnosis

If I've been working on something and concentrating for a long time, I feel a sudden need to do a combination of shaking my hands and flapping them;

I wrote about and referenced masking in my last essay 😅

Just from the title

Liked before even watching 😅

I love your journey

It's beautiful

I love how you almost dance as you speak in different moments.

I don't feel like this video was particularly succint or articulate and I might well record another one. But I'm thinking about this a lot in relation to performative ethics as well. This article outlines it wonderfully - pascalleroux.medium.com/narcissists-and-performative-ethics-61d572ce00d3 - and if anyone has any videos or hot takes on narcissism and need for creative success or visibility, I would really appreciate those. i remember one of the wisdom of trauma or nonduality conferernces once a conversation between Sia and Gabor Mate about the trauma-driven musician success train or something like that. I will try to find it. But if anyone else gets what I'm getting at here please let me know

This was lovely, thank you.

I'd love to have a conversation more about this as it's been something I've been grappling with too

Love the light and the shadow idea

I can totally relate to this feeling of awkwardness and overcoming this. Great video and lovely art by your friend

I struggle with this. I've not been as financially successful as some of my peers because of my reluctance to continually sell myself. I do wonder if some of my relations are right in their thinking that I should work a 9-5 job and do music "for fun like normal, responsible adults" instead of being "selfish and foolhardy" by trying to make a living doing what I love. I have wondered about some kind of communal living with other artists/musicians that could lower life's daily expenses to the point where paying my way would be much easier on what I currently bring in, rather than having to count every penny as I do at the moment. I don't have any answers but love the conversation!

You’ve applied for so much! An incredible drive you have ❤

Have you heard of Alison Stoner? She’s currently doing a series on Child Stars and how the industry affects the psychology in both the child star and the parents. She was in a lot of films as a kid, some that I watched, like Step up for example. And was in a Missy Elliott video as well. She’s a great communicator and I just thought you may want to check out her stuff. As she’s been sharing about her rejections as well. And how that impacted her as a child and young adult.

Most of my rejection things that I found hard was from the second rounds of stuff. So where I’ve got through something but then didn’t get the final thing. Those are hard. When it’s an immediate no and you don’t put time and heart and soul into it, then it’s easier to get over.

Thanks so much for sharing this. ❤tbh this is the reason I’ve often just not applied for certain things in the past. I’ve had a fair few rejections but probably no where near as many as I could have if I had applied for more stuff! I tend to only apply if I feel fairly confident I’m going to get it! Or, if it takes not much time or if I don’t have much attachment to outcome. Which to be fair…not a bad strategy. Saves time and energy. And now I’ve done mostly stuff where I’m suited to. At the same time, maybe I’ve missed out on opportunities doing this. So I think I will be a bit braver in future, and at the same time, still using intuition on what I want to do.

Looking forward to this one!

Love Steven Pressfields work!

Love Steven Pressfields Work!

They just need to exist. I love this.

100 percent about the boxes and labels thing I love how you express yourself freely and in flow and it totally relates!

Love the mystical definitely relevant and interesting!

Thanks for this conversation. It makes so much sense around nuerodiversity and attention span, that's induced by technology as well. And the need for anchoring into the world. And the need for the container of the Heart.

Thank you!
