This video is sort of a subtweet about some art twitter discourse. But I wanted to respond in video form rather than in written form so that you wouldn't misinterpret my words. Also not linking the discourse directly because I don't want to dogpile on the inspiration for my thoughts. But here are three ideas that I wanted to share with artists for us to keep in our brains as we go into the new year.
Don't Shit Where You Eat
October 30, 2018
It's pretty cynical and fatalistic to not start something just because it might fail. I mean, the entire ethos of starting your own business is to just fuckin' do it. Why shouldn't this extend to relationships?
BODIE?s EYES
J?accuse!

Kane only breaks out the ?Goji and Chill? tactic for special occasions.
Did you two become a thing? WITHOUT TELLING ME?

ALLY and KANE
Whu?No.

BODIE
Mmm hmmmm.

Breaking up with Annie, I dunno. It brought a lot of weird shit up that I hadn?t thought about before. I just needed some dumb, brain off time, you know.

ALLY
My Destiny clan is really Annie?s Destiny clan so shooting the mans wasn?t a great idea. You two are the only other people I hang out with.

ALLY
Misery loves company and all that so I called Kane.
KANE
And nothing is better at making your brain dumb than off-brand pseudo kaiju.

BODIE
Good. Then we don?t have to dissolve our company.
KANE
What?

BODIE
Don?t shit where you eat.
ALLY
What?

Look, if you guys wanted to date while we were still at Pendaticorp, that would have been fine. That place was so damn big, if you broke up you could avoid each other until you both retired.
====
BODIE
But there?s only three of us. And not saying that you guys would break up. I mean, I could kinda see you guys together or whatever. But if you ever broke up, I don?t think our trio could handle the drama. I?d like to think we?re all adults, but realistically, it?d be rough.
