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.
OPP, Other People's Politics
October 23, 2018
Ally returns! And she kinda stole my old haircut.
ALLY
Dramatic reveal!
====
KANE
Whoa.
BODIE
Who is this confident woman strutting in here rocking a new doo?
====
ALLY
It?s my newly-single-ran-out-of-fucks-to-give lewk.
====
BODIE
Wait, really? But you and Annie were my truest of true OPTs!
ALLY
Yeah. Well??
====
Our schedules were really out of wack. I?m not a Spring chicken anymore so I couldn?t manage to stay up late enough to see her off shift. And she slept all day so like I never saw her during regular Ally hours.
====
Also, bee tee dubs, don?t mix politics and partnerships. We fought, sure, but it just got worse and worse and we?d say hurtful things that we didn?t really mean but kinda really meant. It just got so, so ugly.
====
So yeah. Starting over. Trying something new.
Gotta go all Moira Adler on life, take control of my destiny!

BODIE
Moira? Wait, Kane, did you ?
KANE
I? may have showed Ally an episode of Raging Detective Goji. Or two.
====
ALLY
We binged all seven seasons!
