  • Thank your for your insight💕

    More damatic emotions get noticed more. But art can capture subtler experiences too.

    Of course, ‘everyone can be artist’. But wouldn’t the lack of the dramatic lead to a lesser chance of ‘making it big’?

    (Not that I have the desire or the skills to do that - I mean if I could spontaneously choose a super skill it would probably painting - just to probably mostly draw furry porn /jk unless)

    Pay attention to all the qualities of your experience and you’ll notice it’s not just the intense ones that have vibrancy.

    I will, once I get my brain in order. I am having a hard time recalling positive experiences right now, especially ones that are “vibrant” in any way. But I think that is the depression.

    (In my opinion everyone should try their hand at a creative hobby, no matter if classic or unconventional, and I am trying to find smething that ‘sparks joy’ but its hard right now.)





  • Interesting to compare that to the ILGA Rainbowmap which just contains Europe.

    The european countries from the list above rank as follows:

    • Netherlands 13th
    • France 15th
    • Austria 16th
    • UK 22nd (below EU average)
    • Ireland 14th
    • Iceland 3rd
    • Switzerland 18th

    Now obviously they use different scoring (‘travel’ vs ‘living there’) but I think it is interesting that they differ that much. Also the groups differ and the one from the article seems pretty broad. I would hope everywhere with substantial progress in LGBTQIA+ rights would also have proper womens rights and protections as well, since it is the same side of the (manysided) equality-coin. Imo racism is still pretty bad and widespread across europe, so not sure how much that factors into the list (though if it would be a strong factor I would be surprised to see Austria and Switzerland on this list).
