Congratulations on this! Well done!

Yikes. The American version of the Yevsetskaya episode is accelerating faster than thought.

Shroedinger’s race indeed 👏

I knew once my ‘best friends’ in Seattle turned their back, that the jig was up. (I dropped out of engineering for a minute and did production design for a feminist theater collective).

Well, to be fair, we left in 2010. My husband and I are both in construction type jobs (architect and engineer) and the company he worked for closed and I couldn’t find work on the west side of the cascades (got a job at the Hanford cleanup, I do structural/environmental). I cried over having to leave Seattle. Now I’m so grateful.

But yes. It hasn’t really been a place artists could afford in decades. My friends lived in hives like bees - in their 30s at the time.

Your last paragraphs hit with a sonic boom. I haven’t been able to paint in a year. Thanks for the (loving) kick in the ass.
