A struggling artist trying to make it. Sometimes I'll indulge in fandom amidst artwork postings and sketches. Actually most of the time. Also, I apparently have a lot of feelings about racism and sexism.

Current shows I'm watching are Nikita, Hawaii Five-O, The Walking Dead, Elementary, probably more to come as long as people of color are represented.

Anti white washing, anti white privilege, anti racism, anti sexism, anti all other isms...people just need to be decent people.

Wow theatre companies, is it like, a contest to see who can pull the most racist shit right now?

Blackface in Clybourne Park,

the non existence of Chinese people in The Nightingale, set in China,

casting 14 out of 17 major roles for Chinese characters to WHITE actors in The Orphan of Zhao, a freaking classic Chinese play,

of the remaining three, two dogs and a maid, go to actors of actual East Asian descent.


fuck all y’all. seriously.
