I really feel this. When we don't experience acute worries as a society and enjoy the noble-/grimbright life, we tend to think of art as something that 'merely' entertains and touches hearts. Beautiful and welcome, but not necessarily saving lives - at least not on a collective scale.

Creatives, listen up.

I know it sucks. I know it's hard.

But art isn't about making things when it's easy and good and comfy.

Art is rebellion. Art is rage. Art is protest. Art is political fire.

Write it. Draw it. Sculpt it. Build it. If you cannot find the joy, do it out of spite and fury.
