I don’t think I can overemphasize how important it is to document your artwork and the work of your community. There have always been people of different ethnicities and different sexual orientations and gender identifications involved in meaningful art and social movements, but they are largely invisible because the people who were documenting – the historians – filtered them out.
You know your friends are keepers when you have convos about lazy beauty routines, like how you only need to do the nails that show when you wear peep toe shoes and the one eyebrow that is not obscured by bangs.
