I - 1.) Separate the art from the artist absolutely. 2.) Curate 19th and 20th century words, ideas, and aesthetics. 3.) Prefer the dark and the moody.

The following are themes in the posts I retweet: solitude, the solitary, urban grit and beauty juxtaposed with moments of human connection created by the work and performance of notable artists - mainly from the 20th century. If you like this kind of thing, give me a follow.

@annazfilm Sydney doesn't appear to care whether women like her or not. That's strike 1. She's individualistic and that upsets the woman collective and unleashes the "she's a pick me" rage. They are like a modern day posse of Abigail Williams from The Crucible screaming "witch!"
