Artists should continue creating despite the devaluation of the arts.

#WritersCoffeeClub Aug. 28: How do we defend ourselves as artists when the arts are devalued? Counter-attack. Mock, belittle, satirise, and despise the individuals and movements trying to devalue art. And carry on making great art despite their idiocy.

#WritersCoffeeClub Aug 28: How do we defend ourselves as artists when the arts are devalued? Better question: Who is devaluing the arts? No one I know. Anyone you know? Stop listening to those who tell you arts are worthless. They're busy throwing cars and pop stars into space. We're busy creating entire worlds and technologies that they can't imagine, but will quite happily take advantage of once they arrive. Arts *are* the future. #Writing #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #WritersofMastodon

#WritersCoffeeClub 28: How do we defend ourselves as artists when the arts are devalued? As others have said, we keep creating. We make art. We value each other's art. We keep on keeping on. Create.
