if only people could find the same outrage for the dwp declaring literal dead people as fit to work as they can for the government telling Fatima the fictional ballerina that when she ages out of her chosen profession a rewarding career awaits her in the digital economy if she so chooses :(

#‘this just PROVES the the tories hate the arts!!!!!’#and this whole uproar just proves I hate a substantial portion of the arts community #the tone is bad the message is wrong I get it #but the response to this has exposed the middle to upper class EXEPTIONALIST BULLSHIT than runs through the arts #‘the arts community is highly trained and have worked long and hard and it’s not just a job it’s a CALLING.#we contribute so much to society and what we do is so important. not like stacking shelves in a supermarket.’#OH IS THAT RIGHT? YOU FUCKING TRY IT THEN!!!#working class people: reskill and refrain as a life skill cause food on the table is the primary concern and we follow the money #*retrain #or we end up at a food bank and hopes and dreams have to be countered by harsh reality EVERY DAY #artists: were already skilled why would we ever do anything else to earn money??? that’s ludicrous??? dyou think we’re poor or something???#cuntery EXPOSED #grassroots community arts know successive govts hate them cause they’ve been eviscerated for years #I think the royal ballet will be alright. I think the Tate modern got some money and made half its staff redundant anyway.#I think I’d rather throw a pound in the river Clyde than watch the Glasgow school of art use it to burn down the same building twice #and create a racist classist environment that makes your skin physically crawl with discomfort! tbh!#follow your dreams Fatima!! don’t you dare get a temp job over Xmas for some extra cash since your industry has crashed like a NORMAL person #in a NORMAL industry!!! that’s like saying you want dance to die forever!!! you’re too special to work at Asda over Xmas during a pandemic!!
