idk, it really sucks to see lectures on how "anyone can do art if they practice" from people who gleefully say that they hate math/science and that they refuse to go near it. like I'm not saying that everyone has to be good at math, but like, as someone who does both it's really weird and uncomfortable seeing the difference in how people talk about these things. "do it bad" should apply to science fairs just as much as it does to painting

#like obviously barring poor scientific ethics and stuff #but like. idk man. you dont have to be a master of calculus to enjoy a little number puzzle #and on the flip side you should also acknowledge that there *is* a certain level of inherent ability to art #like. i like to make things. but im AWFUL at coming up with ideas. im simply not a creative person!#i function best when theres a problem to be solved!#its a lot of why i like sewing - its easy for me to be prompted to recreate something ive seen in plush form #the 'creativity' is me figuring out how to represent something in a new medium #rather than coming up with an idea de novo #and its frustrating to see 'everyone is creative it came free with your humanity' when thats. not the case #anyways. dissertation writing is going great ive been staring at the same page for hours now 👍
