As an artist, one thing that consistently bothers me is how creative skills are valued differently in wealthy countries than they are in developing countries.
I work at a craft store, and the number of ornaments and statues that say they were ��hand painted’ or ‘handmade’ makes me dizzy. Someone had to assemble and/or paint these often intricate decorations only for some white woman to buy them half-off for like $3.
If you were to buy a hand-painted statue from an American creator on Etsy? It’s priced fairly for the time and materials that went into it, and the person that created it is getting at least 60-70% profit after material and site fees (please correct me if that estimate is inaccurate).
All of those cheap shirts and dresses from Shein are handmade, but it’s not valued nearly as much as the artists and creators they often steal from. This is obviously not the fault of either the independent artists or factory workers creating these, but the corporation that cheapens these creations from both a material and creative standpoint. Not only are you buying a piece of clothing made from as cheap of materials possible that is bad for the environment and incentivizing the mistreatment of the workers who made them, but you are also belittling the artistry that goes into creating intricate, quality pieces of clothing by smaller creators.
Many of us do not have the skill to create our own clothing, and we are impressed meeting people who tell us their outfit is in fact handmade with raw fabric and a sewing machine. But still factory workers who cut and sew hundreds of pieces of clothing a day are viewed as (or at the very least treated like) unskilled workers.
And of course this ties into the broader conversation of how many occupations we consider “unskilled” make up the BACKBONE of our society. If the apocalypse began tomorrow, the most valued skills would include farming, construction, and medical treatment (noting how nurses are underpaid and overworked despite how like 80% their schooling is the same as doctors).
I wanna leave this off with a video I saw a while ago that stuck with me and really planted the seed in my mind for this rant. It features a Chinese man who spends his life painting stroke-for-stroke replicas of The Starry Night to be sold overseas. He quite literally paints like one of the most famous artists of all time, and hasn’t even seen a Van Gogh original in person (at the time of filming, but it looks like he has finally made it to Europe in recent years).

It saddens me, but we should all fight to break the cycle of exploitation until everybody is free from oppression, exploitation, and wage slavery.

Did you know ?
In China, the frog has long been associated with water and rain. Frogs acted as messengers of floods and formed the retinue of the Prince of the River. Since it was believed that frog eggs fall to the ground along with rain or dew, frogs were also called “heavenly hens” (“tien-chi”).

🇺🇲 Explore the fascinating journey of the iconic ThinkPad! Originally introduced by IBM in 1992, the ThinkPad quickly became synonymous with innovation, reliability, and cutting-edge technology.
💼 Designed for professionals on the go, the ThinkPad's signature black design, red TrackPoint, and durable build set it apart from the competition. ThinkPad was initially developed by a team led by Arimasa Naitoh, who drew inspiration from the traditional Japanese bento box for its design.
💻 Over the years, the ThinkPad underwent several transformations, adapting to the ever-changing landscape of technology. From the classic clamshell design to convertible tablets and ultrabooks, each iteration pushed the boundaries of what a laptop could achieve. The butterfly keyboard introduced on the ThinkPad 701C in 1995 was named one of the "25 Greatest PCs of All Time" by PC World.
🚀 Since the early 2000s, ThinkPads have been a trusted companion for astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS). ThinkPads have been instrumental in assisting astronauts with various tasks onboard the ISS, including data analysis, communication with mission control, and conducting scientific experiments.
💾 Despite changing hands from IBM to Lenovo in 2005, the ThinkPad's commitment to quality and innovation remained unwavering. Under Lenovo's stewardship, it continued to thrive, evolving with the times while staying true to its heritage.The iconic red TrackPoint remains a staple feature across generations, beloved by users for its precision and ease of use.
🌟 Today, the ThinkPad remains a symbol of excellence in the world of computing, beloved by professionals and enthusiasts alike for its reliability, performance, and timeless design. From business executives to tech enthusiasts, it became the go-to choice for anyone seeking performance and versatility.
