No Quarter Will Be Given@chaedria·
Some of you have asked about my experience at the Guggenheim as the first Black curator, woman & creator of the Basquiat exhibition. I'm still super proud of it. Working at the Guggenheim w/ Nancy Spector & the leadership was the most racist professional experience of my life.

Thing people don't realize about DiCaprio yet is that in ten years he's gonna be like the advanced form of how people perceive Tom Cruise now. He's gonna be **Mr. Cinema**

@chaedria The intolerant left is just as sanctimonious as the intolerant right. Timmy's sin was making a flippant remark and for that they've collectively excoriated him. I'm a liberal who is disgusted by that type of behavior. I loathe groupthink.

I don't like that this normalizes that ppl should be institutionally bullied and humiliated when they don't perform/think accordingly, but actual abusers walk amongst you w/no shame? It's all fun and games until it's you and everyone's in on it, cos it's "just what you do"

Timothée proorly expressed his thoughts on ballet and dancers. So the Oscars wacked him for that. But at the same time, he got too much heat compared to other people who have actually done bad things in Hollywood.

I truly am not capping for Timmy or anybody. I hate celebrity culture. I don't care for celebrities. Actors are laborers, that's why they're in unions. I do not like the undercurrents and subtexts of what I'm seeing, and frankly, Im usually right

I took this off paywall, but it's a v short piece about celebrity being a poor stand-in for community. I think what I share later will add more context to my thoughts about this, but I'm bothered by how much we lust for our turn to be bullies. curatingbasquiat.substack.com/p/youre-not-an…

I don't have to like him to know that this is DANGEROUS. What do you mean the Oscars -- an institution w/i an institution that can barely maintain relevance -- is co-signing institutionally bullying on the world's stage? And....we're clapping??

Publishers say they want "fresh voices." What they mean is they want the exact same voice, but from someone who already has 200,000 followers so they don't have to do any actual marketing.

@chaedria Unfortunately Hollywood (black Hollywood as well) has been this way for years. It’s a club; act/speak accordingly or you’re out. There’s no room for mistakes; that’s what PR/media training is for. They’ll welcome you back IF you have an interesting redemption story.

@RashmanTheHorse lol totally narcissism and in my opinion is a consequence of a loss of collectivized identity, a home, so people are clearly seeking out these corporate productions to fulfill said loss. tragic all around lmao x.com/queersocialism…
josh!@queersocialism

i had this convo recently about why representation remains such a focal point in the cultural zeitgeist. and i can’t come up w/any other reason as to why that is except it being important to people who otherwise lack in their life the very thing in need of being represented!
