Earnest millennial choice for muse: John Keating (of course). Part II: I *just* re-watched the trailer for Women Talking, and am taking this as a sign to commit to watching it. There's a whole lot of rigor in Hawke's Wildcat/Maya Hawke's Flannery O'Connor that shook me just right (it took the place of WT last night).
Secondarily, or, whatever godforsaken point I'm on now, I've been feeling a lack of rigor lately. Like I have a soft brain or something. Perhaps though it's just moment's lull, or just part of the process. You always bring the right challenges to the fore, just when I need them.
okay okay okay okay, now YOU'RE giving ME the sign to watch wildcat, because it's been on my list for months and i also would love to be shook just right!
i relate to feeling rigor-lack. i actually read a whole bunch of substack essays today that i felt defined this concept in robust, interesting ways, and i realized part of the rigor i'm desperate for is simply just time and space. to read and think and let my multiple input streams cross-pollinate. sometimes doing nothing is rigorous. going into the weekend with that thought/hope, wish me luck lol.
thanks for sharing your thoughts with me, i always look forward to them and love to hear what you think! xx
I have been nonstop thinking about rigor when it comes to my art, which makes me really curious to know what the practical application of rigor in your art looks like these days. Would love to see a piece on what it looks like to sacrifice speed or safety or certainty.
i'm not kidding you when I say reading "would love to see a piece on..." THRILLS me. i love an assignment. my heart is fluttering, will get to work and report back. xx

I'm looking forward to it!
Art rigor hits different and even teaching fitness in a current timeline, I am DESPERATE for my next chance to sit down.

Another earnest millennial 🫶
