Yes, I finally feel seen. I work in planning for a land management agency. Good job for my area, but also full of great people serving the community we live in. People who know me know I am not the enemy. But there are too many people believing that less government workers at any cost is an answer to anything.
Fantastic writing, and thank you for your service. I started in the military as a kid, so a life long public servant in multiple places. This is crazy town.
As a musician and artist, I came to realize that what I do is a public service. I could have went down the « private » or « corporate » model of performing music, but no. That’s why I’m poor as well LOL I somehow have a need to be authentic and truthful with my audience. Trust is something that I value deeply. Thank you for your post.
Well as someone who employs artists … art in service of commerce is called advertising. :) look into it… maybe it could pay the bills without selling your soul. :) my guys seem to do ok.
Thanks for your kind words and for reading. I do appreciate it.

I'm enraged too by what's going on. Just joined Indivisible.
Fascinating, spot-on piece. Thank you.
