Ginger beer... I'll take it on the patio please... you have a patio right?
Sometimes when I'm sitting in a meeting, hearing about how a team did a creative project that one wealthy group is doing to try and attract the attention of another wealthy group, I wonder if I'm in the right job. It's like I can feel my soul withering. I'm happy that these creative people are doing creative activities, but if it's only in service of capitalism, and not about self-expression, it feels gross.
I like beautiful things and spaces and experiences, but I feel like the creativity is undercut when the end product is being sold instead of shared, or when it's created for a persona and not a person.
I know I sound like a whiny socialist undergrad, but...
...sips drink and stares into the distance...
if you work in private sector it always will be about profit and grow
health care, education maybe?

We do. Will be open until later October when the temperatures in Nightfall will start to go down by a lot.

It must feel strange when creativity becomes a tick box exercise. It's like removing the substance.
Here's your ginger beer!
