Brunni (brunnicorsato)

After a 47 days posting here consistently, I lost my streak here in the channel. 🥲 My husband's fighting covid since last week and between taking care of him, walking our dogs alone and going to the drugstore for extra supplies, I simply didn’t even remember Farcaster was a thing. It's silly, it's just a number but... it also made me a little sad. 🤷‍♀️ Today I'm trying not to get too attached to that and I'll be back on my (slow) game once covid is out of the picture!

When friends and family come to visit me, I always show them the playgrounds we have around Berlin. It blows their minds without fail. Today I came across this channel on arena, collecting this underrated facet of the city. https://www.are.na/meg-miller/berlin-playgrounds

Hey sloth friends (stealing this @naomiii hehe), I've slowly but surely adding some stuff to a board on Arena dedicated to Slowcore, just a place to dump findings that might be related to what we talk about here and how to better embody it. I made the board green, which means anyone on Arena can add blocks to it. Feel free to have a look and add blocks if you feel called. Anything goes! Memes, articles, random tweets or casts or even just a link. I would love to see it creating a life of it own hehe https://www.are.na/bruna-corsato/slowcore

Me: Oh, I'll take it slow this summer Also me: organizes a creator hackathon, plans a wedding, hosts family from abroad, doubles down on side projects, takes up roller blading, goes camping every other weekend, picks up writing projects 🤡 Also on my mind: how do we cultivate the inner resources to really slow down?

Been sitting on this for a while! After the latest Nerd Notes from @danicaswanson, it's time I share my thoughts on the starving artist __ There’s a lot of glorification around the struggling artist archetype but what most people don’t see is how hard it is to be creative when you’re stressed about rent. This narrative keep us starved and divided, while ironically tucked away on a pedestal. Committing to art is cool and aspirational, as long as it's a struggle. The moment you make it, you sell out - whatever that means. I can feel the itch to type KILL THE STARVING ARTIST, proverbial Molotov in imaginary hand, WHO’S WITH ME?!, but I pause. It’s too easy to blame the artist - the poor bastard is so overworked and underpaid they can’t even fight back. We need a shift in perspective, a radical way to go about things. New myths to tell the tale of the artist. But before we venture into world building, let us feed the starving artist. Then, and only then, can we begin to build a different reality.

From the Slow Folk newsletter, by Stacey Langford: “I wondered if maybe Slowness is actually only for the privileged. Was I an ignorant privileged twat all these years, rattling on about the benefits of Slowness? Who gives a fuck about Slow Living if you have to be at work by 7:15 in the morning and no one in the goddamn house has clean underwear? Do you need money to live Slow? Was that why we managed?” This line of thought is adjacent to the starving artist conversation. I want to believe we don’t ~~need money to live slow, and also been thinking a lot about how to cultivate said slowness even in the face of lack of resources such as time and money, or under the pressures of structural dynamics like hustle culture. I have the feeling the answer to this will be first individual, then spread to small groups (like we’re doing here) before it catches momentum and grows outside bubbles. https://open.substack.com/pub/slowfolk/p/six-months-in-the-fast-lane
