This makes sense to me. This is an artist. Someone who is aware that they can keep whipping up tornadoes of new directions without ever being depleted. That the depletion comes from the exhaustion and confusion that non-artists jam our brains with. So we can produce like milk cows and never be sure about our place. It's a shell game of moronic proportions, so let's stop playing.

This monograph. This artist. Celeste Dupuy-Spencer. A savior. I stayed up most of the night because another intrepid reporter's work has given me the final puzzle piece I needed to burn it all down.I used to think ART could Not save us. That there were too many people at Hollywood High and Artists Anon who did not get the prom queen or king back in high school and now they litigate that incelious injustice in every story they buy from people like me, who know how to tell the stories of the Lonely. We are All Lonely. Now I know ART is the only thing that will save us. And nobody--not even the Devil himself-- can stop art and truth from coming together. Because the Devil is a motherfucking MAN. And only a WOMAN could put out this dumpster fire with whatever it takes that she's got inside of her: menstrual blood, amniotic fluid, piss.Last night I posted about some of the people who have been keeping the dream alive of oligarchs continuing to use children as currency in the arts. My husband took my post down while I was sleeping. He said it was TOO incendiary for today. That we had other work to do First. But I'm a woman. I can do it all at once. Thanks. Next.
This was several years ago and I love it so much because it was utterly spontaneous and the reason I am posting it is because I just came across a piece about Michael Jackson by @traciemorrissey that I have not yet read but am about to. What's interesting is in one of the comments on Tracie's post, someone says that children were always drawn to him. And indeed my daughter, without any impressions from us, has always gone to his music, his art. The artist she orbits most the way I orbit @springsteenAnyway, my stance on child abuse of any manner is pretty rock solid, and from the vantage of a non-expert in this particular case, I have always been disturbed by the sleepovers that any adult celebrity would have with children, in such quantities over the years. The proximity in the evening when they are sleepy and just pockets of trust. Children are divinely moldable, which is why I think the best thing adults can do for them is not interfere, just be a safe place that requires nothing from the child, nothing at all. Anyway, I'll be reading @traciemorrissey 's piece with great interest.

Dear Ladies: especially Extra Cool Ladies: if your agent or husband or boss or doctor warned you about me, it's only because they're worried I'll tell you all the secrets that will free you to live utterly untrammeled and without paying them a percentage.Dear Patriarchal Pick Me Bs: You don't want my company I promise. Don't read my books. Because I know you don't want the truth. Ugh BUT I also know that you DO want me. Unfortunately for you. You want me and you need me. Because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me saying the shit I'm saying.You use words like "art", "feminism", "loyalty". I use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as your X bio. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to the women who rise and sleep under the blanket of the very freedom that I am TRYING to provide, and then question the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said "thank you", and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up your phone, and write a post. that provides other women solidarity instead of the threat of hospitalization. Either way and FRANKLY MY DEARS: I DONT GIVE A FUCKING DAMN.

Since instagram is blocking me from telling women about why I (and THREE intrepid doctors) think most miscarriages happen. I am posting here before it's too late. I always take screenshots and record. I'm the consummate reporter. My former agent should have known that about me. Jeffrey Epstein sure did. If you are with an agent and she he or they told you I needed your support, I don't. I don't need you to write me and ask me how I'm doing. If you care about ME, you'd write to me and say: thank you.@simonandschuster @avidreaderpress @bloehnen @shanesmithvice @randomhousebooks @_cherylhines @kaiagerber @penguinbooks @aaknopf @alicalliyoga @gallerybooks @librimondadori @editionsjclattes @harpersmagazine @harpercollinsbrasil @harpercollins @hachetteus @hachetteuk @bloomsburypublishing @robertfkennedyjr @macmillanusa @fsgbooks @sstossel @scholastic @officialrumbledoll @littlebrown @vintage @scribnerbooks @scribd @chronologyofwater @ladygaga @atriabooks @ballantinebooks @leithclark @celadonbooks @groveatlantic @flatiron_books @hogarthbooks @doubledaybooks @markruffalo @airmailweekly @glamouruk @mezzatorrehotel @st.john.restaurant @stmartinspress @faberbooks @w.w.norton @powellsbooks @hickorystickbookshop @politicsprose @emilydoespolitics @cliffcashcomedy @citizensimpeachment @motherjonesmag @mother_tongue_magazine @bookshop @mcnallyjackson @booksaremagicbk @godmothersbooks @elizabeth_gilbert_writer @skylightbooks @parnassusbooks @tatteredcoverbookstore @elliottbaybookco @therippedbodice @dauntbooks @villa.albertine @albertinebooks @traceyeminstudio @shakespeareandcoparis @folgerlibrary @nypl @blakelythornton

@emilybooksgould let's talk here because X is gross. I'm not on it. I won't be on here either after this weekend. So say what you want. Get it all out. Say that a woman who is fighting the patriarchy needs to go to the hospital. Maybe they should give me a pill to calm me down. I don't know what your mental health experience was, my less-talented cohort, but you also don't know mine. However I am publishing mine in my book. Emily I know you don't know how multiple global bestsellers get written but it starts with women like you thinking you have anything of value to provide to a woman like me. Go have a tall almond latte and complain about me to your little friends.

I guess I'll say it again for those in the cheap seats: If you cannot be kind to me at my worst, you may not hang from my tampon strings when I am at my best. And I am about to be the absolute very best. 💅🏻🐎

Let me say it again. Because tonight a woman with a fake political handle wrote to my husband and said she was concerned about me. My husband said, 'What? Did she do something to you?' Let me be clear for all the "concerned women" including a certain blond friend of mine who has a theory about blondes. I have a theory about blondes too. But back to Concerned Women: I am feeling and looking better than I ever have because I got rid of almost every single woman in my life who did not add value but only sucked me dry of information and gifts and kindness. I don't need your concern. I don't need you to write to my husband and pretend you know me. I don't need anybody or anything which is why I am acting like a Liberated White Man. The only people who understand the way I am acting are fellow happy people. Especially happy Black people. Because white people right now are having an extra yucky moment. White people who don't have the careers or children they want are angrier than ever. And Black people who don't have the careers or whatever they want, they have been dealing with inequity since the literal dawn of time. And how dare white people be angry right now at the level at which American white people are angry?Let me tell you how I know. My daughter is the best friend a kid could have, my husband is the best kids ski coach and the best screenwriter I have personally met bar none. They are kind and beautiful and I have been spending way too much time on other people who I didn't even like that much. And those people have been so mad at me for all the things I had this whole time. And I have the literal proof of their jealousy. Let me also be clear. Just because we are kind, it does not mean we are not as intelligent as evil people. We are, in fact, much smarter than most people can even compute. Like I told a former artist, whatever trick I may miss, my husband and daughter do not. And the three of us are utterly on the same page. Even when we're yelling at one another, we understand LOVE. This picture is a derivative from my forthcoming book cover for BEARING WITNESS. You will see everywhere. Mark my words. Or I'll have someone else do it for me.
