My values:
I stand for these following statements & much more.
Free Palestine
The continued destruction of Palestine, and genocide of its people by Israel is completely unacceptable. Israel does not have a right to exist and its government has committed heinous war crimes. This is not anti-semitism whatsoever, this is contempt for a government that would try to re-write history, dehumanize and kill the indigenous people of the land. I stand against thoughtless expansionism, colonialism, fascism, and bigotry.
LGBTQ+ rights are human rights
LBTQ+ rights will always be human rights. Any harassment, violence towards the LGBTQ+ community is unacceptable. Queer people have always and will continue to be.
Black lives matter
Black lives have always, and will always matter. Bigotry has no home with ThePurpleBishop.
Reproductive rights are human rights
(In our country and in the rest of the world), suppression of women's rights and attempts to control their bodily autonomy continue to be severely unjust, and cowardly. This is a human right.
Anti-discrimination/harrasment
Discrimination or harassment of any kind has no place here. (ie. violence, death threats, verbal abuse, intimidation, doxxing, etc.) These behaviors are inexcusable. Only good vibes here.
Art should be made by humans
I do not support AI-generated art. AI is a tool, and it's good at doing certain things. Art is not one of them nor should it to be. Corporate utilization of AI further tightens the financial vice grip on artists in all fields. AI art generation is an example of big corporations doing anything and everything to increase shareholder value, at low cost, with as few employees as possible. But when you remove the human worker entirely, it results in degradation of quality, and meanwhile artists see breadcrumbs of the billions made from their work.
Sorry for the rant. There are so many humans. Support your local humans! :)
As an artist, creative, and human on this earth, I stand unbendingly with these causes. If it's not your cup of tea, that is ok. However, if you can't agree with any of the above mentioned values, I may suggest discontinuation of listening to my music. I will continue to stand for justice and equity.
