6th: i like artists that say ‘like’ too much cuz i do that too and even though ive tried 2 change i dont think i can
7th: u know, i just want to apologize for ever wearing a bindi
to be honest, my step dad and step brothers are from india and some of that stuff just kind of became normal because i grew up with it. like my mom and step dad had a traditional hindu wedding where they made me wear a sari and stuff. my step dad was stoked on the bindi so i never really questioned it.
and when ur just chilling around town you dont think of the stuff you wear having repercussions outside of the reality of ur day to day life and its difficult to grasp the fact that stuff i do gets viewed by people i dont know on the internet and all that. but yeah, there is a fine line between homage and appropriation.
I just wasn’t thinking. I feel like we live in this weird zone where because of the internet everything is being appropriated without context and it can result in really original and diverse art. but it also seems to result in uninformed and therefore disrespectful things.
I dunno. I just want to say that I feel bad. i stopped doing it a while ago but its been nagging at me and i wish to apologize <3
hopefully i haven’t offended anyone. well, actually i know for a fact that I have offended some people. So, i am sorry.

16th: If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber’d here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to ‘scape the serpent’s tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.

23rd: I don’t want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living
i dont want my words to be taken out of context
i dont want to be infantilized because i refuse to be sexualized
i dont want to be molested at shows or on the street by people who perceive me as an object that exists for their personal satisfaction
i dont want to live in a world where im gonna have to start employing body guards because this kind of behavior is so commonplace and accepted and I’m pissed that when I express concern over my own safety it’s often ignored until people see firsthand what happens and then they apologize for not taking me seriously after the fact…
I’m tired of men who aren’t professional or even accomplished musicians continually offering to ‘help me out’ (without being asked), as if i did this by accident and i’m gonna flounder without them. or as if the fact that I’m a woman makes me incapable of using technology. I have never seen this kind of thing happen to any of my male peers
I’m tired of the weird insistence that i need a band or i need to work with outside producers (and I’m eternally grateful to the people who don’t do this)
im tired of being considered vapid for liking pop music or caring about fashion as if these things inherently lack substance or as if the things i enjoy somehow make me a lesser person
im tired of being congratulated for being thin because i can more easily fit into sample sizes from the runway
im tired of people i love betraying me so they can get credit or money
I’m sad that it’s uncool or offensive to talk about environmental or human rights issues
I’m tired of creeps on message boards discussing whether or not they’d “fuck” me
I’m tired of people harassing my dancers and treating them like they aren’t human beings
I’m sad that my desire to be treated as an equal and as a human being is interpreted as hatred of men, rather than a request to be included and respected (I have four brothers and many male best friends and a dad and i promise i do not hate men at all, nor do i believe that all men are sexist or that all men behave in the ways described above)
im tired of being referred to as ‘cute,’ as a ‘waif’ etc., even when the author, fan, friend, family member etc. is being positive
(fyi)
waif |wāf|
noun
1 a homeless and helpless person, esp. a neglected or abandoned child: she is foster-mother to various waifs and strays .
• an abandoned pet animal.
cute |kyo͞ot|
adjective
1 attractive in a pretty or endearing way: a cute kitten.
• informal sexually attractive.
I’m tired of people assuming that just because something happens regularly it’s ok
——————————————————
i have so much love for everyone who has been cool and amazing. I have the best job in the world but I’m done with being passive about any kind of status quo that allows anyone to suffer or to be disrespected
Grimes world tour is officially over, the visions album cycle is officially over, and I’m now taking the time to overhaul everything and make it better
much love to every fan - stuff can be lame sometimes but its really cool to have this support <3

23rd: and just for everyone who is expressing concern about a few things that weren’t super clear in my last tumblr post:
a) meeting fans is actually incredibly rewarding for me so im gonna keep doing that and if u see me on the street its like, totally fine to say hi :)
b) i am still making music - but im gonna start working on a new album instead continuing to tour off visions
——> again, i want to apologize because we never hit south/central america, brazil, eastern europe etc. on tour. these will be priorities for the next record.
c) ALSO - i wrote what i wrote below not to complain or make anyone sad, but because i feel like if its possible to not accept stuff i hate and live a comfortable life then i want to do it :) in a broader sense, ideally stereotyping of any kind is something that can eventually be overcome or at least minimized. the fact that the response to this has been almost entirely positive is amazing and really nice and yeah. <3

(i just opened a magazine where they made up a really stupid fake quote i never said so i was in a bad mood cuz i hate the idea of anyone thinking i would ever say such a ridiculous thing)
his rant near the end is amazing tho, it successfully alleviated any anxiety i had over the matter
its like whatever mood im in or whatever feelings i have kanye has articulated it somewhere <3
cool PBJ sample too

29th: images of Joan of Arc
im reading a great biography of joan of arc right now by mark twain. im always surprised when great writers write biographies that i didn’t think existed. Actually, if your into this kind of thing theres a Nabokov biography of gogol and its AMAZING. one of the best books ive ever read and maybe my favourite nabokov book. anyway, I would highly recommended both of them (although i would skim the whole middle section of J.o.A. book 1 as it doesnt get good until she starts getting visited by st. michael)
