This is my first post to VYB - I appologize that it's a RANT
Today I received an email from my teacher, from 1989, from whom I learned Intuitive Painting, which changed my art life for EVER.
Here's a sample of her workshop which she actually "stole" from https://www.michelecassou.com/
Aviva, my teacher - won't really acknowledge me because I started teaching this immediately back in 1989 - and because I did not go through HER school and just did it on my own, I am therefore an OUTSIDER.
Today, I receive this email that she is coming to Boulder, CO in May to do a workshop and she is jabbed and boostered and how does everyone feel about what level of protection they want to join in the workshop.
FUCK YOU!!!!! I thought.
and this is what I wrote:
I am unjabbed and I do not believe in the skam-demic that so many have fallen for. I do not want to go anywhere where a vaccine passport is required.
Boulder County has dropped it's mask mandate and there is no vaccine passport that I am aware of in Colorado at this time.
The fact that this is being discussed in this group and that other people are talking about themselves as being jabbed and boostered publicly on a list is ridiculous to me.
If you believe in this thing and have gotten the jab then you should be protected, no? And if not and you still need to be in a group of jabbed people in order to feel "safe" you might ask yourselves what the heck is going on?
Why would it be anyone's business what other people's health choices are? This is a violation of the HIPPA law - my right to privacy.
I own my body and I choose what goes in it and on it. This type of art - when I did this art back in 1989 at the Open Center in New York City it began a series of events which led me to throw off the shackles of tyranny and slavery that had been put upon me - I became free.
i am free now and I think critically. I am asking to be removed from this list if you are requiring a jab passport to do the class and/or if you all don't feel safe to be around other people without dictating to them your beliefs.
Her reply was the typical New England Dem Blow-Hot-Air-Up-OP's-Ass-To-Maintain-Your-Brand -
She told me how she accepts all choices but does not like to be judged.
FUCK YOU!!! I thought - and I said - JUST REMOVE ME FROM YOUR LIST.
And she did. But I am still aggravated by the whole experience. If I had not told her what I thought I would have been MORE aggravated.
The art technique is wonderful - and it's all about FREEDOM - which is why I cannot understand how and why she got jabbed - she even lives in AZ now - which is much more conservative than New England... but I guess she is just a dyed in the wool dumb-ass hippy leftist and can't think critically.
Whatever. OUT of my life.
MORE venting - who is @ gangs talking and why are they downvoting my shit on peakd.com?
