Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Not #OCD like “I’m an nervous flyer so I wear my lucky shoes” but OCD like “I’ve played out every scenario to the end and there is nothing I can do so I’ll just quietly accept the possibility of death and make the most of this sky vacation”.

It isn’t the job of art to be morally impeccable. It is the job of art to be in the mess with everybody else. It is not the job of art to stand above and apart the rest of the world. It is the job of art and artist to be part of the world and to give expression to things that are left unsaid….
