Cats. They can be absurdly annoying, quirky and inscrutable, and yet they are endearingly cute. Their charm is undeniable which makes them easily forgivable, but for all the frustrations and snubs, it is worth it when they decide, on their own schedule, to grace you with their love and companionship.

The patriarchy wants men to be seen as the victims now. They don’t want you to believe survivors. But I, too, have experienced firsthand getting economically punished here; retaliated and discriminated against; harassed, tracked, hacked, gaslit, ridiculed, blacklisted, you name it. Simply for telling my truth. For standing up for myself. For never, ever playing their game. For saying no.
It suddenly felt crucial to uplift these survivors, to elevate them instead. Literally, by incorporating their visages into my great-grandfather’s architecture in Prague. Which resonated with me on an eternal, impermeable level akin to Rushmore, Petra or the Great Sphinx. Solidifying the jarring shock of how well we know these faces, is the dawning realization of what they now represent as a group: Predatory economic gender injustice simply must come to an end. Caesura. Those ever-hunted for their image, in film or tv, or the hacked security cameras of 98% of our public spaces, now become your guardians. A line of heroic strength. Standing up to the beast, screaming, ”#timesup!”
