just another day in the penal colony...

fb notifaction crediting the original source > Jenny Fraser

yep thats MY Saying - and one of my favourites... been saying it so long that people even acknowledge the source (sometimes). 

I am happy to share my sayings and my #IntellectualProperty with the world (especially mob) > thats what #WordSmiths or those of us with a purpose do >#SharingIsCaring ...and real artists or #academics or #Thinkers learn early to attribute the source (if we're "pinching" / "borrowing" or "appropriating" something) - its a basic courtesy, out of Mutual Respect. #SomeOfUsAreGivers 

But thats cool too - keep trying to write me out of history (all the while taking from me... in the same community...). *Us creatives can write ourselves into history anyway> thats what #Artists and #CreativeResearchers are meant to do. *And thats how we harness #creativity and are constantly coming up with our own original new #concepts 🙂

 ...and its cool if you dont know where the expression came from...

 ...but you know whats not cool? *Taking from someone at the same time as trying to vilify them on social media, and in community, then using their concepts to make $ on the title of your book, and your #TShirtSlogan

 #ButYouKNowThatRight 

#MySaying #FavouriteSaying #JustAnotherDayInThePenalColony - been saying it for decades now (and yes, I can back it up with more proof too). 

* btw this saying the kind of thing that comes from a #PunkEthos #JustSoYouKnow #SomeFactsForTheStory 

#CulturalTheft #ItsTheLittleThings #truthmatters #LetsNotPretendItsYours #iDontWorkInAnOffice but #WhenYouKnowYouKnow 

PS - As an artist I've had so many people copy my work over the years (I could write a book about it, and will do that too), but this treatment is next level > there are names for this kind of behaviour, but I'll leave that for another time... Goodbye 2021 

it really is #AnotherDayInTheColony 

#ResortOfThieves 

#SomeOfUsAreTakers 

#JustAnotherDayInTheColony Sadly
