Ugh, this is just soooo stressful!!! I mean, can't they get their act together?! Thousands of artists are struggling to make ends meet because of this stupid website crash
. It's not like it was a one-off mistake, months have passed and people are still waiting for answers. And the fact that Lisa Nandy is just leaving them high and dry without any extra support is just awful
.
And what really gets me is that these artists are not just struggling financially, they're also dealing with emotional trauma because of this whole experience
. I mean, can you imagine having to manually submit your final report in a Word document like Pepa Duarte? That's just so...humanizing
.
I don't care if the Arts Council England spokesperson says that new application processes are in place, the fact remains that people need more support and transparency in this whole system
. We can't keep relying on broken systems to fund our creative community
. It's time for some real change, stat!
