Breaking down what I mean when I talk about creative resistance... because there's really three layers to it and they are all interlinked.

There's the internal (the inner critic, etc) in the form of the hurdles we create as we go to create.

There's the internal in the form of being able to push back on those hurdles and resist the resistance.

And there's the external in the form of the systems and the environment in which we currently live.

OMG. I'm equal parts excited and shitting myself.

Three months ago, I dusted off my unused DJ decks to see if I could learn to DJ. I went semi viral, and then got scared.

But I'm back... and I'm setting myself my first official creative challenge: Become a DJ.

Listen for the backstory and what I'm planning to do over the next week.

One of my old guiding principles, when I was a mad and brave creator, was 'the path of least resistance', so today, I'm breaking down a few of the most common things I see in the way of people actually creating something, and some ideas to blow up the motherfucking hurdles between you and the thing.

Hey there!

I'm Karly Nimmo and this is 'Karlosophies and the Creative Resistance'... where we are on a delicious (and sometimes challenging) journey of exploring human creativity, dismantling the fishbowl in which we live, and how we can create agency over our humanness in this age of AI.

In fact, I'm reclaiming my agency so hard that I've personally handtyped these show notes... instead of getting ChatGPT to do it.
