I fell in love, like anyone does. By seeing Vivienne Westwood earrings on the internet 2 years ago. My first thought was, “oh my god, these earrings look like tiny planets — they’re perfect for my completely space themed wardrobe." My second thought was, “Jesus fuck — these earrings are $300”.

You know about them. Maybe you’ve been in some. These are the rooms where people talk to people and make decisions that affect the lives of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people. I didn’t want power 3–4 years ago. I thought it was corrupting, self-aggrandizing, and a path to a seat at human reality I didn’t want to experience. Now, I still think all of those things. But I know I need it.
