just in response in particular to the "one bad apple.." line, the saying is "one bad apple spoils the whole barrel", so I'm not sure that's the analogy the author wants here.
personally, I think that basically every artist or creator ever has most likely had some or other sordid secret (or not so secret). with that in mind, separating art from artist becomes an absolute necessity. certainly their attitudes must influence their work in some way or other, but you aren't required to accept every part of the whole, and just because a creative work has some questionable or downright disgusting elements doesn't mean the whole must be entirely bereft of worth.
Of course, when it turns out that a living artist is a garbage person, you might feel more compelled to shun their creation as a moral statement or to deny profit to someone who plainly doesn't deserve it. but literally "buying into" an author's work is not the only way to consume it, and if you refuse to engage with them in a way that gives them unwarranted attention and/or plainly express disdain for their problematic attitudes, I think you can still be consuming ethically.
well, my experience is now ten years out of date, so take this with a grain of salt. but I would say your milk isn't as perfect as you think. it was my experience that foam would act this way, tending to blob on top, whereas properly aerated milk for lattes would mix cleanly with the espresso, producing the familiar orange-brown surface and allowing you to introduce small amounts of foam in a controlled fail to create the art.
I already have a cross bike (bought new last year) that works pretty well for gravel with a number of gravel races and lots of miles and elevation on it with no problem. A local guy is selling a gravel specific bike that I love the look of but is essentially the same geometry although a little shorter wheelbase and 650b tires....

I keep ending up with foam blobs. How do I actually make art? (i.postimg.cc)

A decision had to be made. I'm sorry. (lemmy.world)
