Thought of a slightly different approach to something last night, an exciting new idea. Tried it today. It was a bad idea. Pizza tonight to make myself feel better.

“Do you know why we have the sunflowers? It’s not because Vincent van Gogh suffered. It’s because Vincent van Gogh had a brother who loved him. Through all the pain, he had a tether, a connection to the world. And that is the focus of the story we need - connection.” - Hannah Gadsby

I loved this collection! Joel's beautifully direct poems document a year: the personal, the political, and desert life. They're paired with his striking illustrations (and their wry titles). Here is anger and doubt, wit and delight too, but I am left thinking about hope. #amreading #poetry 💙📚

Man, I thought the Discover tab was rough... It's the For You tab that gets me. Gonna have to keep an eye on that for my own mental health 😬🗑️. Anyway, have an art! I painted these about a year ago #watercolor #painting #art
