🎈 Happy Birthday @jprobichaud.bsky.social no post could ever capture the depth of love, friendship and bruises between us. So grateful for you, every single day. I can't wait for this next year with you

As #YearOfKindness grows more deeply integrated into my daily life, keeping things intentional grows more important.

I just looked at there are over 2000 of you?? How did that happen? I wanted to thank you for being here. So many of you helped make this year more livable, held kindness when I lost grace, used kindness to counter cruelty, gave me space to tell my side of a horrible story. I am so grateful.

I also thoroughly believe that when you learn to *really* look at art and become comfortable with uncertainty and questions…it transfers into how you experience the world and interact with others.

Also if you need someone to hype you up for not drinking I will totally give you praise.

I remember, vividly, the exact moment I decided to leave this part of my life behind. That's not say I didn't stumble around for another decade, but reading this put me right back in that night, leaving a party, walking across frozen snow, and it just so happened to be New year's Eve.

A (slow building) thread of this year’s favorites from my self portrait series on body and identity with focuses on chronic illness, mental health, gender, and more. Sono Una Fotografia became a public project in 2023, but began in 2003/2004 to combat body shame from PTSD. #Artofselfportraiture

No me but my dad - he was chatting with some guy in a gym locker room who said he was in Toronto for work - my dad asked what he did and he said he was an actor. My dad said "good luck with that" As he was leaving the gym the girl at the membership desk excitedly asked if he'd met John Travolta

Welp. Off the ED for Lauren. Which sucks. * But * this is my second medical emergency during new years so at least I'm building some consistency.

This is the essay at the heart of my #YearOfKindness everything grows from this, this collection of experiences was like a coming age, formative. Informative, transformative. We never here how anyone goes through this. This is how I did it. . www.laurenjanek.com/post/and-i-a...

When I was violently assaulted at 13 everyone at school found out, my principal bullied and blamed me as did other children - children further traumatized me (a child) because adults and culture model that behavior. I'm often actively grateful this happened before social media or AI.

It's a serious sadness more people have not read Mervyn Peake - is me telling everyone 'Gormenghast' is fantasy Proust having the opposite of the intended effect?

Everyone online call-out of your peers is a double-down on harm instead of love or courage or good will, it's harm paid forward, it's a task for those who find it easier to be callous than kind and I refuse to participate

My friend and I got each other the same old book of recipes and folklore as gifts. Truly wonderful because we * both considered keeping it *

Clicking on a link from me is such a wild ride - is it a harrowing essay about trauma recovery and restorative justice or a weird art porn photo set? Who knows?
