A bit of James Baldwin today: "I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain"

Hey you, it’s been awhile. I needed that time away from social media for my mental health, & I’m still deciding how much I want to be on here. 🫂🫶🏼

"It wasn't the inspirational quotes hanging on the walls of the office, the tightness in my shoulders or the knots in my back that stuck. The conversation about being the "designated survivor" of the family and the train of thought that followed is what stood out the most from those visits..." #art

Going to take a social media break. I’ll check in sometimes, but I need a brain deposit of focused writing, video gaming & family time. Mental health breaks are essential. Step away when you need to. Gaming friends; I’m on Discord, I may not answer messages right away though. 🫶🏼

Just a reminder to please include Melissa Hartman and her husband in the conversation. On June 14, 2025, Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman was assassinated in a shooting at her home in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, United States. She was killed alongside her husband, Mark. In. Her. Home.

...back on the horse...

Wherever your journey takes you, remember that not everyone stays with you on that ride. People leave behind lessons & love as they move on. The memories created; good & bad, guide you through life. Find the courage to let go.

The shirts are in btw, and they’re almost sold out already.

Often, telling someone no carries a bit of guilt. But saying no is an act of self-preservation & respect. You are protecting your peace. Setting clear boundaries is self-love & caring for yourself is not selfish.

Don’t betray your friends. Even if a relationship ends, respect what they told you in confidence. Be a person that others can rely on. Live your life so that at the end of your days, those that walked along your path with you will remember you with a smile.

You see the changes you need to make in your life, but you’re agonizing over the decisions before you. Letting go of the familiar is so difficult. Only you know what’s best for your future self. Be patient with yourself & then focus, as you move forward with courage.

Taking a video game therapy day. Be good to each other 🫶🏼

It's been a while. Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs. store.steampowered.com/app/2396130/...

The Play for Peace: Games for Palestine charity bundle is now live! Nearly 400 games from creators all around the world, with proceeds going directly to Gaza relief efforts. Bundle link: itch.io/b/2979/play-... We made a launch trailer to celebrate this moment👇 Please RT.

JUST IN: Anthropic has agreed to pay at least $1.5 billion to settle a lawsuit brought by a group of book authors alleging copyright infringement. That’s at least $3,000 for each copyrighted work that it pirated—well below what Anthropic may have had to pay if it had lost the case at trial.

Today is International Day of Charity, and theme this year is "Call the world to act with solidarity and compassion". sisters/brothers, all the small acts we do in our daily lives send ripples across the planet, even when we can't see over the horizon.

Artists! Show an old piece you still love!

The conversation about whether Bluesky is a viable alternative to Twitter is moot for me. Once you realize the latter's algorithm heavily favors right-wing views, you have to pay for a fraction of hateful engagement and its owner is a heartless loser there is simply no conversation.

Even in moments of despair, time spent suffering is impermanent. Nothing is promised & actions have consequences. When you are fully aware of the choices you make & the way you treat others, it becomes obvious the difference you make in the world. In happiness & sorrow, time is always fleeting.

Taking a day off from social media. Going for a bike ride & playing video games today. 🫶🏼 1/

I don’t know about you, but lately, social media has become exhausting for me. It’s hard to ‘log in’ when it’s predominantly bad news. It’s important to recognize the negative impact of this to one’s mental health. I’m giving myself permission to reclaim my time from the digital noise. 1/

That about sums it up.

Hey you! It’s been a while. I took the top off the Jeep for our seaside ride. Maybe the ocean breeze can clear your mind. We can stay & watch the sunset. Play whatever music you want to hear, as loud as you need to. There’s cold drinks in the cooler behind your seat. I’m glad you’re here.

Trying very very hard to resist....

New ready to upload emotes are on the site! khanartist.org/digital-prod...

Gamers know that you can’t always fight evil on your own. You need a diverse team of multi-talented warriors that believe in each other & the common purpose for which you battle. 1/3

Needing some video game therapy today. ✌🏼🎮🫂

New PEAK BINGBONG stickers are now available! #peak #bingbong #fyl khanartist.org/merch/p/bing... Sharing is Caring

You will not always get a second chance to say what you need to say to someone. Sometimes anxiety, anger & pride get in the way. The words become lost to time & regret. Be gentle with your healing from the words left unspoken. Be brave with the words yet unsaid.

...forced to update...

Going to be honest for a minute & say that yesterday was not a good day. I’m taking a self-care Sunday, maybe play some video games. Sending you peace & hugs. ✌🏼 If you’re a caregiver, please know you’re appreciated & loved. It’s not easy; take time for yourself when you can. 🫶🏼

Finally got around to implementing an upcoming events page on the site so you can keep up with me the rest of 2025. khanartist.org/events
