I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

This is like anemoia in music form for me. 💛🌻

Please don't let the fear of not doing something well stop you from trying it for the first time. Write a messy story. Paint a crappy flower. Whittle the worst wooden bear of all time. The best gift you can give yourself is to have fun and grow.

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw. ( Also a good excuse for an #art study )

If you ever wonder why your artist friend is so pissed off whenever they see AI slop used instead of real, human-created art, it's exactly what you think:

Happy N7 Day! The Mass Effect series stays close to my heart to this day! It's how I earmark my entry into young adulthood and into better times. #N7Day #MassEffect

This game feels like coming home ❤️🖤🤍 #N7Day #MassEffect

So, I ran session one of the Delian tomb last Sunday. And, I had a lot of fun being a director. Also, a shout out to my awesome players ,who were patient enough to let me look up the rules and happily helped each other understand the rules for their classes while I was setting up the encounter.

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote: "To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace." No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

My best advice to try to get a handle on shit right now? Make something. Don't care what. Don't care if it's good. Don't care if it's just a big ass house you made in Sims 4, just lose yourself in something for an hour or so. It' s like flushing the brain toilet.

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

“Don’t drink, don’t smoke… what do you do?” WHATEVER I WANT 😌

it turns out making art is spiritually and emotionally fulfilling. has anyone looked into this

If you see this, quote the energy you bring to Bluesky

it's important to have something good that happens in your life regularly, so if you don't have any of that, you should definitely get some. you should try to make sure it's something really meaningful and special too

the complete embrace of nihilism and the rejection of being genuine is the greatest danger to humanity right now

One of the best explainers for Anxiety Disorders I've come across...It's like the creators scooped out examples from my own life experiences. Don't let the muppets fool you; it's sprinkled with some dark humor and is quite relatable. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5Sa...
