Write that weird little book, make that weird little painting. It was given to you for a reason and someone else needs to see it and if you don’t do it no one will

Found this on TikTok and it made me emotional ❤️

Artists create universes from nothing.

Being an animator is an intimate understanding of life, environments, physics, what it MEANS to be alive, and the ability to convey the beauty within our world in seconds.

omg frens, amazing news.. two and a half years after its release, “Don’t Ask If I’m Okay” has ‘earned out’— which means if it continues to sell then I’ll actually see royalties 🥹🥹🩷🫣🫢😭
This is a Big Deal for me personally after Furry Faux Paw floundered, and a big deal for “quiet” contemporary YA.

Tech friends: what's a good alternative to Dropbox? Searching for it online is an exercise in futility since everything is driven by sponsorships and motivated by money.

Low key, this is why I think you should send fan mail to the niche people you love and not huge people. Bts is gonna get thousands of letters, but that soundcloud rapper may go there entire career getting nothing.

Tell your niche favs you love them in a way that is not weird!!
The funniest thing about being A Person in a very niche microcommunity is that you suddenly realize that the people you think of as "famous" in other microcommunities are in the exact same boat as you

Systemic imposter syndrome "my niche is so unimportant I promise, unlike yours, SoundCloud rapper

I don't tend to read THICC books as a whole, so probably... my own books, lol. They tend to be around 400-450 pages. But outside of that, probably @authorjessowen.bsky.social's By The Silver Wind, 473 pages. Close to Angel at 514!

Actually we have a tool for that already! It's called thinking. We use our brain. It's called brainstorming! Clue is in the name.
