On the Gulf OF MEXICO watching a lightening storm at night (obvi much later in the day than this pic)

My biggest regret is that I did not bring any ocean horror to read. Looks like cannibalism is the reading choice for this experience

I made some digital hand lettering to remind you that medical science is real, antidepressants save lives, and your mental health matters. 💊🩷💜

#art #mentalhealth #lettering
Cartoon style lettering reads “antidepressants” in neon green script and “save lives” in pink block letters below, surrounded by scattered pink & green capsules and tablets on a spacey purple background.

1. How have I never read this before?
2. Wasn’t what I expected, but I tore through it in a day, so I’ll call it a win

Finished “1984” today. I read this years ago, but reading it now it light of the current ::gestures wildly::, it’s alarming relevant. Fun fact, it was written as a warning, not a how-to manual.

#ReadBannedBooks #BookSky
Paperback copy of the novel “1984” by George Orwell, on a blue woven chair. If you’ve not read this book, you should. If it’s been a minute, read it again.

If your argument is "sure, a terrible modern event has a parallel in the 1920s and 30s but don't worry we turned out just fine", might I suggest reading about the 1940s.

It started like an odd but cozy Victorian haunted house situation and ended…more messily. I recommend.
