I’m trying to collect a list for my college students of what working artists wish they had done and/or knew before post-grad or first year of really working as a freelancer or in-house artist
If you feel like passing that on here I would love to see it and share with them later this year!

Every year I have to greatly shift where my income comes from
It makes taxes harder, and today is another day dedicated to organizing those. It is also just one of those days where I don’t feel like I am where I should be by this age, but I guess I am just glad to be still be at it at all

please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota.
people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

The thing that has been weighing on me so much with the violence in MN is how many times I've heard "if they minded their own business they'd be alive", which is such a weird isolationist mindset that I've seen grow over the last few years and now blossom in front of us

Only a few weeks ago I mentioned that people should not to tune out the world, that we owe each other our full attention. This was met with excuses, hyper specifics why one can’t. As every day goes by since I know that care, bare minimum, grows more important

There's a video out there of ice lynching a man. Don't watch it. It will not help you or others to traumatize yourself.
Spend the time you would have spent watching it/wanting to vomit and scream making a donation to somewhere in Minnesota, or if you can't, researching where you can help locally.

I have a very odd ability to always, unknowingly, sit next people on first dates when I’m at cafes and restaurants…which would be a curse if it didn’t allow me to overhear some of the funniest conversations I’ve ever encountered in my life

My senior cat will walk over whenever I am talking to someone in my apartment and sit down facing us, taking time to look at whoever is talking, like he is a part of the conversation (which he is)

Yesterday was my first day back at teaching
Lesson plans have consumed my life, I’m no where near having them finished so art will have to wait for a bit!✌️
Will likely have a sale soon since my first paycheck is a far away and I haven’t been able to take on client work
