Excruciatingly bad at keeping the freakshow talk to a careful minimum.
Send glitter. And cupcakes.

If you have frustrations you’d like to channel in a positive manner, consider showing your support for the Dodger Tour Guide Team. They are seeking a fair contract and keeping Dodger history alive even during the difficult days.

The constant background hum of general self-loathing and unshakable conviction regarding the unsightliness of your own appearance and body is tiring, sure, but also makes for a mildly amusing post enjoyed by up to 0.5% of your followers every few weeks, so who's to say if it's a good or bad thing

I've been thinking about this so much lately and how we're so socially conditioned here in the US especially to think that actions only matter if they're grand and heroic.
They don't. There's so much good, necessary, work to be done that will never make headlines. Find something and start. 💙

Everyone likes to think of themselves as Luke Skywalker. But not the nameless crew fixing the ship before the battle of Yavin.
Both are important. And there are far far more of the latter.

One of my co-workers has the dubious distinction of never being assigned to the the Dumpster Fire Show in a season. I have *consistently* been assigned to the Dumpster Fire.
We are assigned to the same show this summer.

i have a friend re-homing a 3d printer for low or no cost because she got a better one and as much as I *really* want it, it just means my life would fill with tiny plastic nonsense, just as getting a silhouette cutter has filled it with tiny stickery nonsense.

People are telling career artists to just make their art a hobby, and I’m trying very hard to read it as well-intentioned. Yes, you’re still a real artist if you have a day job. That’s normal. But that suggestion in this discussion elides the point. It’s an individual solution to a systemic problem.
