Indeed, and people might be surprised by what "need" looks like
I'm not hard-of-hearing, but I am autistic AF with ADHD and I need captions to help me understand what folks are saying, and to keep me focused on what I'm watching.

I love this thread, & Philip is so skilled & talented. It breaks my heart when folks say they can't [art] or they're bad artists
1. An artist is someone who feels compelled to make art & does it, & your art does not need to be marketable to be fulfilling
2. Art is a *practice*
I echo: make arts 💛

I don't know how many of you are familiar w/ the Too Good to Go app, which allows you to find restaurants & stores in your area that are selling surprise bags of surplus food at discounted prices, but they now also have discounted foods for delivery! (Like, shipped, not like Postmates.) It's great.

Happy Thursday to all who celebrate 🙃
If you're alone today, know that you're not alone in that.
I popped on some music that makes me feel good and am making myself a tasty little apple crumble. I hope you have a peaceful day and do something delicious for yourself 💛
