I broke my hand in a bad car accident and it put a lot of things in perspective for me. The fact that a broken bone is hurting me less than the pain I feel on a daily basis as a chronically ill person really is an emotional realization.

I can't think of anything more morbidly symbolic than the Pope dieing hours after meeting the vice president

The fact that nobody on this planet can cry fast or hard enough to shed a tear for every victim in Gaza. This is an open book test on showing humanity. If you are siding with the violence happening so fast that grief must be rationed, you have failed.

The "go woke go broke" crowd suddenly realizing that they failed to make a dent in any business being progressive while we collectively drop the value of like 4 different companies by nearly 30% each in the past month is a nice reminder they are the true minority.

It's such a weird feeling to be in the best place I've ever been in my life the same time two active genocides are going on, one within the country I'm living in, as well as a nearly play-by-play reenactment of 1920s Germany by our current president.

Just a reminder that art does not need to be a career to be valid. Make your art, home your craft, and keep being creative. Creativity has more inherent value than any business could have.
