Hey.
Kindly reminder.

This goes double for anyone under 18; be very careful about interacting with adults.
If any adult makes you feel uncomfortable, DO NOT ENGAGE THEM. RUN.

It took me a very long time to learn "do your best" does not mean "give 100% effort even at the expense of your physical or mental health" or "give A+ effort even when it is clearly not appreciated or valued". Sometimes doing your best is heating up a can of soup and going to bed early.

if someone's finishing a bunch of cool art, publishing many books, that's dope, good for them! but you don't need to measure yourself with the success of others. it's easier said than done. I doubt myself all the time. but in the end, everyone's going to be different, so fuck it, we ball.

The world is poisoned. The rot is bubbling and boiling over, reeking like melting permafrost. I don't know how or when it's going to get better. But keep writing, drawing, being creative. Express yourself. Keep the light on for others to chase. It's a rare good thing that everyone needs right now.

I know I talk about being more positive a lot, and some think that can be "toxic positivity"
Negativity just drains me, y'all
I try to be positive because there's already enough negativity on us EVERY DAY and I want to put good vibes out there to cut through it a little, not contribute more to it

Hey fellow Americans, actionable thing you can do to help trans people.
Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.
You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.
My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

The purpose of negative emotions is not to cause misery. It’s to prevent mistakes.
Outrage is a signal to speak up. Anxiety is a prompt to prepare. Guilt is a reminder to repair. Disappointment is a cue to persist.
Pain reveals principles. Where we hurt is a clue to what we value.

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

Do me a favor and compliment someone today. Tell an artist/creator or whoever that the thing they made is cool.
This year has started off unimaginably horrible, and it's probably not going to get better anytime soon.
Spread a bit of love. Make someone's day. We all need that now more than ever.

To all content creators and streamers,
Prolonged sitting over long periods of time can affect blood circulation in your legs, muscle strength loss, back pain, poor posture & sleep
Please start strengthening training (2-3x a wk) and low impact cardio(everyday if you can). Drink plenty of water

It might hurt my bottom line, but I’m probably going to stop posting art to Twitter entirely and I suggest you do too.
Not only is the site actively putting a “Okay, now remix this” button below art (and elevating them above the OP with a QRT) and it’s false flagging original art as made by AI.

this is the correct advice for the moment. be a loud, material supporter of the trans people in your life.
It's hard to know what to say or whether it's even worth adding to the doom - what I will say is buy your trans friends' weird zine, their album, their art game - buy them a beer or a soda or a meal - give them some ko-fi money for doing absolutely nothing. We gotta protect trans kids and adults.

Sponsor your favorite artists please, now more so than ever. It's so important. €1 or €100...or word of mouth, it's so very important.
I hope this doesn't make me sound like a pessimist but I see posts where people talk about "just make the thing", create while you can etc...but...bills? They have to be paid? By god it would be a dream if laziness/doubt was the reason why art isn't being made more but it's capitalism as usual...

I cannot stress this enough. Support your fellow actor. This is not the time to get a “come up”. We are fighting for a better industry not just for us but for future generations to come.
Reminder: If you see auditions for beloved characters that are already cast in games, please reach out to that actor so you can verify it’s not a recast. If it is, please DO NOT audition for it. We are all making hard choices during the strike, and we will only win this thing if we stand together 💕

As someone with autism, games have been a safe space for most of my life, because they (mostly) have consistent rules, themes, purposes, & means of *control*. The fog of the world outside is gone and there's only a clear screen between me and the soothing clarity of a system built to be understood.
