When you spend your days seeing yourself as broken, dirty and worthless…
It is terrifying and powerful when someone you admire and treasure, admits they think the same of you.
Maybe too many of us believe the stories we were told to keep us small. ❤️🩹

A lot of creators essentially saying "My work might contain nudity and sexual situations, but it's NOT porn. My work is important and artistic, while their work is dirty, which is still okay to hate and censor." But guess what! The purity squad makes no such distinction.

🎇🏮CHINESE LANTERN FESTIVAL🏮🎆
Kyōto has many light-up events during the autumn, but Manpuku-ji's is something to behold.
As one might expect from one of the country's few Chinese-style temples, the colourful lanterns are heavily influenced by festivals on the mainland.

I do like this idea, how about if we all do that each Tuesday? I wouldn't mind if the art community has that as a weekly event. Good promotion is always welcome 🫶

I have never really been one for the black friday weekend buying spree, I usually avoid it like other people’s used snotrags.
I guess if I had to drop a chunk of change this weekend, I would rather it be at my local vet taking care of a loved one than at a big box store full of stuff I don’t need.
