Stay past the credits of Little Women to see Jane Eyre step out of the shadows and tell Jo, “I’m putting a team together.”

There is no right/wrong way to draw, only boring/interesting drawings. No one cares about anatomy, perspective, light etc unless it serves a point that has nothing to do with physics. Like your feelings

A good way to tell if an artistic idea is any good is to remember the most successful video game idea of all time is "a plumber steps on turtles" so who knows

If you are turned away at the polls because your name is not on the register, don’t walk away. Say this: I REQUEST A PROVISIONAL BALLOT AS REQUIRED BY LAW. Don’t let them steal your vote.

tfw the most *benign* explanation for your president’s traitorous behavior is cognitive decline combined with clinical narcissism and insecurity.

some art heals. some art soothes. some art shouts and screams and yells. some art just tries to help the days go by a little faster. whatever it is you're making, it doesn't need to do everything. whatever art is moving you, allow it be what it needs to be. keep going.

“Be a good steward of your gifts. Protect your time. Feed your inner life. Avoid too much noise. Read good books, have good sentences in your ears. Be by yourself as often as you can. Walk. Take the phone off the hook. Work regular hours.” ~ Jane Kenyon

Dear Mind, Thank you. You’re doing your best to keep me safe + on top of things. Why don’t you take some time to rest + let me get on with my day? You can hang around, but I’m not handing my life over to you. Thanks, though. I’ve got this.

Gmorning This feeling will pass. This workload will pass. These people will pass. But look at you, with the gift of memory. You can time travel to the good stuff just by closing your eyes & breathing. Then come right back to now, eyes up for the good stuff ahead. You magic thing.
