Talking in the memorial chat space for my friend reminded me of something important: if your doctor gives you a throwaway diagnosis (i.e. no testing, just guesses) that's scary? Get another opinion. Get two. Immediately tell others, don't internalize that shit.

"quick draw what you're wearing, 5 minutes max" In mourning for my friend, feeling raw. Doodled myself anyway for the meme. Knitters rep

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

Actual pro tip: the best way to break into any creative profession is by helping to support and advance other creators. Your peers are not your adversaries. They are your support group.

I'm gutted. I wasn't as close with Rowan, but she made sure to invite me to events and hung out with me while I still lived in Seattle. It meant so much to me. Fuck. What a loss. Words can't express, honestly.

Want something to do? Help kids in Houston who really need it. Talia has resources in the thread.

Want to do something impactful today in honor of MLK Day? Send cold weather gear to unhoused, mostly Black LGBTQ youth in HTX via Amazon. My city is about to experience a winter storm we are not prepared for, and the org I chair is collecting items today. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Hey, go do stuff. Outside, if you are able. Find who is helping your community and talk to them. The first attempt may fail, try again nearby. Garden, make art, bake, cook, mend, sew, build, fix. Be kind, because kindness may open eyes, but retain your peace. And lastly, find grace in the quiet.

Going into Inauguration Day pretending it does not exist and instead listening to this on repeat. I just need shutter shades and I'm ready for the apocalypse

Looking forward to my day off tomorrow where I am decidedly not on social media sites and instead knit, read, draw, hang out with people, pet my cats...

Hey chums. Here's a list of TAG members who have been effected by the LA fires and really need help: airtable.com/appugwkqKAVG... If you could take a look and maybe spread this, that'd be amazing.

99% of the misinformation surrounding the LA fires is to convince you that LA needs a R mayor and maybe even R governor. This is mostly through unfounded attacks on Mayor Karen Bass. 🧵
