Today's challenge: Every time you start spinning out in panic from reading the news or catching up on social media, put down the phone and spend 5 min. cleaning up/picking up/tidying/somehow improving your home environment. And then notice how much of a difference your small effort can make.

I think in this day and age we've moved beyond the need for "tongue-in-cheek" media. Get your tongue out of your cheek. Bring it forward in your mouth. Wet your lips. Let it speak your truth, or your anger, or your love, or your weirdness, or your joy. Don't hold it back for fear of sincerity.

This was one of my favorite things on Xitter, glad to see it on here as well.

Sometimes it feels like I’m going crazy, because there is something that is right in front of our faces, has been for years, and nobody of consequence ever says it: Donald Trump works for Vladimir Putin. How much more proof does anyone need? And what is anybody going to do about it?

update i can physically feel the healing powers of taking a break and its only been two days. why is this such a simple and easy solution to all the problems ive been having

Last night, I stumbled onto this reference website that I'd never heard of before, and am blown away by its quality. Highly, highly recommended. www.dimensions.com

We live in a time when people in power are trying to erase marginalized groups from public view. I'm a trans woman, but many other groups are at risk. In our online and in-person communities, we must all support each other and fight to ensure that we won't be deleted! #wewontbedeleted #trans #lgbtq

I have a folder called "nice things" on my computer, and any time anyone says anything positive about my work, I put it in the folder to look at when I'm feeling discouraged or wallowing in imposter syndrome. It's honestly been so motivating and helpful to my mental health. Would recommend.

ComicFury is an amazing hosting site for webcomics!! Customizable websites, you can do paginated AND scroll format, NSFW friendly, anti-AI, and a super active forum & community!! I don't think I'd have ever started my webcomic journey without ComicFury, imo it's well worth supporting

I host my own comic here. The community is fantastic. The site is entirely free. Please consider helping them out.

Stardew Valley is fun because you're charging around at full speed handing snails and mayonnaise to people you've spoken to like twice on their birthday

Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

New on @kanzenshuu.com today: FAQs! www.kanzenshuu.com/faqs/ Read up on some of the most frequently-asked questions we've seen out there, broken down by sub-categories. We have even more in the hopper, but we'd also love to hear what YOUR most frequently asked (or answered!) questions are!

I hate having to share this again, and I certainly don't expect to meet such a steep goal. But I'm scared. I'm desperate. I don't want to die. Please, if nothing else just share it.

the times ahead are going to be ugly. don't stop fighting for beauty. keep making beautiful art. keep building beautiful communities. keep creating goodness. keep loving. keep loving. keep loving even when it hurts. keep loving covered in blood. and don't you DARE stop. we are not going back.

#1 social media tip: Believe in kindness. Interact with people you like, support them, help them get traction. Comment on their art, cheer them on, share a shop post. Be selfless. Kindness blossoms into more kindness. It will take you far. People who stick together, grow together.

This little trick that Jesse Hamm taught me years ago has saved me lots of time as a comics penciller, so why not share it here?

comics, man

Friendly reminder Unclench your jaw Relax your shoulders Take your meds Drink some water Get something to eat Fix your posture Switch over your laundry Take food out of the microwave Charge your phone Reply to your dms But most importantly Breathe Take a moment for yourself And keep your head up💙

PLEASE spread this like you've never spread anything before in your life, it literally could cost me my life if you do not, I know we're exhausted of the pleas for help but this is crucial

This is the single most important advice any creative person needs to hear. There are of course factors such as financial insecurity or mental and physical impediments (spoons ≠ motivation even though people will tell you they are the same) but when you can, do, whether you feel inspired or not.

Lots of great advice in the replies to this post. Check them for inspiration and see which small habits might work for you. They can greatly improve your (and others') quality of life!

Yeah, after 7 years and a streak of 2600+ days, I think I'm finally done with Duolingo. I haven't progressed enough for the time I put in (even if it was only 5-10 mins a day). I'll stick with kanji flashcards and in 2025 I aim to simply read read READ a lot of Japanese and see where that takes me.

The fireworks festival saga continues as Hex's uncle Clement heard of Hex running off and had to check up on him. Ever had that moment when your knee-jerk reaction to something was to hide, only to realize how silly you're being? But now it's too late to be normal about it... #art #oc #ocSky

the progression of AIDS treatment in my lifetime, from how terrifying it was as a child in the 80s to stories like this 40-odd years later, is genuinely one of the human race’s most awe-inspiring scientific achievements. it was a nonnegotiable death sentence for SO LONG

Got my hands on this cool thing - a guide book for a game I've been playing for 20+ years. I can decipher most of the Japanese in here, though it still takes a little effort. My goal for 2025 is to level up to a point where I can read it comfortably.

japanese author: I'm going to make a character who is a duck. he's going to end all his sentences with -kamo :) english translator: jesus fuck I need to come up with 300 duck puns

Quick doodle from earlier in the year. #art #drawing #artsky

having anxiety is so stupid, like why am i scared in the bread aisle?

like. this. this is the whole thing right here: "Fewer good stories will be told. It is stolen valor to demand the prestige of creation without the trial of actually doing it."

#CoverVsPanels for Tiger Tooth Twig, specifically Twig Tale 2 which only just got started in October. The latest page introduces a new antagonist, who is just as annoying for me to draw as he is for Twig to interact with...!

Growing up I got bullied for hyperfixating on nerdy stuff, so even now in my mid-30s I still struggle to let myself be my truest self. I am finally getting better at letting loose, though. This is why Twig is my little champion. She's unapologetically herself and punches BS right in the face.

Please tell your kids, every damn day if necessary, that chatGPT is not a goddamn search engine and you shouldn’t believe a word it says. Tell the adults too, but it’s especially imperative to inoculate kids against this

You ever draw your OC *the way they're meant to look* in an art by accident and you constantly analyze said art trying to figure out what the hell you did right?

Actually, before I forget again, does anybody know if there's documentation of the Japanese characters dialogue/text from Pokémon games like Gold/Silver/Crystal and Heart Gold/Soul Silver, like Bulbapedia has? Even if there's no translation... It's not crucial but it could help me XD
