Creatives, listen up. I know it sucks. I know it's hard. But art isn't about making things when it's easy and good and comfy. Art is rebellion. Art is rage. Art is protest. Art is political fire. Write it. Draw it. Sculpt it. Build it. If you cannot find the joy, do it out of spite and fury.

Just finished binging S2 of XO, Kitty, and I LOVE that in this show, characters set a great example with personal boundaries, no matter how big the crush. We need more shows like that, particularly for tweens and teens!

Absolutely love Bluesky for introducing this, but it just occurred to me that it can quickly become a double-edged sword. Sometimes quotes are an effective way to give the right context to misleading posts and with this feature it becomes significantly more complicated to do so.

You underestimate the scale of a mess that social media can turn your brain in until you spend a week without it and see how clear your thoughts can be

“I have too many books” -judgemental -boring -implies impulse-control issues “The books... they have me.” - mysterious - occult - implies you are at the mercy of a library of books that have gained sentience and are holding you hostage #readingcommunity
