Having thin/curly hair and waking up like this every day.

Cynthia from the cartoon series Rugrats. She’s a Barbie-type doll with a lot of hair loss, the hair she does have sticks out straight away from her head.

Another card for a family birthday #illustration

A photo of a greeting card photographed on top of a green and yellow cutting mat. The illustration on the card features a boat on the horizon surrounded by billowing clouds that stretch high into the sky, and are reflected in the water below. The sky is dark and full of stars.

feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*

I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?

It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?
