I hope everyone had a good weekend, try to relax if you can, take time to breathe
and remember none of us can fix everything, focus on what's in your power
Relaxation and Rejuvenation are important, drink water, eat some vegetables, close your eyes, breathe in 5, hold 3, release 7

Why? It's far easier.
I'm gonna sound like Smokey the Bear here...
Only you can tell that story, paint that picture, perform that dance, etc.
We are each unique. So is our art. No one else can do it exactly like we do. They're not us. That's what makes it priceless. To us and anyone who loves it.

Final thought.
Don't give up.
If you have these disabilities & want to do things ppl say you can't bcs you have 'em?
Stop for the day when brain/body hurts, or when mental health is in a bad place. Stop if you need to for a time. It's okay to take a break.
We *need* rest.
But. Don't. Give. Up.

I have less than $30 in the bank and no idea where I'm going to get the money to buy my kids Yule presents.
I went to uni so I'd never have to be this poor, y'know? But disability doesn't give a shit.
If you learned anything with my probably overlong ramble, anything you can spare is so greatly

Adjacent to this; a lot of artists starting out ask about developing “style” and I think style tends to be the bag of tricks you pick up trying to become the most YOU artist.

I find it funny that my immediate thought was that this question for many people gets asked time and again throughout their life
But also that some of us are peculiar enough that we never actually had a choice

It’s disheartening to see Teen Vogue dissolved into Vogue and its political team let go. For years, it was one of the few mainstream spaces that made room for honest, radical commentary on justice, inequality & the world we actually live in. I’m grateful it gave me a home for so many of my op-eds

FOOD BANKS do Wholesale Purchasing, they’ll get more for the dollar donated vs. giving food.
Just an idea:
I’ve had a lot of my families ask for a note added to their loved one’s obituary:
“In lieu of flowers please make the donation you would’ve spent on flowers to [insert local food bank]”

Incidentally, the barilla pasta sold stateside is mostly made in the states, so, this isn't gonna hurt him, it's going to kill little family companies though
Incidentally, Barilla’s owner is a big Trump supporter and has said he doesn’t want gay people buying his pasta.

The getting mad about people buying healthy, lean protein with SNAP is just the ultimate moving goalpost. The same people got mad about people using SNAP for foods they consider “junk food” but when you buy one of the healthiest foods there is it’s too fancy.

Before I go to bed, unfriendly reminder that boycotting Amazon and other services is just *not feasible* for some people. Income, disability, access to other services, lack of transportation, delivery fees, etc.
