#MakeAThing

Watercolor doodle of a butterfly standing up on two legs like a human and smoking a cigarette. It says, make shitty art if you want to, who's going to stop you?

Lots of times, severely mentally ill people let the world make them think they're losers because they had traumatic setbacks on their path. People break down & drop out of school programs, spend time unhoused, deal with the trauma of cop brutality & psych incarceration & we can't compare ourselves.

There's been a strange thing with the rise of social media over the past couple of decades. Once individuals are "done" with a story, they seem to assume everyone else has moved on too. The fact is that YOU moving on from something has nothing to do with whether others are still focused on it.

Certain things make it really difficult to think clearly. It's not your fault. Just do your best. You can do this.

4-panel comic. Panel 1: "It's normal that it's hard to think clearly when you're under extreme stress." Panel 2: "You're still extremely clever and capable." Panel 3: "You will regain the ability to think clearly." Panel 4: "And you will figure everything out."

We both felt motivated to understand close reading better, to make the clearest, strongest, case we could for it, and to do it together every step of the way. It's been a huge gift to think with Johanna in the making of this book, which we now offer to the world. press.princeton.edu/books/paperb...

I'm proud of you for surviving. It's wonderful that you're here.

4-panel comic. Panel 1: "You did what you do had to do to survive." Panel 2: "It's easy to torture yourself with what you could have done differently." Panel 3: "But consider this: what you did worked. You are still here. and maybe if you had not done it, you would not be." Panel 4: "So I'm glad you did what you did. I'm glad you're alive, no matter what it took for you to get here."

Thoughts on camping?

Artwork of three green frogs out camping. There are tree stumps, hollow logs, teal tens, and rocks all around them.
