I am a king of dialogue, especially sarcastic dialogue 🖤
Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.
I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.
No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at
Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

I hope this doesn't come off as begging—it just really stinks when stores returns my books when they can't sell them, and I have to payback WAY more than the stores did to buy them 😮💨
But if just SEVEN people buy a copy it would make all the difference ❤️

When I hear someone in their 20s say they're just getting into reading, I'm both happy for them but also thinking "what were you doing before??"

It's time to ditch Wix, folks, so I needs recs on website builders.
I don't want to do too much, work, though, so keep that in mind 😆
Also, I do NOT know HTML, sadly

I used to LOVE going to the movies, but these days I can only stomach fathom events.
It just gives me too much anxiety, wondering if some some A-hole behind me is going to talk the entire time. At least at home I'M the A-hole!

People seem incapable of being normal about how other people feel about this.
I think theaters are a massively important part of the joy many take in cinema and it would be sad to lose that.
I also think theaters are still hostile & inaccessible to anyone who can't afford to get covid.
It's both!

Netflix reportedly only wants to keep movies in theaters for 17 days after they buy Warner Bros

There is absolutely a cool story here!
Bit of a bad nights sleep as twice while falling asleep I heard a woman gasp (a sort of scared, ‘oh no!’ gasp) and as I live alone and can’t really hear the neighbours make noises as soft as that, I was unsettled. Slept with the light on.

Sometimes I post art even though I'm not satisfied with it—people still enjoy it.
Reminder that anyone can do art... drew 2 stick figures exchanging New Year's greetings? Congratulations, you're an artist & you didn't need a machine to spit that out for you.
Be not afraid... do human art in 2026💜
