“can’t defeat fascism without joy” next to a homemade Barbie Yaga Malibu Dream Hut is i think the message a lot of us need right now tbh ❤️🔥💖.
I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead.
It's a Barbie Yaga Malibu Dream Hut.
No regrets. Can't defeat fascism without joy.

If you're a writer, wondering why you should bother writing with the world on fire. It feels like it's not important, I need you to understand that it is.
Even if it is just because it keeps you moving forward? Even if it only brings YOU joy, that gives you energy to fight & survive.

Give yourself time to be bored
Having moments when you have zero stimulation is incredibly important to give the creative side of your brain a good workout
It doesn’t have to be for hours ! A nice 10 minute stroll without distractions for instance is a good start

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back
You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

Anyone can become chronically ill.
It’s not a choice. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of.
You can be the healthiest person in the world & completely disabled in an instant.

It's time for slower art. The constant churn and grind pushed by techno capitalism has reached its inevitable conclusion with AI slop. Let's make our best work and be patient with our process. Let's release art that's worth stopping for and savoring. Let's show each other what humans can do
