For years I would constantly tweet and tweet and retweet about politics. I didn’t help a single person doing that. It just eroded my mental health a little every day. I promise that actually DOING something, even one small thing, feels a lot better than reposting a million memes.
I cannot emphasize enough the importance of finding one constructive real world offline thing you can do to use your particular skills in service of fighting fascism as a psychological defense against the constant drumbeat of fuckery
my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.

I did some painting! This is the centre of a wreath I'm making at the weekend from recycled silver paper (the kind posh takeway food arrives in) I thought the wreath could be like a porthole/portal that you could see through to somewhere else.

2 Copper mezzotint plates. I'm ready to test print. The plates are exciting when first worked - lots of nice highlights. #mezzotint#intaglioPrinting#Printing

My first Bsky post: The latest portrait of my housemate, Margaux. She's a black and white cat. Her head is Batman's mask. Her chest is Superman's triangle. Her wrists are Wonderwoman's cuffs. Adopting her is the best thing I've ever done, and she's a great cat.
