I do the bare minimum to keep myself informed of the facts. Anything more is just going to hasten my own demise. I have no energy left and I just need to survive.

I hit this point just over a year ago and it's incredibly upsetting to be around friends/family who still share memes and crack jokes about it. Yes, I get that that's how some of you cope. I get that humor or satire can be an effective tool against fascism. But I'm way past that point.

Part of what it means to grow as an artist is to learn to value your creative process, and in doing so, to learn to love yourself. There will always be something or someone else who is trying to take advantage of you. But they can never take that seed of creativity as long as you nourish it.

Struggle and imperfection, creativity and humanity, is what distinguishes art from slop. You may feel demotivated because a machine LOOKS like it can do what you do, but it can't FEEL what you did when you made your art. Even if those feelings are sometimes painful, that's what makes your work real.

As someone who might not be neurodivergent but is certainly socially awkward, I have to take pains to be more reserved than I actually am, because when I get nervous, I have a habit of saying the "wrong" things. But maybe it's not you; maybe it's the group.

Online interaction is very easily misinterpreted because people get a lot of cues from body language, facial expressions, and speech patterns. It's difficult to establish trust, and people are quick to judge. I suggest a different approach.

ふわふわ！😍

the embarrassed pillow clutching is so real 🥰
