Yes, it's impossible to therapy away social problems

but when society targets people, placing them under increased stress, they do need tools to help them survive and cope and reduce harm

and this is a good starting list

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!
(Yeah yeah I did)

a comic about a cursed scroll

#comic #art #webcomic #wizard

a wizard holding a scroll thinking "i can tell that this text is cursed..."

close up on the wizard's face with stars and spirals dancing around his eyes, thinking "i can feel it... playing tricks on my mind."

over the wizard's shoulder we see the scroll. in a scroll like chat bubble, the wizard thinks: "and yet... i can't stop scrolling."
on the scroll is a wizard in a tik tok like format with a title that says "get ready with me to try the viral goblin challenge!"

Inktober Day 5, "Deer": The Peryton is a creature which first appeared in the "Book of Imaginary Beings", inspired by medieval heraldry. Though they appear as seen, they cast the shadow of a human, their preferred prey. According to D&D, they particularly enjoy dining on the heart of their victim. 🦌
