Make a little solo-date with yourself every week to “fill the well.” It doesn’t have to cost money, and if it does it can be cheap (some small, delightful indulgence), it just needs intention - this date CAN be relaxing, but that isn’t its purpose. The purpose is inspiration.

Question for fellow creatives!
What's some art/creativity-related advice or technique that you feel like changed you/your process forever?

My cat Veronica sticking her tongue out. She is very fluffy and orange. She has a white chest and chin. Her pink tongue is very cute

Gotcha! Love has to come first. I appreciate that King of Crusher release btw. I still have to get back to it--I was just starting to get the controls. It's not too far removed from that Dreamcast Godzilla game (soft spot for that)

While the kid-oriented MMOs of yesteryear (Club Penguin, Free Realms, etc.) were imperfect, the modern equivalent, Roblox, carries even bigger problems. @beewertheimer.com on the state of this space and a way forward:

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

Went through my many, many phone browser tabs yesterday, emailing cool articles to myself for tablet reading later or tossing stuff I lost interest in. Took absolute MAX 30 min. This is so much better!!

You'll tackle a little something before it's over. Feels good to be able to just bask for a while tho!

I do earnestly enjoy Motorfest! Finally grabbed this thing and holy hell, Ivory Tower's pace quickened if anything.

The formal playlist "questlines" just kept coming, the weekly themed mission are fun, a whole-ass Maui got added...A bundle of new music even dropped! Wild support

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

What you hittin' up before close: BEST or Pizza Sonic?

Sonic's push into artisanal pizza (...and tonics??) resonates with me, but I do love me some premium burger (and Ferrari, for some reason).

Screenshot from The Crew Motorfest of a fake reddish fast food building called Best Premium Burger. Their symbol is a gold crown. Several tables with umbrella coverage are below. Far in the distance is a Ferrari balloon.

Screenshot from The Crew Motorfest: Inside of a pizza place that looks more like a place to buy potions or alcohol--many drawers, shelves, cabinets, plants, and bottles.

People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

Hell yeah, we even get a Sacrilege mention! (Also, was that generic Amazon page meant to directly link Embed With Games? Maybe it's a regional thing and the url broke?)

Putting my old tablet to work with a lot more dedicated reading time. @endlessmode.bsky.social is bookmarked, and told me about Blippo+. Between this, Not For Broadcast, and hopefully others, I welcome more Headroom-likes in gaming

Drives me nuts that stars aligned for this thing and Disney was all "Jared Leto needs to be the centerpiece of this production. That's only way we can make Tron work." good lord

AND THEN GETTING IN BED WITH MORE CHARLATANS FOR "BUZZ"!
