Great post reflecting on the application of Tom Morrello's simple, powerful message, "Don’t leave behind who you are in what you do" to all creative people.

A Very Good Piece Of Creative Advice From Tom Morello

Time for GUILLERMO DEL TORO'S FRANKENSTEIN DISCOURSE!
I keep seeing people worry about whether del Toro properly did justice to Mary Shelley. And I have to ask: why is that del Toro's job more than anyone else's?
And also, didn't he?
And also, how could he? He's not a mother. 1/

Lots of excitement around Free Little Pantries recently. I love the mutual aid aspect. I especially love the in-neighborhood support but, please, please consider all the food safety that goes along with such aid. Don't allow stuff to freeze or swelter. Chk for safety recalls. Keep the space tidy.

Darlings, a reminder for when everything feels bad:
--Reach out.
--Move toward joy.
--Drink water.
--Take your meds.
--Allow yourself to feel your feelings.
--A 3 minute dance party in the kitchen helps.
--If you have a pet, hug them. (Unless it's, like, a fish.)
--When in doubt, make art.

Thank you for your example. No one deserves to go hungry.
I was at the grocery store last minute purchasing candy for tonight when some loudmouth went off on how glad they were SNAP benefits were stopping.
Friends, I was so angry. I just gave two neighbours grocery gift cards because I know they use the program. Everyone deserves food.
