I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a heteromultivalent nanogel capable of killing some of the most dangerous bacteria known to medicine- with over 99.9% effectiveness against P. aeruginosa. It also showed strong antibacterial effects against other major threats, including E. coli and MRSA.

How we all create art and find meaning in it is as unique as a fingerprint.

In visual art, that fingerprint impression is called having "a style". It develops in 3 parts:
1) your influences
2) what you enjoy
3) your special brand of laziness

So, real talk. The imposter syndrome never really goes away either, it's like an old chronic injury that flares up again and gets really bad at certain times of the year, or if you've strained yourself. It creeps back when you don't expect it, and it's hard not to hear that little voice get louder.
Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Ever since I learned this, I have made a point to preorder books from authors and artists I follow from my local bookstore. Often, they'll order an extra copy or two to stock on the shelves. It's crazy how low the number is to make a tangible difference!
I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Last month, the Tule River Indian Tribe purchased 17,000 acres of their ancestral lands where they are reintroducing tule elk. The purchase was partly funded by California’s Tribal Nature-Based Solutions Grant, which funds tribal land return projects. www.latimes.com/california/s....
Elk are again roaming on lands that California has returned to the Tule River Indian Tribe
Tribal leaders and Gov. Gavin Newsom gathered Wednesday to mark the return of 17,000 acres of ancestral land to the Tule River Indian tribe.

Uhh...just because I'm concerned.

Artists remember you are not required to do a Black Friday Sale.

You're not a big corporation. So, you don't have to hurt yourselves.

Take care. ♡

Recent dental issues have me feeling super burned out, and it's not even the holidays yet x_x
Made some mini candy Christmas trees to try and get in the holiday spirit 🎄💖

Furries, do NOT buy this game if it is using any of that generative ai BS. Even if it is "just a little". This is how they slowly add it in and make it more accepted, and they WANT that. THAT is their plan.
