Stop! Look! Listen! Kim Pittaway’s Viewing Recommendation | The Fiddlehead
I’ll admit it: I often feel ground down by the world. Climate. Politics. The economy. Patriarchy. Fascism. I try not to doomscroll—but then end up simply toggling between doom and puppies. My latest solution? Art-scrolling.

In September, I often get a "new year" feeling. Time to look back at the goals I set in January, reevaluate and adjust. I have learned to be flexible with my writing goals, just like I need to be flexible with my health. Anyone else find September a time of renewal or readjustment? #writinglife
