My husband's playing Subnautica, and he has organized his synthesizeable materials into “Ore” and “Ore-ganic.” Him: How do you like my labeling? Me: [witnesses heinous dad-style wordplay] Me: [sighs heavily] Me: The internet needs to know.

Four art pieces not done. Taking my time with these feels genuine and peaceful.

Feeling burdened by the choice of what to do with your limited "extra" time BECAUSE IT IS PRECIOUS, guilty you're not using it "right," trapped in a resultant cycle of avoidance procrastination? WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT TO BE DOING? Rest? Work? Both beautiful, valid options. 🌱

For Disability Pride Month I’m once again begging for more artists to start considering accessibility and add alt text to your images. It helps low/no vision folks, neurodivergent folks, and more. Plus alt text shows up in searches! There’s a toggle in settings so you won’t forget. 👇

Thank you! Also, haha, those belonged to our fellow hikers just out of shot, and my husband forgot to frame them out. 🙆 We have the a long wooden staff each rather than the hiking poles.

Self-care is essential, but what about those times when you're so emotionally distressed that even self-care feels impossible? That's when you need to turn to: ✨self-soothing✨ Self-soothing isn't a reward or a treat, it's a necessity to be able to continue on your day effectively.

Okay so to be clear we are destroying power grids, the livelihoods of actual humans beings, and communication/research infrastructure for the sake of an algorithm that converts stolen data into unreliable stolen data and consistently loses millions of dollars. Just to be clear

Fellow Horizon Fans: Apparently this is to do with accusations against one of the show runners. Whether they will hand it off to someone else later is yet to be seen. This article speculates that they will, but others clarify that "not moving forward" is the last word, for now. 1 minute read

How long does it take to fashion a cloak of fungi, moss and lichen? Years, I'd say. Years! What a beauty.🌿

Reminder for a rough day: bad news gets re-shared 100x as much as good news, creating the morale-eating doomscroll illusion in which it seems like all news is bad, while real victories don’t get reported. We need to see victories to remind us the fight is worth-it. Don’t forget to #ShareGoodNewsToo

I realized that I was already doing that to some extent, but I think it's helping to now be fully cognizant. The person that pisses you off can be a great example of how not to be.
