2024
DO NOT BE AFRAID OF GAUDINESS
SELF-PROTECTION TAKEN TO THE EXTREME BECOMES SELF-DESTRUCTION
SEND LETTERS TO YOUR FRIENDS
LOOKING AFTER YOUR BELONGINGS IS MORE SATISFYING THAN BUYING NEW THINGS
FIND NEW WAYS TO LIVE DELICIOUSLY
EXERCISE YOUR ATTENTION SPAN SO IT CAN STRENGTHEN
LEARN NEW POEMS BY HEART
KILL THE PURITANICAL JUDGEMENT IN YOUR BRAIN
REACH OUT FIRST

tags update: rafah is 8th on trending
edit: it is now at 7th
FOR CONTEXT:
israel has launched an invasion and heavy bombing of rafah(a.k.a the "safe zone" 1.7 million Palestinians were forced into) after the UN approved a ceasefire resolution for the rest of ramadan... all 2 weeks of it. results were 14 votes for YESes. 0 NOs. and 1 didn't vote(take a guess who it was)
the resolution called for an unconditional release of all hostages on both sides. so yes, mr "i am totally just doing this to get my hostages back whom i totally care about and totally didn't kill" Israel is launching harder attacks even after being promised all hostages release. just in case anyone was still questioning if Israel was using hostages as just an excuse for colonialism
russia tried to turn it into a permanent ceasefire but the US vetoed it. i guess vetoing a ceasefire looks less bad when russia is the one proposing it
DON'T STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE

Exercises for all the homies who want to have a long career drawing.
The true problem with being an artist and drawing all day (as I wanted my whole life) is that human backs are not designed to hold that position, so it is very common for artists and designers to have really stiff shoulder blades, creating a chain of muscle strain towards the arm AND the back... and a lot of pain.
These are some physical exercises for artists and honestly anyone who works at a desk.

resolutions for 2024
assume the best of the ones you love. their arms are open, not empty.
it is not the end of the world yet. dabble in hope.
demand reciprocity, without apology. build community as an act of celebration.
marvel at the small & mundane.
your body's limitations are gifts, not punishments. honor them.
intimacy is a light you must always seek out, even when the darkness feels safer.
the best antidote is to learn something new. find the sacred in discovering you were wrong.
create & create & create & create.
defend/fight for/embrace/grapple with/embody/trust gender nonconformity.
love infinitely. rest often.
