Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying โ€œhow do I pack this down into something I can actually share?โ€ While swirling rainbows labeled โ€œINFINITE POTENTIALโ€ float around them.

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming โ€œall that work for THIS?!โ€

Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guyโ€™s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying โ€œHere you go, I made this, it sucks.โ€

Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face.

Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

Sometimes weโ€™re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when itโ€™s done we know all the things that it isnโ€™t, but we canโ€™t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. ๐Ÿ–Š๏ธ๐Ÿฆ‘

A big part of social media is the Secondary Hobbies. You need mutuals who have a harmless additional interest that you will otherwise never learn about, but you kind of root for it to work for them. I hope you do enjoy the new issue. Your needlepoint looks great. I'm +1ing for you

"The one thing I need to do today" represented by a single Tetris block that needs to drop into a very obvious gap at 9am; at 5pm it's evident that single block has been very badly dropped into the wrong spot.

The four trauma responses:
Fight โ€œI face threats head on and with aggressionโ€
Flight โ€œI remove myself from the situationโ€
Freeze โ€œI feel an inability to move or responseโ€
Fawn โ€œI try to please to avoid conflict. Iโ€™ll agree with you even when I actually disagree. I crave acceptance and struggle with codependency. I lack boundaries and have a hard time saying no. I take full responsibility for things not my fault. I donโ€™t advocate for my needs.โ€

Meg says โ€œmy 20s were full of alcoholism, debt, pain, depression and bipolar that was undiagnosed for years. I feel so far behind my peers.โ€ Carson shrugs โ€œcomparison is the thief of joy, take pride in the challenges you faced and grew from.โ€

a comic. a possum is rummaging around inside a trash can. It erupts from the can holding something in its paws. โ€œhey!โ€ she says. She holds out the desktop calendar. โ€œToday is June 24th! Look!โ€ She leans on the edge of the trash can. โ€œthat means today is make a terrible comic day!โ€ She produces a ballpoint pen from the trash and clicks it. โ€œthe idea is to just make something! no rules, just enjoy the act of creation! (Or donโ€™t and just do it anyway)โ€ she is drawing on the cardboard back of the calendar. โ€œtell a story, tell a joke, make something silly or sublime or totally abstract! make something and donโ€™t stop making it until itโ€™s made!โ€ She holds up her little comic with pride. โ€œtell your inner critic to โ€˜fuck off!โ€™ make a terrible comic!โ€
