Willow

We just got a package from @willowrivers.bsky.social!

We love everything so much Willow. Thank you. All the extra goodies and the note! So sweet. We all teared up at your kindness.

11 loves the fidget toys and the lamp. Definitely going for the mushroom shelves next. 💖💖🫂💖💖

🥴😢

When it's not enough to have everyhing you could possibly want and more, I guess the next step is to take away everything from everyone else to widen the gap.

None of it will make you happy and you can't take it with you. But go off I guess.

There's enough fear without people we trust stoking the fire.

I know and I appreciate you. 💖

Understandable. Have you tried threads? I know that we hate meta. But they love art over there.

Unfinished and lost animation project. shamelessly stolen from my IG account.

I would love to be as talented as you are at art.

Also, we're talking. So that's something.

Replies that make me act like I don't care and then go take a Xanax don't come with silver linings. 😂

I swore off making communities. But I'd join any community that had a DJ and a Kat in it.

I wandered around the house trying to pick out my most boring rock. But when I put the one that probably didn't want to be bothered in the sun it didn't look so boring after all.

Plus, I got to tell my son about some of them, and that was a nice distraction for us both.

What was I doing at 11 am that I could be doing now?

I don't think there's such a thing as a boring rock, is there?

😂😂 Right?

I had an account briefly for bus reports from my kid's school since the school bus was late a lot. And I used that to get "news" when the borders were closed. All said I think I've spent less than two total hours on twitter and zero on x. I think it was rage bait anyway.

Yo! I got my first 'go back to the bird app' reply! Nice!

I guess I should go make an account on the bird app so that I can go back there? I'm not sure how this works.

Enjoy your echo chamber. Btw I have never been on twitter.

Good try. No rage. Just sadness that you ended up this way.

Actually, I still need to read the room. So you weren't wrong there. My issues don't always overlap with other issues. But I think you might want to take your own advice. ☺️

I'm fully aware of what's going on and directly affected by multiple aspects of it.

I don't need to read the room, I am literally standing in the room.

As my post says- I can't focus on it all of the time because it will drive me insane.

It is OKAY to take a break. You should encourage it.

It makes it very hard to self regulate when the tap is on full blast all of the time.

I don't think it's cooked per se. But we do need to learn, as a whole, to rest when we can. Not everything is worth running around screaming about the sky falling. If the sky is constantly falling then how are we still breathing? How are we still yelling?

I have been wanting to do something marine lately! Hmm

I draw a lot of lizards so maybe your brain remembers seeing some.

I'm always happy to draw our scaly friends.

I have been utterly uninspired to create lately.

So I'm trying to force myself to draw... Anything. Something. Idk.

What should I draw? It can't be humans and it can't be cats.

Well it can be, but the result will be bad.

Pls post ideas and or references?

You're the best. 🫶🏽

Yes pls.

Justice isn't some ephemeral spirit that works in the background to punish evil and ensure that good prevails.

The rights and freedoms we have were gained through the blood, sweat, and tears of countless brave souls who fought for it - many whose names will never be recorded in history.

That would be a nice addition!

If we keep walking away from people we disagree with they will never know the impact of their actions. Good or bad.

We need to talk. And keep talking. Leave when we need to. But keep coming back when we can.
