Shoutout to Mordechai and Esther for surviving a genocide attempt and deciding this time of the year belongs to joy. It would have been so easy to respond to that with anger or sadness or fear but instead they went. Oh. It’s springtime. It’s warm and nice and the flowers are blooming and the animals are out. And we are Alive. We should drink and celebrate and be happy. And all our people should drink and celebrate and be happy at this time of year for the rest of time. Real ones for that honestly

the world is getting so ugly and bleak and it’s hard not to feel so hopeless. but we have to remember that they want us to feel that way.

it reminds me of this quote by dan savage - “During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night, and it was the dance that kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for.”

joy is resistance. it’s really scary times but we are all in this together.

everyone says join your local mutual aid groups and build community, but uh, what do you do if a lot of them seem to have dissolved and the other ones don't have consistent recurring meetings.

Can't be sincerely dark without being called edgy, can't be sincerely emotional without being called melodramatic, can't be sincerely silly without being called stupid. They're gonna hate every emotion you put in your art no matter what so make it anyway and be as sincere as you can be

I freehanded this stitchery in about 7 hours today for a pal:

It was, of course, inspired by this post:
