Not every artist gets the chance to express their voice through their art, especially not actors. Actors put their voice as a person in their craft but they can’t always represent their own idea. Because in this capitalist society, you have to work or not survive and that goes for everyone. Actors have to take jobs that they don’t believe in because they have to in order to continue being an actor. Or at least I hope that’s the case for people, I know it won’t be for a lot…

But (at least in his youth, idk what he has been doing the last decade) I think John Gallagher Jr. has been doing some good work.

At 22, he won the Tony award for best actor in a musical for Spring Awakening.

A show which highlighted the struggles between reality and youth, how they interact when you grow up. The lack of (sex) education, the lack of voice to be heard in mental struggles or abuse, and religious trauma.

At 26, he started in American Idiot a musical based on an inherently political album.

A show which tackles the topics of youth finding meaning post-9/11. They are thrown into war, face addiction, and the struggles of being in the working class of America.

And at 28, he starred in The Newsroom a show which delves into news industry.

A tv show which exposed the hypocrisy that America features in the news yet pride in America. The pursuit of the truth, the pursuit of what is most accurate and precise, is shown as noble thing- which I believe it is.

For all that, thank you John Gallagher Jr. you’re the best!!!

Hey kid, look at me.

I want you to T-pose. Turn your right thumb up and your left thumb doen and look at your right thumb. Move your arms up and down a bit until you feel a nerve running from your armpit to your palm. Now turn your right thumb down and your left thumb up, and look at your left thumb. Keep your chest facing forward and your shoulders back. Move your arms again until you feel that nerve again. Keep alternating between these two for a minute, or look at each thumb thirty times each.

Now sit down. Put your left hand firmly under your left buttock, palm down. Keep your shoulders back and put your right hand over the crown of your head, very gently pulling it to the right. Do this for thirty seconds, then do it again but with your right hand under your right buttock.

These are stretches for the nerves in your arms, and are very good for people who sit behind a computer a lot, or fibre artists, or you name it. Do them daily. They will hurt in the beginning, but keep doing them, even after the pain has gone, or it will return and you'll have to start all over.

It's worth noting that there are some extraordinary people in the world who have been quietly doing the work for decades, and they should be celebrated with all the fervor that we denounce the villains. I first read about Harrison twenty-odd years ago, when he'd already been doing this for about fifty years, and this is one of those guys whose life can, indeed, be summed up by his headline.

James Harrison saved millions of lives. Millions. Not with anything flashy or dramatic, not with profound speeches or brilliant strategy or any of the things we insist are the ways to impact the world. He simply kept himself as healthy as possible so that every few weeks he could go and sit quietly in a room and give away a fundamental part of himself — quite literally his lifeblood — to people he'd never meet, for no pay and no expectation of acknowledgement. (He was, it should be said, acknowledged quite a lot per this article, but that's beside the point.)

When we talk about the kind of people we want to elevate and celebrate in our societies, I often think of people like James Harrison. I hope we get more of him; not just for his blood, but for his heart.

you'll get the urge as an artist or a writer to say out loud the things you're worried about "the proportions are off" "kind of out of character" "i'm not good at summaries" "didn't get as much detail as i wanted" "i made a mistake and here's how" and that's the self-conscious part of your brain telling you "it's bad and if you don't tell them you know it's bad then they'll think you're stupid" but you've got to ignore that little voice and pretend you think it's good or else that little voice is going to ruin your life

Super quick doodle before work lol

I’ve been doing this thing where if I don’t wanna wake up early to start getting ready my brain is like “I’ll let you draw sonadow for 30 minutes if you wake up” and it works for some reason but then as revenge to myself I draw sonadow sleeping
