Gouache painting:
A nighttime foggy/misty scene where two tall tree trunks stand watch with a ghost between them. Off in the distance is a forest of fir trees, and a tiny crescent moon hangs in the starry sky.

A year ago, I came up with the phrase Doom Dopamine: the unconscious reward we give people for spreading doom.

Take a minute to like positive posts.

Cause when alarmist content goes viral & positive posts get 5 likes, it engineers our brains to think doom is rewarding & positivity is not. 🧡

Want to start reading Superhero comics, but are intimidated by the massive lore/hundreds of back issues? I got ya.

Here are a few hints:

1. People will kill me for saying this, but the lore doesn't matter (except to folks like me). Or, it matters less than you might think. Don't let it stop you.

Folks, please don’t tell artists they shouldn’t be making or selling their art right now. For many, it’s how they pay the bills. Art is vital during times like this. ALL ART. Whether it’s a protest sign or a book cover or just a beautiful drawing. It’s part of the heart of humanity.

What @prisonculture.bsky.social always says is: find the thing you can do and do it. You can’t do all the things. (Or something like that but more eloquent). I remind myself when I feel I should be writing marching observing delivering organizing meeting reporting shopping

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

If you're a writer, wondering why you should bother writing with the world on fire. It feels like it's not important, I need you to understand that it is.

Even if it is just because it keeps you moving forward? Even if it only brings YOU joy, that gives you energy to fight & survive.

We have to be clear about what the Trump Administration is doing: They are taking basic American virtues and freedoms β€” the ability to speak truth to power and freely β€” and turning them into crimes. We must see through this.

A lot of replies here (obviously from people not already aware of The Discourse on this point) were genuinely confused variants on "But why, they're right, that's a valid concern." Let me leave a short thread for future readers explaining why that stuff is always unwelcome on here. (1/n)

If you let them, the horrors will devour you whole. Making space to live and smile is an act of resistance. So is helping others to do the same. If you’re an artist in this time, remember that what you’re doing is part of the emotional support infrastructure. They want you silent. 1/2

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like RenΓ©e Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
