Our solution to an increasingly darker world will be our creativity ✨

I’ve shared this sentiment for quite some time

Text post from Laura Matsue @lauramatsue that says;
I think we are moving away from the era of social media and into an era of online micro-communities. More intentional, less chaos. Smaller, but more valuable. More boundaries, more containment.

We were never made to read the unhinged thoughts of hundreds of strangers each day, but we were made to gather around fires with groups and share our stories.

Love local bookstore humor. At the same time, too real 😜🫠

My partner’s sister asked me to make sea moss gel from the dried sea moss she bought at the store. That was a fun process 🥰 the 3 oz package yielded 2.5 jars 😍

Spent time with a dear friend over yummy mazemen — brothless ramen. He shared how he sees the world in his color blind vision: (the bottom picture is what he sees)
