Good morning lovelies! Reminder: Relaxation is not just about taking a break or leisure activities—it's a vital part of self-care and overall well-being. It allows us to recharge our minds and bodies replenishing the energy we need to navigate life's challenges with grace and resilience.❤️☺️

It has been a rough day. It’s easy to give into despair and feel defeated. And it’s in these moments when I need joy the most. My smallest act of defiance is to gift myself a moment to lose myself to joy. Nothing helps me more than music. This piece, to me, feels like happiness persevering!

This! Especially looking at you, fellow scientists and healthcare professionals. We need to be doing much less gatekeeping, and far more listening to and amplifying the people who are most impacted. (Art by @liberaljane linktr.ee/liberaljane)

There’s two smaller protest signs that read, ‘I shouldn’t lose benefits when I get married.’ And ‘ban subminimum wage’ the main sign reads, ‘disabled people are expert of their own lives and know what they need.’

The great joy/curse that humankind granted itself is our ability to see historical context. We can conceptualize the distant past and predict the far future. We can see that we are on a spinning planet in constant turmoil. It is a source of cosmic bliss, but it also drives us completely nuts

The human spirit can be incredibly resilient. We can create joy and awe in moments of terror and pain. So many moments like that in early pandemic: places where we stepped up and surprised each other. Places where we let each other down, too. Trying to remember this in this phase of COVID too.

This weekend I was at a Pride dance party with people of all ages and some kids. Kids love Pride. Rainbows, glitter, so many flags! And adults of all genders and orientations dressing up, demonstrating love, and experiencing joy. People looking out for each other. That is very good for kids to see.

Art is an act of friendship. We make it because we have to, we share it because we can. With luck, it gives a measure of joy to others. That's why we're all here. The world is a bit shit, and we can use our talents to make life slightly nicer for everyone.

This one is on a different sort of canvas. I got two of these canvases from a friend today. I found an image to try to recreate. It’s not as good as the first one I did earlier, but I’m going to fiddle with it later to see if I can turn it around. It just might avoid my fail collection.
