This is so beyond well deserved! If you haven’t seen People Watching yet, it’s a must watch for It’s a Superpower?? fans & they’re short episodes for the ADHDers with long arcs for recurring characters that pay off beautifully

This is a passionate piece on how the effort needed to make art will always be more than that to be "successful" but for the soul of humanity we should do it anyway. Because it's @winstonrowntree.bsky.social , there are a lot of words, but you'll barely notice! www.patreon.com/posts/133592...

We best serve ourselves when we see the connection between what we *do* and how the world is. ie: if you have a podcast about human interest stories but constantly run bespoke ads for AI companies then you are *not* seeing the connection, at all-- the world you're creating precludes you entirely.

Learn about autistic sensory issues, via a very amusing podcast! Then do me a favor and *never* walk around whistling, which sensorily disrupts whatever song is playing on a loop in my head and feels like THE END OF THE WORLD lol

Here's a comic i made once about communication differences-- when people have something to say but they live on others' terms. And sometimes what you create is your preferred voice. I'll always relate to this one.
