An Obsessive Life

🌱

Once again going to plug the Repair Cafe movement who I've volunteered with for a number of years. If you're too tired (or don't know how) to repair your stuff, there's a good chance we can do it for you (and teach you how to fix things in the future). Volunteering with them has been so rewarding.

Reminder to get up and move around today if you can. I don’t want your muscles to atrophy.

Please keep using your muscles. Sit down on the floor and jump up and do a dance just keep them usable if you can

If its alright to add: use your mobility aids! They don't hinder movement, they give you the ability to move at all. Any exercise is good, assisted or otherwise

Yes! Use those things to stay mobile!

[id: Comic drawn in a cartoon style. Text of comic reads: "How to spot a kettle: Police may try to surround the march on all sides in a 'kettle'. If you're kettled, they might hold you there for hours (they often lie about when they're gonna let you go) or even arrest everyone. Look out for a prisoner transport bus. If you see a kettle coming, the safest exit is usually back the way you came." End id.]

fear not: you can also “attack” your friends even outside of art fight, so if you miss the chance to before august 2nd you can always get them after with no repercussions. No crime will be committed either way and its actually fine to draw art for others at any other time of the year

every so often i remember how awesome the modern interconnected multicultural world is. i grew up getting to hear fairy tales from all over the world. africa, asia, europe, america. everywhere in between. i can have bagels for breakfast, curry for lunch, and ramen for dinner without even leaving the city limits. music and art and philosophy and technology that originated thousands of miles and years apart from eachother have come together and interwoven into something greater than the sum of its parts. its hard not fall into despair when thinking about the horrors but god. god the wonders.

Nobody has ever been capable of writing a scathingly harsh and well formulated satire about the perils of modern capitalism, that doesn't just get immediately one-upped by some random food service worker talking about their actual week.

Love seeing little pawprints. So fucking magical. There was a little guy here.

joining the war on kids reading any book they want on the side of kids reading any book they want. simply you will be fine. it's even good to be confronted with things you don't understand and even find upsetting, uncomfortable and difficult. it's a surprise tool that will help you later.

And this is a perfect illustration of why it is important for kids to read or variety of things, and why abusers don’t want them to.
