#focusonaction

okay if you don’t know, starkid productions has donated 20k to helping BLM organizations and this week is asking us, the fans to send in donations they’ll match. this may or may not include individual donations being given by every member, but this is really important. especially because we all know that most of them can’t work right now and all of them have the same financial limitations and abilities as we do. 

this isn’t like a bunch of hollywood people donating spare money, there IS no spare money, but what can be given is still being offered. don’t sleep on that. that’s amazing and i’m grateful to know these people exist, so let’s not let them down. we got starkid homecoming to happen, we can rally around if all of us give something. i wish i could personally, but if you or something you know can, PLEASE, spread the word!

You’ve been doing great so far!  Let’s keep the #FocusOnAction going for My Block, My Hood, My City!  This organization is amazing and works every day to improve communities around Chicago, home of many SK productions!

Their Explorer’s Program takes kids beyond their under-resourced neighborhoods to counteract “poverty of imagination,” and show them opportunities beyond what they’re used to seeing.  Explorations in the past have included taking students to tour art galleries, to learn how to sail, to serve meals to the homeless, to explore The National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., and to engage in many more educational and life experiences.  Incredible!  They also have multiple initiatives to support communities in Chicago that need it most.  The #HitTheHood initiative proactively put money and resources into the hands of community leaders to help curb violence on July 4th (a traditionally violent holiday in Chicago).  1-Day Block Club Training empowers community leaders with knowledge of technology and programs they can use to elevate the effectiveness of community organizing in Chicago.  And the Senior Viral response is making sure seniors have access to hand sanitizer, health supplements, toiletries, and food throughout this pandemic. 

In short (or slightly long), they are making one of our home cities, Chicago, so much better!  Please send your support their way!  https://www.formyblock.org/donate

It starts with a single thought. Then another. Before you know it, you’ve spent three hours analyzing a problem that requires a five-minute solution. 🔄 We tend to feed our problems with endless mental loops, letting anxiety magnify the obstacle until it feels completely insurmountable. But clarity doesn't come from sitting still and worrying; it comes from movement. This Skin is a visual representation of that digital chaos and mental noise we all experience. It stands as a physical boundary against the noise. When you look at your device, let it be the cue to stop analyzing, shut out the distractions, and start executing. Action is the ultimate antidote to fear. 🚀
