Things I'm having fun teaching my family. Hand games that I grew up with. Even though it always felt like the girls played hand games, I've been teaching all the boys in my life the same thing.
What an interesting artist and for what she did for the time. Her exhibit at the Seattle Art museum was really cool. I appreciated the letters she wrote looking for funding for her move and her work.

Anyone else find this time of year difficult? Is it wrong to say I feel a little bit of anxiety thinking about the next year? I want to be excited and hopeful, but I feel a little bit scarred by the past few years. Things have been okay, really. It just feels like impending doom sometimes. The news doesn't help.
NaNoWriMo is coming. The holidays are a thing that I feel conflicted over. But a month long event that I can really make my own, is something I look forward to.
At the moment is my internal debate on starting a new story or picking up where I was last with a previous story. I really want to finish one of my stories and I'm not feeling so inspired with something new.
This is around the time I dig into my hard drive and rediscover my work. It's a bit of inspiration for myself. I don't really edit but I reflect on who I was then and think if it inspires me again today.
Seattle Public Library is doing this awesome program called Books Unbanned that allows teens and young adults (ages 13-26) access to their collection of e-books and e-audiobooks from anywhere in the USA. All you need to do is fill out a simple form and you get their Books Unbanned card. Please share this information far and wide. I know they're not the only ones to have done this, but the more the merrier!
Kinda cool and a little ridiculous. AI art is controversial but amusing with the creations. Little details seem to propagate in abundance towards the unrealistic. I like it for crazy concepts than actually finalized art.
I really need to make some time to watch this show.

“The field jacket [was] inspired by the landing party jackets in "The Cage”. We went for a classic 1960’s inspired bomber jacket using custom gunmetal delta print and foiled neoprene trim.“ - Star Trek: Strange New Worlds costume designer Bernadette Croft via Instagram
