Finally finished this beast of a build. Hardest thing I’ve ever made in my life as a first time baker from scratch. (I don’t count pancakes in a box lol) #gingerbread #christmas2025 #happyholidays

Screenshot of Substack Notes post by Amie McNee that says “The creative act will give you both sanctuary AND power. It soothes gently and reminds you of your immense capability to enact change,” with a photo below it of painted quotes. The one centered in the photograph is black with white lettering in a white picture frame. It says “When the world is too scary, too loud, too unjust: stop consuming. start creating.”

Drawing with a rainbow, sun and clouds over a forest with people of all colors and ages and sizes. Like one person riding a bike with flowers in the basket, and a lady walking her dog.

The message says: “You can pass laws, ban books, tell us we don’t exist but we’re still here drinking our coffee, singing in the shower, walking our dogs, loving each other”.

Our solution to an increasingly darker world will be our creativity ✨

Photo of a quote from The Artist’s Way. “Why should we all use our creative power …? Because there is nothing that makes people so generous, joyful, lively, bold and compassionate, so indifferent to fighting and the accumulation of objects and money.” —Brenda Ueland

Substack Notes post by J.Friday that says “You won’t hear this on the news but Scotland and other countries have declared their economy will be based on wellbeing, not GDP.

And They’re not alone. Countries worldwide are making the same shift.

But here’s the thing: people aren’t waiting for governments. They’re building wellbeing economies themselves through cooperatives, people’s assemblies, and businesses that put purpose over profit.”

Idk 🥲

Christian Joy@cjoyandexpand· May 27

I’ve shared this sentiment for quite some time

Text post from Laura Matsue @lauramatsue that says;
I think we are moving away from the era of social media and into an era of online micro-communities. More intentional, less chaos. Smaller, but more valuable. More boundaries, more containment.

We were never made to read the unhinged thoughts of hundreds of strangers each day, but we were made to gather around fires with groups and share our stories.

💞 1st

Text that says: “it’s impossible,” said pride. “It’s risky,” said experience. “It’s pointless,” said reason. “Give it a try,” whispered the heart.

Love for all the teachers out there 💕

Love local bookstore humor. At the same time, too real 😜🫠
