#HumanArtNotAI Artistic Reflections of Worldly Events: Narcissist is an ancient Greek Archetype, a story of a man so obsessed with his own reflection, he got himself lost gazing into a pool. (Graphite & Watercolor Crayons)
Even bigger than Tilton's Folly in New Hampshire, USA. What's with rich dudes trying to replicate Roman architecture 🙄
I'm just gonna leave this irony here. Photo of pg. 183 of Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Graphic edition of On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder, highly recommend.
Years ago, nay decades ago, I purchased this refrigerator magnet. I always thought it was a little joke. It's not funny anymore.
Looks a lot like Tilton's Folly, some replica of the Romsn Victory Arch a rich man made to memorialize him in his town, but the town just put him in the local cemetery and hid his arch instead: kids.kiddle.co/Memorial_Arc...
Sometimes, these days, I think about the novel smuggled out of Russia during the Russian Revolution: Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak. A story of a life, from birth to death, just trying to live his life, while the world around him crashes and changes to the core, but there is life, and so do we.
Self-Care Sunday: My new Self-Care is mindfully solving rubix cubes. Taking a few moments to focus on a solvable puzzle, gives a few moment relief from all the unsolvable life puzzles. A needed relief. What's yours?
My landlord sent a tenant letter that ended with: "Thank you for your attention to this matter." If you just cringed like I did, we're friends.
Psychology Sunday: We are in a Collective Trauma. Reducing effects of Trauma to maintain our capacity to be functional is a skill. This is Self-Care, to return to the important tasks at hand. I solve Rubix Cubes, takes about an hour. Research indicates Tetris is helpful: www.ox.ac.uk/news/2017-03...
I haven't even finished my coffee yet on day 3 😳 *gestures wildly at all the things*
