I am a boring person and I wish more of us would embrace boring. After all may you live in interesting times was a curse not a blessing. May you live in boring times. You’re welcome

My day. It was pretty fantastic. Basically the Rhi in her natural environment
Ferns are dope
I’ve been saying this a lot lately and I actually got around to doing this thing.
Let there be love
I did a couple of quotes about light and dark because in this day and age we are so happy to dismiss each other. Instead of using concepts like privilege as a tool to learn and demonstrate vulnerabilities they can be used to shut people down and invalidate them. I don’t need to awkwardly disclose things to be at the table, especially if that table is the Internet. I am a human and I’ve struggled and suffered. I have lots of really lucky things in my life including categories of privilege we ignore like that I have a respectable accent. It’s about nuance and empathy. It’s about common humanity. If we live in a space of sides and exclusion then we’re in trouble — and if you haven’t noticed the world on fire thing we are deeply deeply in trouble. I think a better world starts with we and us, all of us. It starts with kindness and saying hey humans suffer and you can take that suffering and learn from it. It starts with kindness and care and love. So let’s make generous assumptions about each other and remember that it’s hard to hate people close us.

More playing around with circles.

Doubtful
The two quotes I've had the most doubts about the design of have turned out really well. Not sure what that says.
Circles
Not sure whether this works or not.
I like this a bit better.
Let's fight

Just keep swimming
Keep going even when it’s hard.
