A peaceful August night
There's a new post up on my substack that includes this throwback and a few other pen-and-ink journal comics from the archives, along with a behind-the-scenes blog post. This is my first paid-subscribers-only substack post because it's more personal than usual.
Most of my substack posts are free and publicly available! Subscribing (free!) gets them sent right to your email inbox! It's neat! I love you!
Back turned woman with a guitar by Johannes Grenness (Norwegian, 1875–1963)
Filmmaker Laura McGann’s documentary The Deepest Breath — a collaboration with A24, Motive Films, Ventureland, and RAW — tells the story of two free divers and their fated journey to cross paths: a champion trying to break world records and a beloved safety diver who helps her train. The film also gives the audience a stunning view inside the world of free diving itself, with extended scenes shot below the surface that are somehow both teeth-grittingly tense and beautifully serene.
“There was almost something otherworldly about it, almost spiritual,” McGann told Tudum in January. “I could feel that there was just an at-oneness that these people had, that they were so relaxed and they were just meant to be there. It was really gentle — but also powerful and hard to believe.”

Pay attention to things that usually pass you by unnoticed. Discover new sounds in songs you like and new meanings in your favorite stories. And then go beyond. Listen to new songs. Read new stories. Fall in love with astronomy and then with painting. Start writing poems, songs, and love letters. The possibilities are endless and whatever you choose to do, just remember to never stop opening the doors of your existence because behind some of them you may actually find yourself.

Youtube randomly recommended me Sweat, Lift & Sonata - playlist and these images on it are perfect.
Please share this video beyond Tumblr, too.
We've shared links to plenty of evidence documenting all this before.
But the human brain is a funny thing. Humans haven't spent most of their time on this planet learning and sharing knowledge via the careful measuring, collection and evaluation of facts and evidence. What we need is a story.
The above video tells the story, plain and simple. Some people will tune it out: it's no fun hearing you've been lied to. But for others, hopefully, it'll be an eye-opener.
Russians love to tell the world about the importance of religion and Christian values, and then they do it. They destroyed the Transfiguration Cathedral in the center of Odesa.

I know most news is all fear based but the climate change articles are very very real. This is mostly on all the big corporations/businesses out there and knowing what they have been doing for money since day one. A innovation of many of these companies needs to be a climate friendly one. Thinking of the future for our children instead of the now network guys. 😕
This movie is hilarious and amazing

i am a different person than who i was last year. my hair is longer and i cry less and i am stronger. i am a different person than who i was six months ago. i am free and different and am embracing change. i am a different person than who i was a month ago. i sit in the sunlight without worry and i don’t let things stick and i look up and smile. i am a different person than who i was last week. i explore more and look at the sky and laugh more. i am a different person than who i was yesterday. i let go and breathe. i am whole.

It’s better to be your genuine self, and have fewer of the right kinds of people in your life, than it is to surround yourself with those who only accept you as long as you conform to their idea of who you should be.
