Feats of the Week 23
PONDERED
Things are pretty bleak. The world is falling apart. Life gets better and then we forget how bad things can be. Bad people come along and trick us into thinking things are worse than they are. They take power and life gets worse for everybody (except for the wealthy). Life will eventually get better again. But it may not happen within our lifetimes. Trump and Musk are dismantling things pretty rapidly. Their wrongdoing is already causing havoc around the world.
You know what's nice though? Making stuff. It's not going to fix anything. But we can restore a little sanity to our personal lives if we take some time to screw around. Let's make some songs, write some stories and draw some pictures.
This stuff doesn't have to be marketable. You don't need to monetize your hobbies. That path can lead to madness. Just make some stuff and put on it on the internet. Share it and say look at this little thing that I drew. It may not be great, but it was fun.
