So, it’s been a year or so since I made one of these and a whole pandemic just broke out. People haven’t been creating (I mean me, I haven’t been creating). It’s been incredibly difficult to get out of a rut; so, I wanted to share a few things that have helped me stay creative and motivated while all of this is going on. We have the time, but we don’t have the energy. Let’s find it.

Yes, I just spent 7 minutes ranting about the importance of defending your culture in the face of people who tell you that your english isn’t good enough. No, I’m not sorry for taking 7 minutes of your day. The best way to get back at those who don’t believe in you is to defeat them with your success and resilience. I encourage everyone to learn about their culture, be proud of it, and accept others for those differences. The idea of supremacy is manmade. The idea of privilege is real. Understand it and learn how to lift up others.
