Jessica's "Daily Affirmation."

The Cutest Puppies.

I'll try and update properly soon, but it's been busy, so I've been paddling.

This helps.

Illustrations by Gemma Correll.

Gemma's work is great. You can follow her on almost any website known in life.

She's had a few pieces over the years that pointed to struggling with anxiety, but this is the first time (that I know of) that she has a dedicated series to mental illness.

She's been posting these with the hashtag mental illness feels like.

She did all of these for Mental Health America.

Check out her work!

Lizzo and Caroline Smith - "Let 'Em Say."

I also love Lizzo's "Good As Hell."

Reminder: take a break.

Same.

I thought this was cute as hell. It also applies to me.

Gaycation: Japan.

Really impressed by he first episode of Gaycation on the new Viceland.

Of course there's the "classic" look and production of Vice, but the production on the show is top-notch. I just genuinely feel Ellen Page's intent while watching, and it's just nice to see her really living her life openly now. She seems to have a really beautifully sweet friendship with Ian, and I think the show is important and just really well done.

You can watch the whole episode above.

Highly recommended.

Radical survival.

Something I made for a creative project I'm working on.

Not sure if it's complete, or if I'll make a sticker or a patch out of it. . . .

All survival is radical. Remember that.

Daniell Koepke quote.

Your needs don’t make you too much. They don’t make you selfish or weak or greedy — they make you human. We all have needs, and we all need to be able to communicate and honour them. Making your needs known isn't demanding or selfish. It’s about self-care. It’s about acknowledging your limits and creating a safer space for yourself. It’s about using your voice and speaking your truth. It’s about giving yourself permission to take up space. It’s about listening to your body and your heart and the most authentic parts of your being and honouring them. It’s about honouring yourself. And most importantly, it’s about giving yourself license to navigate the world in ways that allow you to cope and survive.

Hardy-har! Get it? Cause it's FOREVER.

Crybaby Learns to Swim.

I laughed entirely too hard at this. I kind of lost it at one point. Link to the actual Youtube video and read some of the comments. The seal sounds like a grumpy mix of Home Simpson whining and one of those yelling goats. It sounds like a schlubby, annoyed, shitty human man.

Enjoy.

Self Compassion by The School of Life.

Great piece by Jamie Lauren Keiles called just what you need to hear today. Please take a look.

She has this great project called Depressiongrams. She says a lot of interesting things about artistry and depression, it's a great piece.

Jamie is on twitter, I started following her after reading this piece, you should to!

You can also check out more of her writing on her website.

Denali.

This was featured as a short film on Super Soul Sunday yesterday, and it just really moved me. It's beautifully filmed, and the love between these two friends is palpable.

There's no love like dog love.

Just gorgeous.
