I love fall and I won't be hearing anything from anyone who says it doesn't start until September 20th. no one ever says winter doesn't start until december 20th
brutal couple of days but also so beautiful to see the outpouring of love and gratitude and reflection on why we care so much about the celebrities who touch our lives

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a book gifting program that mails free books to children from birth until they begin school in participating areas.

imo everyone should go read a book and donate to the imagination library and/or your local library if you can today. go fight back against the literacy crisis and the war on books and libraries in her memory
In my 30s I will overcome the crushing shame of expressing opinions and sharing my creative works and presenting physically in a way that brings me joy
i'm firmly of the belief that everyone should have a creative hobby. even if you aren't "good" at it. it keeps your critical thinking skills engaged, it reminds you that you're still capable of learning and growing and improving at things, it helps you connect to other people. you gotta make stuff!
Know that libraries count things. How many people have cards, how many times a book or DVD or CD is checked out, etc. And then we take those numbers to our internal staff and say "look, people want this" to justify purchases, and then to local govts to say "look, we need to stay open".

more than one person in the replies has told me they didn't know source of the original quote, so I am posting it for everyone to read because it's very good
the response to the rfk jr "autistic kids can't do x y z" clip is pissing me off again please tell me you know and believe that disabled people and their lives and happiness matter even when they actually cannot do any of those things.
genuinely infuriating how much stuff only exists online on instagram AND also they don't mention their location fucking anywhere. i'm just supposed to already know if this business being recommended to me is local or in colorado or something
YALL FR Instagram blocks your content from anyone who doesn’t have an account or the app. The number of times I find an artist who’s only on IG and I’m like “damn okay 🪦🥀” and just leave.

The Dammitch - Artist and Streamer@thedammitch.bsky.social · 6mo agoIf you are commissioning an artist, and want a specific pose, don't run to genAI to try and make it for you. Draw a stick person. Stick person poses are beloved among all artists. We can see exactly what you want. Do not fear sending the stick person. The stick person is magical.
happy pride! i'll be reposting some of my older work this month
