"Make and don't stop." I feel that.. I have had my head buried in as much sawdust as possible these last couple weeks. My version of "line work is unprofessional" right now is various imperfections in finished projects. Some dice boxes I just made have a sliiight wobble on the lid. Nobody but me will probably ever notice, but I'm still about to lay down and lose some sleep over it haha.

@bonkyrs Imperfections like that are what I find the most interesting in woodworking!! It feels so human. Add in the wear from daily use in a piece, and it has even more humanity in it. Wobbles = beauty!!!

Make and don't stop so true! I'm not an artist but I've had similar feelings about my writing before, which I also went to college and enjoyed receiving criticism for so I feel you! I think it's important to know that whether or not something you make is good is based on how true it is to *you.* you are unique and therefore so are the things you make! <3

Make and don't stop—regardless of politics, regardless of dubious critiques.

The answer to "Does anyone even read these?" is yes. I really enjoyed this post. Also I have an MN friend who often goes to the Arrows showing, and as someone in the UK it's so funny to me that people are going to an event specifically to watch our adverts! But I'm still glad you enjoyed them. Whatever brings you warmth in these cold times.

@ratlands Oh I think you may find it amusing that the local public radio's jazz station plays the BBC for the news hour. Nothing from NPR or anything. Just the BBC. British television is IN with the older hip folks here! Thanks for reading also :)) fills me with joy

ICE killed another person this morning in Minneapolis after they pistol whipped him and disarmed him of his LEGAL FIREARM. 2A clearly only applies to people that side with the fascists. This murder occurred in my old college neighborhood. MELT ICE

House has voted to repeal the mining ban in the Boundary Waters. It will go to Senate. If passed and signed by the President, it will threaten public lands. CONTACT YOUR SENATORS, AMERICANS!! PUBLIC LAND IN PUBLIC HANDS!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🏈🏈🏈🦅🦅🦅
