You can call me a.
I’m a cis-gender woman (she/her), designer, illustrator, and pitbull mama who’s trying to find ways to channel all my angst, fear, and furry into something positive using what I have: creative energy and a whole lotta big feelings.
Absolutely no ai ever.
I won’t bore you with my big feelings about AI and Generative AI (right now), but I do want you to know that it is not used her whatsoever. Not for research, writing, concept, ideation, illustration, design, website creation, or anything else you can think of. Everything here is 100% human made with my time, energy, and creativity. And always will be.
How this got started.
After the stale Cheeto got elected again (hard-eye roll) I, like a lot of people I’m sure, went down the doom scroll rabbit hole. I was trying to stay up to date on all the news I could handle, learn from thought leaders whose voices I valued, and support content creators who were working to create positive change. I thought it was a productive way forward…
But consuming the constant stream of bad news was just that, consumption, not action. None of my scrolling, liking, commenting, or sharing was doing shit and I wasn’t actually helping anyone. Not to mention the relentless stress was destroying my mental and physical health. So, I quite social media (for the most part) and started looking for a way to use my creativity to make good trouble (thank you John Lewis).
All of my ideas kept coming from a place of urgency, fear, and desperation, but I didn’t want to put any more of that out into a world that was being flooded with bad news. I wanted to create from a place of joy and hope, but also fucking angst. I wanted to create something that did more than add to the echo chamber, but instead made people think and/or gave them accessible and actionable things to do that didn’t just make them feel like shit. I wanted to create something that was delightful and gave people a reprieve from the fear and stress, but still defiant and good trouble making. And here we are.
Daily defiance.
The importance of small, daily acts in the big picture
When we do the doom scroll or read the news we get this feeling of urgency, like we need to make big, impactful acts right now to fix all the things. But that’s not sustainable or even doable I’m most cases. Small daily acts may seem too small, but these are the things that help us to reframe our way of thinking, grow our empathy, learn about better ways of doing things, build community, and build our confidence so that we can take on the bigger defiances when it matters most.
