To everyone studying for their finals, I hope the best for you. Keep putting effort into your studies and projects until you turn them in. Then, enjoy your rest.
I'm saddened to hear that Faith Ringgold passed away recently, but I'm glad she had a long, wonderful life. I do remember a few of her children's books as a kid, and I was really entranced by the art style in showing how the kids were flying. I always wanted to fly as a child, so that got my attention pretty well.
I'm also rather sad to hear of Mandisa passing away, too. I do remember a song of hers that helped me mentally where I was at about a decade ago. I hope nothing too bad occurred in causing her death. She struggled with many things in her life with her mental health and some other traumas, and I hope the best for her eternity with the Lord.
yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad
And the actually nice Christian groups that are focused on something else other than doctrine are barely active themselves...
I'm just stuck outta luck.
The more I am on Reddit, exploring some of the Christian subreddits in particular, the more I really have to put in effort in reading their rules and FAQs because it's rather eye-opening to see what some of them are actually about based on the posts available to read. It's not as what one expects, and like here, I can barely find a group that I can really talk to and relate about my faith without being seen as suspicious.

Me writing: —and then he’s in a situation where he HAS to accept help from his friends and family and he learns that he’s loved and appreciated and needs to accept help more and—
Me when I’m in a similar situation: I hate this more than I’ve ever hated anything at all ever
this is like 100% petty all things considered but i just can’t wait until some of u learn that it is absolutely normal for people of any age to refer to their dads as “daddy” in many parts of the south like it isn’t a red flag there. 60 year old women in my family still refer to their dads as “daddy.” and btw i think anyone should be allowed to call their own fathers whatever they want without someone either making it nasty or being accusatory like don’t you get tired of making ppl uncomfortable for no reason
I told a stranger this little bit of advice earlier today and I think more people need to hear it:
People not interacting with your work is a morally neutral thing, especially when you're just starting out.
Not getting the interaction you're wanting doesn't mean your work is inherently bad. Doesn't mean your stories are not worth the time to be heard. Doesn't mean you're incapable of growth.
Being a part of the comics community is less about trying to fit in and finding complete validation from others and more about building a space all your own and inviting others to join you. People will come and go but you're the one whose opinion and attention matters most. That space is gonna grow and change as you go through that but the thing is you've gotta put in the work to make it exist, and we all start somewhere.
Be kind to the present you, look forward to the future you, and be proud of what those two yous can make together.
You know what? I believe that you can finish your writing project. I believe you can update your fic. I believe you can work on your WIP. I don't care if you think it's cringy or bad. I don't care if we've never met or interacted in our whole lives. I believe in you. Keep going - you've got this.
The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky shows His handiwork.
Day to day they speak,
night to night they reveal knowledge.
There is no speech, no words,
where their voice goes unheard.
Their voice has gone out to all the earth
and their words to the end of the world.
•Psalm 19•
