Take a moment to think about these crazy people, the pilots and the crew, who reckon it might be A Good Idea to fly to McMurdo and back in July.

Why do we spend so much time listening to and looking at the useless ones, when we have people this good we might care about instead?

@muskrat_john I know the feeling. All too well.

What helps me stay sane:

- Core motivations of Elves, Dwarves and Orks in different flavors of the EDO-Setting. Also
- Core motivations of Lizards, Foxes and Plants in Science-Fiction.

This time I kept a larger area of the scan to show more clearly that this is simply a page from my paper notebook. There’s no deep magic here: you can do this, too.

When I started publishing my #bestthingtoday sketches,¹ the lead singer of Saltatio Mortis had just played in a fantasy RPG videogame songs about that game.

Today a dozen artists are publishing songs about tabletop #roleplaying and Video Games from #bg3 to #Warhammer 40k.

As horrible as the current time is, there are flares of hope from people who light up reality by creating beautiful art about the things they love - regardless of how freakish they may seem.

@davidrevoy It got a lot stronger from your refining — thank you for sharing!

And It reminded me of all the great evenings when I read for the kids.

For november and december last year I extracted them from my #bestthingtoday sketches¹ for the friend who wrote the book I read.

Yesterday was hard. It helps me cope to look back what was good in 2025. Often little good things that I would not want to have missed.

You can see these in my "My best thing today" in #sketchnotes — I uploaded the scan for the time between the years:

I uploaded the second "My best thing today" in #sketchnotes for December 2024:

https://www.draketo.de/kreatives/best-thing-today#2024-12b

I started these two years ago when all my life seemed gray after multiple shocks. If the days feel gray to you right now—as mine did—sketching like this could be part of getting you out.

I remember more joy now.

Every day I sketch the best thing of the previous day. These are the sketches from last year where #BaldursGate3 was the Best Thing of the Day.

The song is “I want to live” by Borislav Slavov, composed for #BG3 and #Larian.
