So, I'm probably kicking a hornet's nest by invoking #Tolkien, and yet, here I go. Stay with me.

in #LOTR, both book and movies, in my head, Sam was always the real hero. He refuses to let light and goodness fail, even if it means dragging the "hero" to his destiny.

"... how could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened. But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer." he says. "...there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for."

I tell you that story to remind you that we are all Sam. Be Sam.

The darkness is not forever. The darkness is not insurmountable.

Dawn is coming, I feel it's traces on the horizon. There will be much cleanup, but dawn is coming. Hold tight to thoughts of the light.

I believe in us. I believe in you. I believe in dawn.

I've been too much in my head today, so spent some time scrolling through my pep talk IG collection whilst out walking. Sharing my favourite message of today below in case you needed a pep talk too.

(Apologies it's a bit sweary...)

"Good fucking morning glitter gremlin. Today's goal: be the kind of positive that annoys miserable people. You can still tell the fun suckers to fuck off, but do it with jazz hands. Keep spreading your sunshine my friends."

The @PyGotham version was especially fun to make! Thanks to the PyGotham TV format, it challenged me to explore different ways to present a talk.

I made it during the period of my funemployment 😓 meaning, I had free time to learn how to do video editing just to produce this video. The final product was less than 15 minutes but I spent days putting it together.

So go watch it!

#Python #PEPTalk

I referenced PEP Talk in my keynote yesterday.
The PEP process is an integral part of Core Python development. A majority of discussions among core devs are about PEPs. So if you want to start contributing to Python, you'll need to learn about PEPs.

I have two versions of this talk!
If you only have 15 minutes: PEP Talk at @PyGotham

This is a very good comic, and it describes every author (or #artist) who is unsure of themself. Don't let this be you!

• Complete stories (your vision) regardless of the merit you see in them.
• Start a next one. Full stop. Then another.
• Complete and send out more stories even if some editor (or commenter) doesn't buy or like them.
• It's all practice, every single failure or not-good-enough. Practice makes you better, whatever they think, or you think. Keep practicing.
• Take from criticism only whatever helps you identify or fix problems; reject being put in your place or ridiculed. It's practice. Your art is unique to you. Be truthful with yourself, though.
• Keep starting and completing stories. Statistically, some will be good—and you will start to recognize the wheat in the chaff.
• Their first stories weren't fabulous. Neither may be yours. The difference? They kept on starting, completing, sending (or posting), until they found success. Let that be you.

Please remember: #boostingIsSharing and boost to give others a moral boost.

From what I've been reading it's very important to not validate #MAGA propaganda by giving into their bullshit fear. That's a massive part of their psyop/leverage.

1. They are weak.
2. They are unpopular.
3. They keep losing.
4. We are out fundraising them.
5. There are more of us than them.
6. Abortion ain't goin' away.

*Gently grabs your cheeks in their paws, squooshing them a bit* Hey. Listen to me. I know you struggle sometimes. I know you hurt, too. I see you. I feel your pain. I've been in a position like yours before, feeling stuck and like nobody cares. But I care. Others closer to you care. We love you, and do you know why? Because you're you, and you make our lives better just by existing. Hang in there. Tomorrow may look better.

My phone is so judgmental! Where does it get off telling me I have "low-quality" internet?!

The internet is doing its best, okay? It's had some problems and gotten some bad news and yet it's still chugging along. You got this, internet. I believe in you.

(We're not talking about my WiFi anymore. This goes out to anyone who needs this right now.)

#peptalk #humor

So, what‘s important to you? What are your #values? What do you want to see more of? What do you want to see less of?
Whatever it is: Act accordingly!
That‘s all. People will follow. If they don‘t, they may not be ready yet. That‘s ok. But don‘t let yourself be held back. Act accordingly.
It may hurt. so hurt, grieve. That‘s ok. But act according to what is important to you.
You have a choice. It is yours. Make it!
#motivation #DoIt #PepTalk (Ah well, I‘m not good with ## 😅)

Don't be afraid to try a project you know you're not ready for.

Even if it doesn't work, you'll learn, grow, and become a better artist.

If you keep moving forward, when you take on that project again, you'll be able to do it right. #CreateIt22

"The Best Shrubs"

As I was in high school a vice principal was a good man with a go-to pep talk. The talk would start off by declaring that some of us were "shrubs" and not trees. Then shift to excitedly yelling that we should all be "THE BEST SHRUBS WE CAN BE!!!" He was not very discriminating about when he gave this speech. I heard it in a year book class, before a Hi-Q team trivia playoff match, and as I ate my rectangular school lunch pizza. Constant reminders to be the "best shrub you can be!" #writing #FlashMemoir #florida #PepTalk

Time for your #daily #peptalk from #CreateIt22!

Einstein famously said insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

#Creative, if you're #stuck, the answer is not to keep doing the same things. It's also not to quit.

It's to change the way in which you try.

Why set your daily creation bar so low?

Are you selling yourself short?

No. You're creating a daily habit - and that means setting a goal you can do every day - regardless of how you feel, how stressed you are, or how little time you have.

Time for your #Daily #peptalk

There are two #principles to making this the year you break out of block for good.

One: make something new every day.

Two: let it be wrong.

Both of these challenge our views on art, worth, and self.

YOU are worth that challenge, #creative. YOU are worth this fight.

Come with me, and together, let's make something new. #CreateIt22

Time for your #daily #peptalk!

On day five of prepping for 2023, we're dealing with #burnout.

Burnout is incredibly painful. It's terribly debilitating.

It's also not permanent.

There is hope for you, #creative. You're going to be all right. #CreateIt22

I will never tell you to abandon your #perfectionism, #creative - but I will tell you it needs to go at the end.

Not when your piece is unfinished.

Not even while you're still refining, editing, polishing, trimming.

Art is organic; like anything in a garden, it needs time to grow. #CreateIt22

This is the first video in a #series planned to help you make 2023 your #creative year.

Step one, though, is gonna be a doozy, and I'll explain why: it's time to stop attacking your past self.

Was yesterday lousy, creative?

Did you fail to meet your goals, or produce garbage, or not make anything at all?

It’s okay.

No shame clings to you because today is NEW.

Start with me now, fresh - and fall back in love with your creation.

Time for your #daily #peptalk!

The moment you type, “I can’t write,” you’ve proven you can. You just can’t write what you want to write - and that’s the essence of block.

The way out is to do it wrong. The wrong line. The wrong circle. The wrong chords. Creation is inertia. Keep moving forward, and you WILL find the right ones in time. #createit22 #creatives #writersblock #getunstuck #writersofmastodon #artists
