I needed this reminder and nudge today. My phone faceplanted and croaked and it's just the the shit cherry on top of this week (and it's only Monday). On the plus side, I've been able to read all of my favorite SubStacks because I'm not too busy doomscrolling...Thank you for your art and for your passion

Whenever I'm dealing with The Beast (aka bone-pulverizing anxiety/depression), I *always* forget that beauty never takes a vacation. Thank you for the oh-so-necessary reminder. And peace to you as well.

I want to chalk your whole letter somewhere. I wish I had a driveway that wasn't gravel! Thank you again for saying what I needed to hear.

For a little bit of levity. I read… “I wish my driveway wasn’t a grave.” 👁️👁️ 😂

After seeing your comment, I looked back at mine and had to look twice to see the L. 😂

I couldn't get the entire letter chalked like I will always want to, but our library shared their sidewalk with me to chalk, "There is always beauty somewhere. The trick is to never stop looking. - Jenny Lawson"

This was very helpful today. Thank you for the reminder to revolt by finding love, beauty, and creativity in the midst of chaos

Thank you, this is SO important! There's a reason 'spreading alarm and despondency' is a crime in times of crisis - if we lose our hope and morale, we buckle under the weight of fear and worry (I wish the media and gutter press could understand this better). Small joys are what keeps us in the fight, they are vital and should never be underestimated.

How is it that even though you are going through so much that you always manage to bring such lightness to the rest of the world? You are a treasure. Thank you for you.
