Happy Lunar New Year to those who celebrate!

A few weeks ago was my favorite holiday event, a #makergiftexchange that a group of friends have now done for 4 years running. You don't make anything for a specific person, you just make something cool and then we swap and steal white-elephant-style. Strap in for a long thread because this year, I made the finest piece of BULLSHIT I've ever made.
(1/18 probably unless it changes as I manually post this)
Today is a great day to reach out to someone you haven't talked to in a bit and tell them you're thinking about them.
Tell folks you appreciate them now, while they're still here to be told.
Love y'all.
It's 10:36 AM Eastern and I'm glad you're alive.
I'm proud of you. Surviving all this is not easy and yet you persist. I'm glad we're here together and not alone.
Keep going. One foot in front of the other. We will make it through. Together.

I've had an absolutely unhinged series of massive life setbacks this week, I'll be crowdfunding soon. I don't do that unless radically important, so, oof
In the MEANTIME I'm working hard on this tutorial to make it more attractive, make a pretty website instead of an intimidating repository, make a new explainer video, and I'm personally building three new projectors for local use for the first time in five years

OR LightGraffiti.club which is pretty cool of me 😉
It is 1:26 PM Eastern and I'm glad you're alive.
Thanks for being here with me.
I love you.
Heavy times call for lots of help; check on your friends and neighbors. Check on yourselves.
Have you had enough water? Have you eaten? Have you taken a break for your mental health?
Remember that you are loved and we are not alone.
The state of the world is not conducive to relaxation or stress reduction these days.
Today is a great day to reach out to folks and check on them; now more than ever we all need to support each other.
Remember we are in this together; we are not alone.
Kindness in a world that lionizes petty thuggery is punk AF.
Today is a good day to remember to take care of yourself and each other.
Stress levels have been high for what feels like forever and now they're even higher.
This chronic stress isn't normal or healthy. Please take care of yourself.
You are loved.
It's 12:49 PM Eastern and I'm glad you're alive.
Thanks for being here with me.
I love you.
