Contrary to popular belief the biggest beginner's roadblock to art isn't even technical skill it's frustration tolerance, especially in the age of social media. It hurts and the frustration is endless but you must build the frustration tolerance equivalent to a roach's capacity to survive a nuclear explosion. That's how you build on the technical skill. Throw that "won't even start because I'm afraid it won't be perfect" shit out the window. Just do it. Just start. Good luck.

history fucked me up

oxford was built and operational as a college before the rise of the mayans and cleopatra lived in a time nearer to pizza hut’s invention than to the pyramids being built

I need a noncomprehensive history book that covers Known World History in time periods, like “in this century, all this shit was happening concurrently” and not just all spread out so I have to piece it together like some unpaid uneducated scholar

You mean like this?

The Timetables of History by Bernard Grun

I grew up with this book, which is frickin’ enormous, and it was endlessly fascinating to young me to pour over the side by side comparison of events taking place concurrently under different headings and in different parts of the world.

Or if you want something you can put on your wall, there’s this:

World History Timeline

I had this book! My grandpa gave it to me and it was really freakin useful!!

I loved this book! Same for The Timetables of Science: A Chronology of the Most Important People and Events in the History of Science.

Same for The Timetables of Technology: A Chronology of the Most Important People and Events in the History of Technology. Great references!

okay but here’s an even cooler (free!) visualization that goes a step further and tracks ideas, devices, infrastructures, and systems of power

Calculating Empires: A Genealogy of Technology and Power Since 1500

✨️with a special focus on colonialism, militarization, automation, and enclosure✨️

You can spend hours upon hours exploring this

That isn’t true about when the Mayan culture began, by the way. I think they meant to say Aztecs, but that too is arguable and you’ve double check stuff. Some historical things were concurrent or were not in the order you’d expect, but you’ve got to double check stuff. And not with AI, but with sources.

There were some young kids playing at the park today. One of them said “Liar liar pants on fire!” The other one replied “I don’t even care about that. I don’t even believe in that.”

As we near the big gifting holidays I, your trusted lifestyle blogger, have mapped out the

Top Ten Hot Gifts for 2025!

Handwritten cards with heartfelt sentiments that you struggle to say in person. Write to your siblings and friends that you love them. Never assume they know, tell them.

Quality time. Don't buy them some plastic that's gonna end up in a landfill. Take them out for dinner, have a long phone call, go to mini golf together.

That grocery item that you know they love but is never on sale.

Clothes that you don't wear anymore, knick-knacks you own that they've complimented, books you've already read. Re-gifting is IN this year!

Tasks and errands. Have they been talking about taking their shoes in to get resoled forever? Has their car been full of the same recycling or donations for months? Do they need help calling and booking a dentist appointment?

Knowledge. Gift them a few lessons in your second language. Help them create an excel spreadsheet or organize their computer downloads folder. Teach them origami, or book binding, or how to recaulk their bathtub!

A library card. Take them to get one, download the app on their phone, explain all the things they can do through the library beyond reading books! Bonus if you put holds on your favorites for them.

Local art. Did you know you that many artists will accept money to draw/paint/create whatever you want?! It's like Generative AI but cool and not terrible!! For example my sister paid a local potter to make me a mini butterdish because I complained about them always being too big.

Did I mention the cards? Because you can also send POSTCARDS! Not only do many artists sell postcards, but you can support your local post office and prove to the government that mail services are a public right and the employees deserve fair pay and good working conditions.

Gift yourself and your loved ones the reminder that just because it's on SALE doesn't mean your SAVING anything. Especially as we approach this late-stage capitalist overconsumption time of year.
