On the day after #blackouttuesday I thought I should, at the very minimum, educate myself about the history in the UK as it’s a to easy to look in horror at what’s happening across the pond and assume the same issues do not exist here. There’s plenty to do and many resources to get some awareness and take action where you can.

Hello #bankholidayweekend #longweekend #justtheweekend - inspired by this wonderful image by @shirien.creates shared via @amplifierart (full credits by this amazing organisation below) ・・・ Happy Friday! A quick reminder from @shirien.creates to let yourself rest! Now available to download for free at amplifier.org 💎💎💎 From Shirien: "Capitalism tries to push the idea that we need to be productive. A lot of us feel like we need to constantly hustle and be on the grind to achieve our dreams. But giving yourself time to rest and take care of yourself is a gift that can empower you. It sounds counter-intuitive, but rest ultimately allows you to be in a stronger place to tackle whatever comes your way. But we are in a global pandemic right now. It's necessary to rest and breathe and check in with yourself!" Thanks to @thewellbeingp for helping get this work out into the world!

Great initiative by @amplifierart - full details below ・・・ GLOBAL OPEN CALL FOR ART! We will be awarding 60 artists $1k each, with selections announced weekly and awards distributed on every continent. We are looking for three kinds of work: The first are critical public health and safety messages that can help flatten the curve and save lives. The second are uplifting messages and symbols that help promote mental health and well-being during these stressful times. And the third are works that show support for and solidarity with frontline workers of all kinds who are making sacrifices for us every day. Please visit the link in our header or help us spread the word by tagging artists below! https://www.instagram.com/p/B-1KZNvlcqi/?igshid=h6pkk15yrw7h
