Here is a cute dancing baby to make us all smile during these trying times.

If you enjoyed the dancing baby (and really… who wouldn’t?) and you have the resources, consider donating to the Official Navajo Nation COVID-19 Relief Fund.

Navajo Nation has the highest per-capita COVID rates in the US.

Paintings by Maria Pavlova

“Maria Pavlova (1979 - present) studied art at St. Petersburg State Academic Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. Pavlova believes, “Art should trigger only positive emotions; I only paint things I would like to see on my room’s wall.” Obviously a cat lover, Pavlova captures each feline in typical cat poses in a wonderful impressionistic style.”

yknow theres a lot of pressure to be successful, particularly on artsy kids whose professions are seen as useless unless theyre famous, but life is fucking hard and sometimes things dont turn out

but i think thats not bad. my dad has wanted to be a musician forever, and hes rly pretty good. but then he joined the military to get away from an abusive family, and then he got married, and then he got divorced, and a lot of horrible shit HAPPENED. he has ptsd and severe anxiety and he could never really get back on the horse. and he never made it as a musician, and now hes 53

but i grew up in a house full of instruments, and he can play all of them, and some of my earliest memories are of him playing guitar on the front porch and me thinking there wasnt a better musician in the world. so. even if you dont get to the stars, exactly, what you do isnt worthless. its not a waste of time if life is difficult and you cant make it, or if you arent famous, or if your work doesn’t influence thousands of people. it will influence someone

there are a million ways to be happy and a million ways to be a successful artist. we create what we do to enhance the human experience and relate to each other and improve ourselves. theres something to be said for just doing that,,,for the sake of doing it, yknow
