Love that quote: "People are not hungry for your perfection; they're hungry for your love." I put it on a nice Canva background and printed it out to hang in my study. Helps to keep the imposter syndrome monster at bay.
Hello, Here are a few comments: I loved the line, Weep to water the trees. It says many things to me, and I find it inspiring. Next, when I was a little girl, I loved Nancy! So I am happy that some one has taken over creating it, and that Jules will fill in when he's a little older! I will look up a current one to see how Caroline Cash is doing with it! And finally, my favorite Austin Kleon book is Don't Call It Art. Every page delights me, and I have shared a lot with friends. I take a painting class on Tuesday afternoons, and i shared an early quote from the book about the little girl drawing God with our teacher Diane . She loved it and wants me to bring the book next week, and we are going to randomly open it and read it to the class . And also, I have a friend that has been helping me with something difficult, and I bought her a copy of the book to thank her.
Thank you for all this!! :) PS. The "Weep to water the trees" line is from the Guided By Voices song in that mixtape: "I climb up on the house / weep to water the trees..."
Caroline Cash?!? Running not walking! I’m such a huge fan of her PeePee PooPoo comic zines (yes that’s the name lolololol) and she’ll be excellent as Nancy’s new artist/writer!
Chris Le Tray has a Substack and he does these one sentence a day round-ups for the month. He’s a lovely man in Montana—and I’ve been a paid subscriber for quite awhile
One of my favorite novels of the last few of years has been The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi precisely because it read like he had a blast writing it. Love books like that!
King Sunny Ade!!! So good. Thanks for mentioning the newsletter. Have you written about how you organize your digital music files?
Also, that alt-history (or maybe just the history?) of "on the hook" is lovely. I like the idea that being "on the hook" is more about paying it forward, rather than being responsible for something you might not want to be responsible for, which feels like a very American definition.
Love the title "Weep to Water the Trees"! I wonder if you've ever written about how music has inspired your art? I'm working on this for my art, and it's very illuminating.
I can go for ages not listening to music and then BOOM. I remember why I love it so much and get inspired—there’s been A LOT of Tree Watering lately. 😭
The good scissors struggle is real! My kid and I were at our local indie craft store and he stood in front of the cutting tools area awed by all the different scissors and cutters. I told him you need special scissors for cutting, and that mine are hidden so that when his friends come over they don't use them. (I didn't tell him where.)
I am in year 5 of my one line a day journal!
exciting!

So Good. ♥️
Thank you! 🙏
I was inspired to cleanup socials and it’s always such a calming thing to do.

No. 5! Go Jules! 💪
For cutting fabric, I mean.
