I got my new Struthless book today, and I’m really looking forward to diving into it.

I deeply connected to his previous book, and his video series on YouTube always feeds my soul and heart even if they’re kinda depressing. His tools for coping are spot on for me.

So I may take some personal time today. And make several pots of my favorite tea. And try to put some balm on my bruises because these last couple weeks have been vicious on my art ego. My ups-and-downs cycle has been brutal lately, and I need some good news.

I’m hoping this will help.

Really important #video I've just seen by #struthless on the dangers of #online views of #masculinity, and how the #internet is isolating and alienating an entire generation of young men and boys.
Unfortunately, because of the nature of his channel, I'm not sure this video will make it to those who need it most, but I'm boosting anyway so that maybe someone who does see it will recognise the struggle of someone close to them because of it.
