Just discovered this site and I'm about to watch a bunch of whimsical little films on this very foggy, very windy winter day. https://wikiflix.toolforge.org/#/ #whimsytips #oldfilms #nosferatu #metropolis
I have two people staying in my house who get so excited with everything I do and don't expect of push me to do more, and it makes it so that I have so much more energy to do fun things for them. I've started two creative projects on top of the two ongoing projects I have more people to take a part of (all small low pressure projects --for the most part.) And the energy and vibe is so pleasant, so symbiotic. When people are willing to to give: the benefit of a doubt, their vulnerability, their time and energy, their creativity --thats fodder and tinder for magic & connection. That's how things start. #collectivecare #whimsytips #cocreating
I didn't mean to but I started a hashtag. You cannot buy, stream, or steal hope. You can only manufacture it yourself or share it. A big way of doing that for me is romanticizing the hell out of my life and noticing the whimsy. A huge part of it is listening to others. Creating things with my hands. Crafting without an audience in mind. Let's play through connection. #community #connection #radicalhope #leftist #collectivecare #whimsytips #whimsical #hope #cocreate
You also aren't going to get the same level of whimsy through something that has been hand-made than something that's been factory-made. Paper over plastic. #whimsytips
My #HotTake is that you can't achieve whimsy through modern technology. That feeling of magic and fantasy is about connecting back to the mystery of life. This is done by connecting to the natural landscape around us, with ourselves, with each other. The more raw and unplugged and creative, the more whimsical it truly is. Sticks and stones are whimsy ingredients. A phone or computer are not. #whimsytips
