#OnThisDay, 5 Feb 1919, Mary Pickford co-founds United Artists in Hollywood with fellow actor Douglas Fairbanks, actor and director Charlie Chaplin and director D W Griffith. Their hope was to circumvent the growing studio system by owning their own creative output.
Pickford was also the first Hollywood movie star to sign a million dollar contract.

this goes out to everyone whose accomplishments this year aren't visible. the ones who prioritised rest over the rat race, who rebuilt themselves, ground up, cell by cell.
those who caressed their scars & found the space to heal. the ones who found reasons to smile in a world that makes you scream. those who danced again, sang again, found a moment of grace. if you felt joy in being able to pause, in being able to breathe—
you lived this year, too. and how beautiful it is that you did. 💚
