when will we choose our oceans over plastic?! 💙 made this in partnership with @no_plasticwaste & @minderoofoundation #repost"There will be one tonne of plastic for every three tonnes of fish, not by 2050, by 2025. That’s around the corner." -Minderoo Foundation Chairman, Andrew Forrest. It's time to take a stand for our oceans. #NoPlasticWaste#oceanconservation#singleusesucks

#worldmentalhealthday I was pretty hesitant to make this a drawing, I know it’s dark, but its something I think about constantly. I struggle A LOT with negative self-talk. Sometimes I imagine if someone heard some of the things I say to myself about myself, they’d think I’m sadistic. It’s something I am so so aware of and have had to confront many times. it’s held me back, it’s driven me to depression, it’s kept me up at night etc etc etc. I’m still actively working on this, and I am by NO MEANS even close to eradicating this problem of mine. I’m really lucky to have friends and family out there (and a therapist :) who remind me to be kinder to myself, to give myself some grace. Buuuut, I know that this is a ME problem, and i need to seek affirmation from within myself. not there yet, but I know a lot of people out there may be told everyday that they are wonderful (which they are!) but don’t believe it themselves. I get it and I see you! Let’s try to be kinder to ourselves. xx 💙 @bykellymalka

o i was listening to @workinprogress pod by @sophiabush with guest @whitneycummings and she said this quote and i swear it hit me like a ton of bricks. as a workaholic/a general opt-outer of anything that has to do with leaving my house, i use the idea of ‘having to work all the time’ as an excuse to not do things for myself or leaving my ‘work’ comfort zone. consequently, this has isolated me from friends and family, it’s created an unhealthy lifestyle, lack of sleep, etc. etc etc. this line perfectly illustrated to me why it isn’t healthy just for YOU to push out your life, but for your work, too. how am i supposed to make art that makes progress and is relatable if i don’t go out and have a damn life?!??? idk this was a WOA moment for me in terms of saying a feeling i’ve had so simply and concisely (which, as you can see, concision is not my strong suit). anyway. listen to the pod. it was excellent. HAPPY FRIDAY! xx
