Need a dose of creativity and accountability? Hosts Monica and Candace are prioritizing ART and talking about it in a real way. One take, no script, and no filters… just two humans inviting listeners in for a fun weekly chat about what they’re making now and what is inspiring them.
00:00:09:27 - 00:00:12:05
Speaker 1
Hello. Hello hello.
00:00:12:07 - 00:00:13:09
Speaker 2
Welcome back.
00:00:13:11 - 00:00:21:22
Speaker 1
Welcome back. Episode 29. Then this is Us we Art where a podcast.
00:00:21:25 - 00:00:26:02
Speaker 2
We're also a YouTube channel, as you can see if you are watching on YouTube.
00:00:26:05 - 00:00:33:05
Speaker 1
Hello. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. And we're here. What are we doing on As We Art canvas?
00:00:33:05 - 00:00:45:10
Speaker 2
We are talking about what we've created this week and what's inspiring us. And we also want to hear from you and create a community. What are you creating and what's inspiring you?
00:00:45:13 - 00:00:49:09
Speaker 1
You make it sound so good. We're creating a community.
00:00:49:12 - 00:00:52:12
Speaker 2
I try, but I don't know. I don't know how well it goes.
00:00:52:14 - 00:00:54:13
Speaker 1
All right. I'm Monica, I didn't.
00:00:54:14 - 00:00:55:01
Speaker 2
Candice.
00:00:55:01 - 00:00:56:03
Speaker 1
I don't know if I said my name.
00:00:56:09 - 00:00:57:27
Speaker 2
I don't know if I said my name either.
00:00:57:27 - 00:01:20:10
Speaker 1
We do this without a script in one take. We don't edit any shit out. Good for you for being here. If you are creating, if you are an artist, if you are art artist adjacent, an art admirer, collector, observer. You're here. You're in the right place. We've said this before. We'll say it again. We are not here to judge your art.
00:01:20:10 - 00:01:42:28
Speaker 1
Any process, any stage it's in anything you're working on that's creative. Are you getting away from the eye? Are you putting your phone down? Are you getting away from mindless scrolling? Are you creating something with your hands? With your mind? We want to know about it. Some of the things we've heard include landscaping, like flower arrangements, gardening, cooking.
00:01:43:02 - 00:01:47:19
Speaker 1
It doesn't have to be like traditional art. Highbrow.
00:01:47:22 - 00:01:53:19
Speaker 2
Anything. Anything that's creative. You know, we're human. Let's. Let's be human.
00:01:53:21 - 00:02:18:08
Speaker 1
Let's be human together. But you found us. I'm glad you're here. If you're returning, awesome. If you're new, welcome. So we're going to show you the art we've been working on. But first we need to acknowledge the fact that we have a new episode coming out every Tuesday. And last week there was no new episode. Surprise! We made a commitment to ourselves and we made a commitment to you every week.
00:02:18:08 - 00:02:45:09
Speaker 1
But you know, life has its own plans sometimes, and the fuckery, fucked up life that can happen sometimes. We're okay. We put a little note on Instagram like, we'll see you next week. Thank you for the messages. Some of you noticed we were absent and messaged us. That meant so much. Thank you. We really are okay. We just had health issues, family issues, life issues that were like snowballing.
00:02:45:12 - 00:02:49:19
Speaker 2
Yeah, I believe you can just summarize that as issues. We had.
00:02:49:19 - 00:03:02:10
Speaker 1
Issues. Issues shit show issues, but we're fine. We're good. We're happy to be back. And so, yeah, let's get into it. Let's talk about the art we made.
00:03:02:13 - 00:03:27:01
Speaker 2
All right. I'll go first because mine, I think, is going to be quite lackluster. Due to issues. I was not able to create anything for the last little bit, and, That's okay. Sometimes life throws you a curveball, like Monica said, and you just got to kind of roll with it. And honestly, rolling with it was the most creative I could be at the moment.
00:03:27:01 - 00:03:45:01
Speaker 2
So, yeah, I created my own safe space to, you know, go through whatever, all the stuff we were going through. So that's what I created. But no actual physical art to show or share.
00:03:45:03 - 00:04:06:11
Speaker 1
Okay, that might be true. And I understand there's some physical art to share, but I don't want Candice to go without credit. She has been working on posting, getting our website ready, and we talk about making art, and then we, we talk about someday selling our art because we used to we used to sell a herd all the time.
00:04:06:13 - 00:04:20:17
Speaker 1
And then we took a break from that and now we're back to it. So anyway, a new website, tell them when it's launching. You've been post, you've been adding pictures and descriptions and price tags. But tell the world when that website will be ready.
00:04:20:24 - 00:04:23:28
Speaker 2
Well, thanks for the shout out. Hey. Yeah,
00:04:24:00 - 00:04:28:15
Speaker 1
It counts as art. You were being creative. You had to work really hard on that. So it's art adjacent.
00:04:28:15 - 00:04:54:07
Speaker 2
So yeah, we've actually both been working on that because Monika does the photography of our art. Monica does the artwork of our art. And, so we've been working on getting stuff up on our website, writing descriptions, getting shipping ready for everybody. And our website will be launching September 1st. Yes, you heard it here. First you heard whispered.
00:04:54:14 - 00:05:13:05
Speaker 1
Ooh, for a little one throwback to, Parks and Rec. If you watch Parks and Rec and you know what you heard with part is good. Yes. Bonus points. Gold star on your forehead. This website we're really excited about. And September 1st happens to be the first day of a new month, which we always love. Right?
00:05:13:05 - 00:05:35:19
Speaker 1
When you flip the calendar and start a fresh. But it also happens to be a Tuesday. So that's the day our podcast comes out every week. So in two weeks there will be Denton and our website launch. Yeah, we're we are really excited. You know, we appreciate that. People have asked us like, hey, how can we find your art?
00:05:35:19 - 00:05:48:21
Speaker 1
How can we get your art? That's awesome. If you just want to look at it, share it. That's great. We, like I said, used to be very active with selling at markets, festivals, wholesale commissions. We did a lot of different things.
00:05:48:23 - 00:05:52:27
Speaker 2
Galleries, gift shops, gift shops.
00:05:53:00 - 00:06:03:22
Speaker 1
We don't do that anymore. Yeah, we like to make what we want to make. And when it's ready, it's ready. And we have a, I don't know, over 20 pieces, maybe 30 by now.
00:06:03:24 - 00:06:08:00
Speaker 2
Oh, it was split between lino cuts and and stained glass.
00:06:08:00 - 00:06:13:11
Speaker 1
So yeah, the website will be a little of everything. And so we're really excited to launch it.
00:06:13:13 - 00:06:33:03
Speaker 2
Yeah. The website's actually going to be as we art.com, so it will have links to our podcast and then it will also have stained glass by Glass Over Teakettle, which is our stained glass name. And then lino cuts for, Grumpy Ghost Studio, which is our linocut name.
00:06:33:07 - 00:06:52:10
Speaker 1
Nice as we art. So we have said this before. We're going to say it again. If you don't follow us on Instagram, please do, because we post pictures every week to show you the art that we're talking about or other dip. What am I saying? Like dips and dabs of what we talk about.
00:06:52:12 - 00:06:56:02
Speaker 2
We're throwing pictures of words and drabs. I don't know, I don't know.
00:06:56:02 - 00:06:57:22
Speaker 1
The word I'm trying to think of.
00:06:57:24 - 00:07:00:29
Speaker 2
This is a little hodgepodge of what not.
00:07:00:29 - 00:07:10:12
Speaker 1
Yeah. When there's like a little, little tidbits, but what's like a word I'm trying to think. What did you say? Drip, drip, drip drips, dribs and drabs. I forgot the R's, dips and dabs.
00:07:10:13 - 00:07:11:26
Speaker 2
I like dibs and dabs better.
00:07:11:26 - 00:07:15:19
Speaker 1
Anyway, so I sometimes mess up words. We know that.
00:07:15:23 - 00:07:16:21
Speaker 2
Doesn't.
00:07:16:23 - 00:07:42:10
Speaker 1
When I was a little girl. Here we go. Story time. But yeah, so picture me in a family of six people, busy house, loud house. And I was 6 or 7 years old and I would set up a card table in our living room with all the foot traffic. I would open up my shop, and I would sit there and try to sell my art, my little hand-drawn things.
00:07:42:10 - 00:07:48:12
Speaker 1
I would I would drop puzzles and word hunts and mazes. You know, my first grade brain thought these were masterpieces.
00:07:48:17 - 00:07:49:11
Speaker 2
It's beautiful to.
00:07:49:11 - 00:08:10:20
Speaker 1
Me. I would lay them out in a card table. This is a true story. This is in the 70s, early 80s, 70s, no early 80s gold shag carpet. Record player going. And I would sit there with a folding chair, not whatever dining room chair. And I would wait, and hopefully people would spend a nickel or dime on these pieces of art.
00:08:10:23 - 00:08:12:08
Speaker 2
I would about your mazes.
00:08:12:11 - 00:08:30:10
Speaker 1
The maze. Okay, those were a big seller in my family. Yes. I mean, I'd sit there and just stare. It's so embarrassing. I would just stare at my siblings walking by who would absolutely ignore me, and my mother would finally feel bad and come out and like, from whatever she was doing, baking or sewing or whatever, she was amazing.
00:08:30:10 - 00:08:40:01
Speaker 1
But she would like, give me a dime or a quarter and take a picture, I don't know, take, take one of the drawings. And my dad also was a very, frequent customer.
00:08:40:03 - 00:08:42:03
Speaker 2
That's nice. You had regulars.
00:08:42:05 - 00:09:03:21
Speaker 1
I didn't have regulars. It wasn't that successful with my siblings, but that was my little shop. Here's my point. Sometimes I forget letters. So I made a sign one day when I had to, like, take a break from my shop, and on this piece of paper I wrote, please press this button. It was just a circle on a piece of paper and it said, please say ding dong like a doorbell.
00:09:03:21 - 00:09:10:00
Speaker 1
If you come to my shop and I'm not here because I might be in another room, because I'd get bored sitting there and I'd want to go, I don't know.
00:09:10:02 - 00:09:11:17
Speaker 2
Whatever. Do other things.
00:09:11:17 - 00:09:28:08
Speaker 1
Yeah. And I had this sign put out, like, I'll be right back. Just press a button and say, ding dong. Anyway, a few minutes go by and my father, his voice can be heard in the house saying the following phrase.
00:09:28:08 - 00:09:30:11
Speaker 2
Ready and prepped.
00:09:30:14 - 00:09:41:29
Speaker 1
He said. He said, dig dog, dig dog. This is a true story. I didn't know why he was saying dig dog. I'm like, that's weird.
00:09:41:29 - 00:09:43:05
Speaker 2
You're like, what an idiot.
00:09:43:05 - 00:09:55:27
Speaker 1
What an idiot. I come back, guess what guys? My sign about the doorbell did not have ends in ding dong. I was in a hurry, I wrote fast, I forgot the end. Writing was new to me. It was.
00:09:55:27 - 00:09:56:26
Speaker 2
Shorthand.
00:09:56:29 - 00:10:17:15
Speaker 1
Oh, God, my little six year old trying to write. Well, he thought this is the funniest thing, dig dog I panicked, I was so embarrassed. I think I even, like, went as far as to like, rip up the sign. And I never put a sign out again. And I always manned my shop from then. Woman. My shop from then on.
00:10:17:18 - 00:10:35:07
Speaker 1
Well, cut to 50 years later, my father dies, I'm cleaning out his desk and there is a taped up piece of paper that he kept forever. He kept the sign, the big dog sign. He thought it was hysterical, but I thought it was really cute. It was torn into four pieces and he had, like, taped it.
00:10:35:13 - 00:10:37:12
Speaker 2
That's amazing. That's dog.
00:10:37:14 - 00:10:40:06
Speaker 1
That was not a short story. It's beautiful. Let's get to art.
00:10:40:09 - 00:10:42:11
Speaker 2
You never claimed it was a short story, so.
00:10:42:15 - 00:10:47:14
Speaker 1
Oh, well, thank you for listening. Anyway. Dribs and drabs or dribs and drabs.
00:10:47:18 - 00:10:49:08
Speaker 2
I like dibs, and Deb's better.
00:10:49:11 - 00:10:54:13
Speaker 1
Okay, let's get to Art. I you you started. I did go.
00:10:54:15 - 00:10:57:18
Speaker 2
To Monica special. Yes. I'm ready, I'm ready.
00:10:57:20 - 00:11:11:18
Speaker 1
So I do two things to show y'all. One is my lamp. Look at this beautiful completed lampshade. For those of you who are just listening to podcasts, you're missing out on tan cardboard mold.
00:11:11:21 - 00:11:13:14
Speaker 2
You're missing out on a lie.
00:11:13:17 - 00:11:35:08
Speaker 1
This are. These are the six panels. Cut right. Cut right to the shape. And I taped them together just for one last look to make sure it fits on this, floor lamp that I'm creating the lampshade for. If you've missed out, have no fear. By next week, there will. There will be a snake lamp between us with an actual stained glass lampshade.
00:11:35:08 - 00:11:40:09
Speaker 1
I can't wait because I'm on the final stage. I'm about to solder. I'm about to.
00:11:40:09 - 00:11:44:16
Speaker 2
Solder. I like that we can turn that into a hit, I think.
00:11:44:16 - 00:12:04:19
Speaker 1
Yeah, stained glass. Stained glass. People understand that. How exciting it is to get to the soldering stage. It's not the last stage, but it's that homestretch. Yep. Soldering is all the construction. All your work finally comes together. So I've brought you one panel. There are six of these, they're all the same shape. But of course, the design is different.
00:12:04:19 - 00:12:24:19
Speaker 1
This is her face, her hair, the leaves. In case you haven't seen this before, there are more leaves and a hand with an apple. This is representing Eve. I want I brought it, I brought the piece with her profile because it's a good one. So everything's cut ground. Foiled. Ready to solder. And I'll solder each panel. Then I'll put them together.
00:12:24:25 - 00:12:43:12
Speaker 1
I've never made this type of lampshade before. Fingers are definitely crossed to see if it actually fits on that snake lamp. This is a commission for a client. It has to fit. It has to be precise. I can't do what I want and you know, not measure and go outside the lines. This is really exact, so fingers are crossed.
00:12:43:14 - 00:12:52:17
Speaker 1
I'm on my final stage, but I really was excited to bring that to you today to show you that all six panels are ready to construct, and I'm. I'm going to get rid of this lamp.
00:12:52:17 - 00:13:06:03
Speaker 2
Once and for all. It's amazing. I'm proud of you. It looks awesome so far. It's going to be a really cool, lampshade, which is a sentence I never thought I'd say in my life, but, Cool lampshade. Wicked lampshade. Me?
00:13:06:05 - 00:13:19:25
Speaker 1
Yeah. The other thing I did is I made a bird out of stained glass. Let me show y'all. It's a woodpecker with a red crown. You know what? Let me get the light box. Hold on.
00:13:19:25 - 00:13:25:24
Speaker 2
Yes, the box of light. It is coming up from the floor. He is risen!
00:13:25:27 - 00:13:28:25
Speaker 1
The Lord Jesus! Oh, Jesus!
00:13:28:25 - 00:13:31:01
Speaker 2
Jesus! I'll turn the light box.
00:13:31:06 - 00:13:32:03
Speaker 1
Make sure it's not too bright.
00:13:32:04 - 00:13:33:18
Speaker 2
Okay.
00:13:33:20 - 00:13:40:29
Speaker 1
All right. Hold the light box. Candice, again, if you're just listening, you're missing out. So make sure you check out Instagram. I'll put photos of this.
00:13:40:29 - 00:13:46:17
Speaker 2
We also have a Facebook page now too, so you can check out as we are. Oh, we podcast on Facebook.
00:13:46:20 - 00:13:56:29
Speaker 1
We do I didn't know. All right I got to get over there. And so hopefully this is showing up. It's probably super bright for people. So we'll stop that nonsense.
00:13:57:01 - 00:13:58:25
Speaker 2
It's an awesome woodpecker.
00:13:58:27 - 00:14:12:06
Speaker 1
It's a woodpecker. The thing I wanted you to see in the light box was the red crown, because that's really cool. The rest is black and white. I don't know how to pronounce this bird. It's p I Elliott ed like, I think I.
00:14:12:08 - 00:14:14:23
Speaker 2
Affiliated it, I'm not sure.
00:14:14:25 - 00:14:15:17
Speaker 1
Who knows.
00:14:15:17 - 00:14:17:17
Speaker 2
I am winging it.
00:14:17:20 - 00:14:19:19
Speaker 1
Oh. Good. One hurt joke. Yeah.
00:14:19:19 - 00:14:21:01
Speaker 2
Dead bird joke.
00:14:21:01 - 00:14:41:14
Speaker 1
Oh, I like it. This is a woodpecker specifically made for, someone we're actually going to go see tonight. I read in an interview that it was her. One of her favorite birds. So I made it. So we're going to an author's reading or talk or book signing. We're not quite sure what to expect, but it's tonight we're going to be attending.
00:14:41:16 - 00:15:03:11
Speaker 1
It's an actress named Lili Taylor, who has written a book called Turning to Birds. And we don't have the book yet. I read reviews, I know it's going to be great. I love her, Candice and I both love birds. But, we're going to see her and hear what she has to say and hopefully get the book signed and buy the book.
00:15:03:14 - 00:15:10:26
Speaker 1
But I wanted to make her something special. And I had known that was one of, like, one of her favorite birds was this particular woodpecker.
00:15:11:00 - 00:15:12:01
Speaker 2
It's awesome.
00:15:12:04 - 00:15:12:21
Speaker 1
So I made it.
00:15:12:26 - 00:15:24:18
Speaker 2
To, like, really cool piece. I like that up. Also like, does everybody hit a point in their life where you get into birds asking for a friend? Because I'm there.
00:15:24:20 - 00:15:34:03
Speaker 1
I don't think everyone does. I, I, I mean, obviously we're lucky we live where there are obviously a lot of people in the city. Maybe they're birds or choices are more limited.
00:15:34:03 - 00:15:35:17
Speaker 2
To they get super into.
00:15:35:19 - 00:15:48:18
Speaker 1
Pigeons. Yeah. I mean we're we're generalizing. Of course, there are a lot of birds in a lot of different cities, and we live in New England, of the United States of America. So the birds we can see differ from obviously from other parts of the world depending on the seasons.
00:15:48:24 - 00:15:50:19
Speaker 2
From other parts of the United States.
00:15:50:21 - 00:16:11:20
Speaker 1
Yeah, but we really do enjoy birds in our yard. I mean, just sitting outside and listening to them sing, spotting them, putting birdseed out at bird baths is one of our favorite things to watch them all get their feathers clean. We really enjoy it. And I've read a couple of different books that have to do with birds, and I love it.
00:16:11:23 - 00:16:22:09
Speaker 1
But I never got into, like, actual bird watching where you track what birds you've seen or something. Yeah. And we don't know what to expect from Lily's book, but we're excited to go hear her talk about it.
00:16:22:11 - 00:16:29:19
Speaker 2
Yeah, it'll be great. Yeah. We're excited. Yeah, we love birds. And we also both really like Lily Taylor. So.
00:16:29:21 - 00:16:53:02
Speaker 1
Yeah, she's she's awesome. She's awesome. I kind of grew up with her. So, but I'm excited to see this side of things. So, yeah, we'll be giving that bird to Lily and I will be soldering the lampshade, and we're so glad we got to, like, be here and talk about that. And again, we missed you last week, but we're super psyched that, you know, life happens, but it keeps going.
00:16:53:02 - 00:17:06:19
Speaker 1
And if there's anything you've worked on while we've been gone, show us, tell us, put it in the comments on YouTube or put it in the comments on Instagram, or send us a picture. If you're brave of what you've been working on, we'd love.
00:17:06:19 - 00:17:11:13
Speaker 2
To see that. Yeah for sure. What's your inspiration for the week?
00:17:11:17 - 00:17:44:02
Speaker 1
Inspiration. Gosh, I, I am blanking out on inspiration. I mean, I've had so many you know, I'm going to say resilience, resilience, resilience, resilience getting through something. So going with the flow which sometimes I'm in the flow so much I don't notice that I'm, I've missed the flow. It's just has gone by resilience. I think, being able to like it was a, it was a big deal for us to not record.
00:17:44:03 - 00:18:12:10
Speaker 1
Yeah. I'll be honest. I was like, let's just record anyway. But I think, you know, being grateful for what we have, being resilient. And then of course, listening to some kickass music to get us in the mood. If that works for us, every time, especially the tempo. Because I am a classical music girly, I will put on classical music like instrumental, like cello.
00:18:12:12 - 00:18:17:07
Speaker 1
Or if I'm feeling, you know, really frisky, I'll put on 40s.
00:18:17:10 - 00:18:20:16
Speaker 2
Like a big band. Yeah.
00:18:20:18 - 00:18:35:01
Speaker 1
You know, so it is really nice to get like super pop punk, upbeat. And I can always rely on Candice for that. So what is the band you into? That's been around for a while, but she introduced me to this week.
00:18:35:04 - 00:18:43:07
Speaker 2
It is a band from England called skunk and Nancy, and that's a and a and and hold on.
00:18:43:10 - 00:18:45:08
Speaker 1
Play is.
00:18:45:08 - 00:18:47:17
Speaker 2
At the end and s I.
00:18:47:20 - 00:18:53:09
Speaker 1
Will put some album recommends on Instagram. But there was this one song. What did you show me? Artist.
00:18:53:10 - 00:19:16:19
Speaker 2
An artist is an artist. And, yeah, yeah. They're awesome. They kind of got lumped in with like, the Britpop groups in the 90s, like Blur and Oasis and Elastica, the pulp, you know? But they are, I'd say, a little more toward the, like, punk side than they are Britpop.
00:19:16:22 - 00:19:17:23
Speaker 1
Yeah, definitely.
00:19:17:23 - 00:19:22:13
Speaker 2
But yeah, if you don't know them, check them out. They have, some music.
00:19:22:20 - 00:19:40:05
Speaker 1
Really good music. I mean, this song was so good and artists and artists and it's fast and, that got me going. It, like, got me in the mood to, like, make some art and stuff. But you showed me some other albums and I'll. Because that's one of their most recent ones. But I was like, oh my God, the stuff is this, this music is great.
00:19:40:11 - 00:19:44:14
Speaker 1
And I hadn't heard of them and I'm surprised I hadn't.
00:19:44:17 - 00:19:51:14
Speaker 2
I feel like you've probably heard one of their songs because they would have been like popular when you were in college.
00:19:51:17 - 00:19:54:22
Speaker 1
So yeah, I'm sure you've heard. Yeah. You know mid to late 90s.
00:19:54:22 - 00:19:57:29
Speaker 2
Hedonism or whatever one of their songs.
00:19:58:03 - 00:20:09:17
Speaker 1
Yeah. Check them out if they're new to you. If they're not give us some recommends. We love when you guys tell us what music you're listening to that inspires you. So what was your inspiration? Candice.
00:20:09:24 - 00:20:41:18
Speaker 2
My inspiration was just, not just my inspiration is like freedom of choice, I guess, because. I had to make, like, a conscious decision to let you know the things we are going through just happen, and we have to, like, keep moving through them. But I wasn't able to make art in that time and, it makes me want to.
00:20:41:18 - 00:21:06:01
Speaker 2
When I am able to make art, it makes me want to make the decision to make art more often. Like not just because, you know, we're being held accountable by this podcast or, you know, oh, I, you know, feel like we need to put something on the website. I want to make art more just for art's sake because I have the ability, you know.
00:21:06:04 - 00:21:06:26
Speaker 1
I like that.
00:21:06:28 - 00:21:26:17
Speaker 2
Yeah. Not being able to, like, function. Well, yeah. Definitely makes you realize how much you, take for granted when, you know, your body kind of betrays you and you're not able to do the things you normally can do.
00:21:26:19 - 00:21:28:18
Speaker 1
Yeah. And aren't we lucky with temporary?
00:21:28:22 - 00:21:30:20
Speaker 2
Yeah. Yep.
00:21:30:23 - 00:21:54:01
Speaker 1
We're so grateful when we're healthy, but when we're not. I was thinking about when you were talking. It's kind of like I can relate a little bit because it's kind of like I have back issues, right? Sometimes my black, black flares up, my back flares up, and when my back flares up and I can't go for a walk comfortably, so like, I can't go for a walk, I'm like, oh my God, I like physically.
00:21:54:01 - 00:22:13:25
Speaker 1
Can't go for a walk. And so how dare I on any other given day, skip the walk, you know what I mean? Like. And so when I then I start thinking, oh, as soon as I can walk comfortably again, I'm going to walk every day and, and I do for a little while and then, you know, and sometimes the habit sticks.
00:22:14:01 - 00:22:38:05
Speaker 1
But if there's something like that in your life where it's the ability to do something is temporarily removed or permanently, you have to adapt. Yeah. I mean, you know, we talk about we're lucky our health issues were temporary, but we're not. It's not we don't want to exclude anyone who's health has changed permanently. Like, what adaptations have you made to keep being creative or to keep finding joy?
00:22:38:07 - 00:22:54:19
Speaker 1
Like, this is why we're here, forming this community to talk about real shit in real time. What are you doing right now that's bringing you joy? What are you doing right now that you're proud of? Don't be humble like no. Share with us. We're going to cheer you on. We're psyched for you. Yeah, we're.
00:22:54:19 - 00:22:59:28
Speaker 2
Here to be proud of you. With you? Yeah. So seriously, let us know. Like, seriously? Yeah. Yeah.
00:22:59:28 - 00:23:07:18
Speaker 1
And and selfishly, like, hearing from you fuels us. Yeah. It's like, yeah, someone else is out there doing it and trying hard and. But that's kind of.
00:23:07:18 - 00:23:22:24
Speaker 2
The point of community, right? You lift each other up, you help each other when you're in need. And, Yeah, that's that's what we're here for, you know, let's be human. That's part of being human is being a community and taking care of one another. And,
00:23:22:26 - 00:23:27:28
Speaker 1
Yeah. Love it. And if we're not here, just press the button on the piece of paper and say, ding dong.
00:23:28:05 - 00:23:29:22
Speaker 2
Or dig Dug.
00:23:29:24 - 00:23:39:01
