Hole in the wall Bakeries

I throughly enjoy visiting quant little bakeries wherever I go because there's undoubtedly always some goodies there. I'm talking straight gas that makes you wiggle your fingers and say "don't mind if I do" An added bonus is the more intimate setting since most of these places are pretty small so you can have a great chat with the owner and learn more about the pastries you're about to inhale. Shout out to the chill Korean dudes at CookieBoy in Dublin, they been around for a year and yall gotta make sure they stay open. Don't knock it til you try it

Taking up on friend’s invitations even when you’re not sure you’re feeling up for it

I know burnout is real and sleep is important, but showing up for your friends and nurturing the relationships by taking them up on their kindness is real too. Go on that long drive to make it to your friend’s goodbye party, you could make new relationships there. Make a real plan to visit them in their new home. Or see your friend at work when they said they’ll give you free appetizers and tell them all the hot gossip. See their show. The culture in the US at least, makes it really hard to maintain friendships as you get older so when someone provides you a clear way of strengthening that bond, reconsider it. Caveat of course is level of friendship and if that kind of attention is wanted and also sometime you do really need to shut down for a bit … but make it up to them after, bake something or visit them later, etc.

UbuWeb

This is an amazing resource of old video art, sound art, poetry, and everything. Every time I remember this exists; I get so much out of it. Apparently, it's no longer active but its archives are still preserved... so that's awesome that we can still check it out.

An art residency somewhere

I’d look up different art residencies. Somewhere where there’s a nice pile of artists gathering together, taking turns making meals. Little hopeful moments.
