Just like a small little set. Gouache is good because it dries really fast and you don’t need much water. If i have space for a laptop i have space for paints.Feel so much happier when i look back through my notebook and there's colours instead of weird sentences :)

Watercolors come in teeny boxes, and all you need is a brush and some thick paper. You don’t even have to watercolor, just bring the tin around, because if you happen to catch a watercoloring vibe you’ll have them, and if you don’t it’s your way out. Kinda like, I bet you didn’t know I could quit my job right now and go to a park to watercolor instead. Watercolors = I’m in charge of my life. Does this make sense.

like not too big but 24"x36" minimum... it's so much more fun than small scale stuff and allows for a lot more fooling around. you do go thru so much more paint tho

🌈i've been working on the biggest paintings i've ever worked on and i decided that i would go to my local art shop and buy one paint, paint with that color until i was satisfied, then buy another based on what i did with the previous one... the cycle goes on and on but it's so fun to just let the colors choose u

I came across the Nap Ministry via a podcast. I really believe in their ethos of “ rest as a form of resistance because it disrupts and pushes back against capitalism and white supremacy.” It’s recontextualising rest for me slowly. Another quote that sums it up perfectly - “ how will you be useless to capitalism today?” - Brontë Velez . really makes me think about how I want to live my life.

The concept and the storyline makes it a really great book in my opinion. It’s post apocalyptic but anti survival. The main protagonist has no memory of before the disaster so is completely unattached to the idea of the world so has to create her own in an almost barren landscape. Poses some really interesting questions on existence.
