Dear community,

Special Fish needs your support now.

For the entire month of February, I'm asking the community to help keep Special Fish running. I run this site entirely on my own as a working artist, living off my work.

Special Fish depends on users like you for hosting, maintenance, and keeping the site running. Every user costs the site money. If you use Special Fish regularly or just don't want to see it go away, please consider supporting it. A yearly contribution of $40 is suggested (that comes out to $3.33 per month). Supporters pay for users who don't have the means to support the site.

thinking about

  • noise
  • scarcity
  • shame
  • hyper-independence
  • overworking
  • nine of wands/thoth - apparition of a threat

notes

  • relationship is the project
  • living intentionally is a creative process in itself
  • separate analysis from creativityโ€”when we canโ€™t play, work
  • always work in intentional containers of time
  • we must enjoy the processโ€”derive as much pleasure as possible, focus on generating the work and trust that the solution will come
  • and loving the work and believing in the work and committing to the work in tangible, concrete ways are one hundred percent our responsibility, always
  • we create our own magic
