It’s OK if you’ve done absolutely nothing; contributed nothing to anything, talked to no one, ect. Yes, even if you didn’t get out of bed.
I see countless people tag or add onto posts things like “am I still worthy if __” “is it still ok to rest if __” and yes! It is OK to to the bare minimum or no minimum at all. 💛 You are still a living, breathing, thinking being and thinking alone takes energy.
2021: The Royal Australian Mint puts out a call for artists to submit portfolios of “Japanese style” cartoons, in preparation for a commemorative series of coins and artworks to be released for the Tokyo Olympics.
The campaign would have a cross promotional tie-in with Australia’s largest supermarket, Woolworths where 24 million collectables themed on the artworks would be given away.
It wasn’t until the final artist was selected that they realised the people at the Royal Australian Mint had somehow mistaken the anthropomorphised animal-humans that seemed popular on the internet for a popular children’s cartoon franchise.
“They knew exactly what they wanted,“ explained the artist, "we worked together to make sure they got what they envisioned, I tailored what I made to their examples/feedback. They just didn’t know there was a word for it, basically, or that it was SO popular.”
Needless to say, when the artworks were released online people immediately called a spade a spade, headlines were made around the world, and the furry community expressed bemused joy that the Australian government had apparently just released an official fursona.
Unfortunately for those innocent soles that had planned the campaign, given they had just minted $24 million worth of furry coins they couldn’t exactly scrap the whole thing, and they were forced to just push ahead while doing their best to ignore the large community of internet oddballs salivating at their every move.
Anyway, here’s some of the art:
Here’s some of the collectable cards given out free to kids by Woolworths:
the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i went nonverbal, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy… until. he tried to ask me “you okay?” but the way he chose to do that was by sending “👉🏼👌🏼❓” and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
