= David Jenkins =

Chaos Dad shared some love from the wonderful @illustoryart!

Bluesky post from @ IlluStoryArt@bsky.social, reposted by David Jenkins. It includes a drawing of Spanish Jackie and the Swede smiling in their season 2 outfits. Jackie has one hand on the Swede’s waist and is holding a drink in the other, while the Swede has one arm around her back and the other hand on his hip. The words ‘You do belong, you are worthy and valid’ are written below. IlluStory’s post reads: ‘A very important message for you all (bandaged heart emoji). I know too well how hard it is to really believe this. And how your mind tricks you into thinking that you are worthless. Good news! It’s not true, not even for a second. Ohh this one should be my personal mantra (crying emoji). # affirmations # OFMD’

= Taika Waititi =

Taika continuing his theme of sleeping anywhere!


Instagram story shared by Taika: a photo of Taika sleeping in a folding rocking chair surrounded by filming equipment. He is wearing shorts and a hoodie with the hood up, his head is turned to one side, and a stiff sheet of plastic(?) covers the upper half of his body to provide some cover and block out the light. His legs are stretched out, his feet propped up on something out of frame. Below the photo, the person who originally posted it has tagged @ TaikaWaititi. Above, Taika has added a shrug emoji and the words ‘I can sleep anywhere’.

Guz was out performing at the Dubai Opera House this past week!

Guz sits in a relaxed posture with his left ankle crossed over his right leg. He is looking up and off to the side, smiling with his mouth open and eyebrows raised. He is wearing a baggy, greyish-green t-shirt, trousers of the same colour and a quilted white vest with the zip undone.

Two pieces of paper hung on a wall. One is laminated and has the ‘All Her Fault’ show logo and the word ‘Costume’ printed on it. The other one below it is handwritten and placed inside a plastic sleeve. It reads: ‘Please put bloody costume in here.’

== Love Notes ==

Hey lovelies. This week has been hell. I know it has. I hope you know though that for every asshole out there who is unkind to you or wants to take away your rights-- you have a hell of a lot more of us who love you dearly and recognize the beauty and the wonder in you. 

I know it's easy to fall into despair.. and it's good to feel the feelings to help heal them, but don't fall too far down the rabbit hole okay? 

You are loved. Period.

You are worthy of love. Period.

You are valid. Period.


Shine brighter than their hate. 

Shine brighter than their ignorance.

You are a force to be reckoned with. 


Be safe, and reach out when you are in trouble or unsure. 

There is no shame in getting help-- and most of all, there is no shame in being you, okay?

None. 

We will persevere. Love you crew.

Instagram post by @ dr.KellyVincent: an image with the following text written on a plain background. Self-Soothing Statements When You're in Crisis: 'I am safe in this moment. I can take things one breath at a time.' 'This feeling is temporary. I will get through this.' 'I don't have to solve everything right now.' 'It's okay to feel this way. My feelings are valid and will pass.' 'I am stronger than this moment feels.' 'I can handle this step by step, moment by moment.' 'I am not alone. Support is available if I need it.' 'This is hard, but I can do hard things.' 'I am allowed to take care of myself right now.' 'My breath is my anchor. Inhale calm, exhale tension.' 'I am not my thoughts; I am the observer of my thoughts.' 'I can let go of what I can't control and focus on what I can.' 'I can reach for one small thing that feels comforting or grounding.' 'I am doing the best I can with what I have right now.'
