If I ever reread it, maybe then. Ironically, because I didn't take proper notes, I cannot quite remember what exactly helped change my brain chemistry, but I do know that it helped me rethink shame and that occasionally I… ## [Book Thoughts: People Power Change Notes by Marshall Ganz](https://freezeanddesist.bearblog.dev/book-thoughts-people-power-change-notes/) _2026-08-07 · freezeanddesist · Rambling_ I didn't find reading this. It was interesting, and I'm sure the content is useful, but it doesn't feel like it was really formulated as a proper book and lacks a lot of anecdotes that would've been useful to explain points. My sister went to an organizing conference where she got the copy of this book, and she listened to the author's talk and reported back that the things I mentioned basically… ## [Book Thoughts: Let This Radicalize You by Kelly Hayes and Mariame Kaba](https://freezeanddesist.bearblog.dev/book-thoughts-let-this-radicalize-you-by-kelly-hayes-and-mariame-kaba/) _2026-08-07 · freezeanddesist · Rambling_ Going to be pretty sparse about this. There were good parts to think about, and the workbook is useful, but I think this is ultimately a book that should be read in tandem chapter by chapter & discussed as such with a group you're organizing with. I am not organizing currently. I listened to the audiobook and then flipped through about half of the book in text form, but didn't really finish… ## [Postcard #26: Not an interview with Austin Kleon](https://joscottartist.substack.com/p/postcard-26-not-an-interview-with) _2026-08-07 · Jo Scott’s Postcards_ A mini-break in Dorset, my non interview book review and a new paid perks page ## [Book Club Log #17 & Art Meetup Log #11](https://freezeanddesist.bearblog.dev/book-club-log-17-art-meetup-log-11/) _2026-08-04 · freezeanddesist · Rambling_ Had a busy week. Thursday was book club; Friday I had a 90-minute call with a friend; Saturday a friend from New York randomly dropped by for two hours; and then Sunday I went to the mall to get new glasses, I showed up at this art meeting for about 30 minutes, and then I had my watched stuff with a friend for 2 hours. Honestly, that's kind of more social than I would like, but my guess is that I… ## [Postcard #25: The Open Studio](https://joscottartist.substack.com/p/postcard-25-the-open-studio) _2026-07-31 · Jo Scott · Jo Scott’s Postcards_ A week in the life of an artist opening their studio to the public…during a heatwave ## [The Open Studio - July Replay](https://joscottartist.substack.com/p/the-open-studio-july-replay) _2026-07-30 · Jo Scott · Jo Scott’s Postcards_ For Open Studio Club Members ## [8.1% APY Plus Free Stock (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/VePRLhY1Ut5G) _2026-07-30 · **Sponsored**_ Claim 8.1% APY and up to $1,030 in SK hynix and Nvidia stock. ## [Postcard #24: The Gobi March](https://joscottartist.substack.com/p/postcard-24-the-gobi-march) _2026-07-25 · Jo Scott · Jo Scott’s Postcards_ A week volunteering on one of the worlds toughest footraces ## [Book Thoughts: Woodworking by Emily St. James](https://freezeanddesist.bearblog.dev/book-thoughts-woodworking-by-emily-st-james/) _2026-07-23 · freezeanddesist · Rambling_ Oof. I feel like I need to write a post about this book because I had plans to talk about it with a book club member in depth, but my experience was basically reading this in 3 days, crying off and on, slapping a "5/5" on it in my brain, and then getting on with my life and wondering how fast I was going to forget all the details. There's no single story for everyone out there, but this book is… ## [TPT Sale ~ July 18th-21st](https://keepinitkawaiidesign.substack.com/p/tpt-sale-july-18th-21st) _2026-07-18 · Keepin' It Kawaii Design · Keepin' It Kawaii Design_ 50% off! ## [KAWAII CLUB NOTIFICATIONS](https://keepinitkawaiidesign.substack.com/p/kawaii-club-notifications) _2026-07-15 · Keepin' It Kawaii Design · Keepin' It Kawaii Design_ Check Your Settings! ## [New Clip Art & KAWAII CLUB UPDATES](https://keepinitkawaiidesign.substack.com/p/new-clip-art-and-kawaii-club-updates) _2026-07-15 · Keepin' It Kawaii Design · Keepin' It Kawaii Design_ We're Back! ## [And We're Back!](https://keepinitkawaiidesign.substack.com/p/and-were-back) _2026-07-15 · Keepin' It Kawaii Design · Keepin' It Kawaii Design_ New Clip Art Added for MEMBERS ## [Postcard #23: Ulaanbaatar](https://joscottartist.substack.com/p/postcard-23-ulaanbaatar) _2026-07-11 · Jo Scott’s Postcards_ Mongolia, the Gobi March, and Coming Home Aching ## [Interview #22: Jane Foot](https://joscottartist.substack.com/p/interview-22-jane-foot) _2026-07-03 · Jo Scott’s Postcards_ “I have difficulty finding the right words \[that’s why I paint!\]“ ## [Book Club Log #16](https://freezeanddesist.bearblog.dev/book-club-log-16/) _2026-06-26 · freezeanddesist · Rambling_ This month's book was Woodworking by Emily St. James, of which I need to finish writing my long emotional post about. I had reached out to a book club member about this book because I wanted to talk to another gender diverse person about it, and we have plans to talk about it later (maybe I'm becoming their friend? honestly at this point I'm now like worrying that I won't even have enough to talk… ## [Gave up, it's good enough](https://freezeanddesist.bearblog.dev/gave-up-its-good-enough/) _2026-06-18 · freezeanddesist · Rambling_ Gave up on something today!! Finally. I spent about 14 days or so on it, which is actually less than I thought but probably still too long for what this was. At least now I've learned a bit of Blender (but I haven't gone through the 4-hour donut tutorial, and I don't think I will for now. Next time I want to model something in Blender I'll warm up with that). I think if anyone actually saw what I… ## [Follow Releases, Get Reminders (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/CcYnStCRLRUf) _2026-06-18 · **Sponsored**_ Follow a genre or a name and receive reminders on release day — free. ## [Arts/Crafts Meetup Log #10](https://freezeanddesist.bearblog.dev/artscrafts-meetup-log-10/) _2026-06-14 · freezeanddesist · Rambling_ Blender is kicking my ass and all night I kept dreaming about the next steps in attempting 3D modeling. As a result, when I arrived, I didn't even really ask people how they were doing or anything (I generally forget unless I'm asked first, and then sometimes I still forget! augh!) and just took out my computer and started clicking away. I barely talked to anyone, but as usual, other people seem a… ## [How do you stop thinking, "I got lucky that time," and start thinking, "I survived that," instead?](https://freezeanddesist.bearblog.dev/how-do-you-stop-thinking-i-got-lucky-that-time-and-start-thinking-i-survived-that-instead/) _2026-06-12 · freezeanddesist · Rambling_ The answer to this question might be somewhere if I dug into how one changes from a "fixed mindset" to a "growth mindset," but having not read the literature, I'm left asking this question to myself in my current constellation of thoughts. Current things I'm mulling over: 1. I've resumed reading How to Deal With Emotionally Explosive People by Albert J. Bernstein, which I started because I… ## [Postcard #22: Arley Studios](https://joscottartist.substack.com/p/postcard-22-arley-studios) _2026-06-12 · Jo Scott · Jo Scott’s Postcards_ My top takeaways from being on an art retreat ## [The Open Studio - June Replay](https://joscottartist.substack.com/p/the-open-studio-june-replay) _2026-06-11 · Jo Scott · Jo Scott’s Postcards_ For Open Studio CLub Members ## [Painting with Personality Demo](https://joscottartist.substack.com/p/painting-with-personality) _2026-06-09 · Jo Scott · Jo Scott’s Postcards_ The HobbyScool Painting Demo May 2026 ## [Book Thoughts: Enemy Feminisms by Sophie Lewis](https://freezeanddesist.bearblog.dev/book-thoughts-enemy-feminisms-by-sophie-lewis/) _2026-06-03 · freezeanddesist · Rambling_ I didn't finish this book because life kicked my ass. Main thesis, though: Feminism is not necessarily free from harming others, depending on the branch. There is such thing as imperialist feminism, for instance, TERFs, etc. This isn't really a surprise when you think about why "intersectional feminism" needed to become a term, but people often "no true scottsman" about this and refuse to accept… ## [KIK Newsletter - 3/28/25](https://keepinitkawaiidesign.substack.com/p/kik-newsletter-32825) _2025-03-29 · Keepin' It Kawaii Design · Keepin' It Kawaii Design_ New Clip Art, New Kawaii Club Perks, and more! ## [Custom Clip Art for KAWAII CLUB MEMBERS](https://keepinitkawaiidesign.substack.com/p/custom-clip-art-for-kawaii-club-members) _2025-03-28 · Keepin' It Kawaii Design · Keepin' It Kawaii Design_ A new Perk! ## [KAWAII CLUB - Spring Updates Post](https://keepinitkawaiidesign.substack.com/p/kawaii-club-spring-updates-post) _2025-03-27 · Keepin' It Kawaii Design · Keepin' It Kawaii Design_ \*MY APOLOGIES IF YOU GET THIS TWICE. ## [JOIN THE CLUB!!](https://keepinitkawaiidesign.substack.com/p/join-here) _2025-03-27 · Keepin' It Kawaii Design · Keepin' It Kawaii Design_ Sign Up for the Kawaii Club! ## [Prime Noise-Cancelling Picks (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/U9PwgtSVeAVl) _2025-03-27 · **Sponsored**_ Browse Prime-eligible, 4-star-and-up noise-cancelling earbuds with fast shipping and deals ## [Kawaii Club Pricing + Benefits](https://keepinitkawaiidesign.substack.com/p/kawaii-club-pricing-benefits) _2025-03-23 · Keepin' It Kawaii Design · Keepin' It Kawaii Design_ Learn more about becoming a member! ## [EXTENDED TERMS OF USE FOR MEMBERS](https://keepinitkawaiidesign.substack.com/p/extended-terms-of-use-for-members) _2025-03-22 · Keepin' It Kawaii Design · Keepin' It Kawaii Design_ Just a quick overview of the extended options you have for using our clip art if you are a paid Kawaii Club member!
