👏 This week’s 11K Mission: Unexpected Round o 👏 This week’s 11K Mission: Unexpected Round of Applause.

Clap for the tiny, ordinary, overlooked things.

🕊 A pigeon taking flight
☕ Your name called at the café
🛒 Someone finishing checkout
🎒 Kids leaving the library

Fun doesn’t need a reason. Celebration is contagious. And when you do it out loud, people remember.

💡 Try it solo, or spark a ripple by inviting strangers to join in. Bonus points if you make it theatrical (slow clap build, award show voice, or bubble-wand finale).

Every clap = an act of Merriment. 🌍

Submit yours at Uncustomary.org/11K 💌

This week’s community feature is from Glenda who This week’s community feature is from Glenda who gave out 100 flamingos!! 🦩 

This is what she wrote:

“Mary, your 11k project inspired me to order a box of 120 fall themed flamingos 🦩 to pass out but I was a bit surprised how small they were. 

However, they were very effective in spreading joy. I took enough to pass out at my chiropractor’s office to the staff for the amazing job they do. 

I also gave away a bunch in gift bags to kids 13 and under…

i took a bunch to a festival
and even there they cheered people up. 

I have some more in order but a bit larger this time.“ @moosebeme 

AMAZING job! These were passed out at the Essex Festival in Maryland and also in Delaware!

Have you submitted YOUR act yet?!

Oh! And 🫧 Bubble Parade is Sunday @ 2:30. 

@baltimore_cm @baltimoremuseumofart
I started the Bubble Parade in 2015 with 50 people I started the Bubble Parade in 2015 with 50 people in a 7-11 parking lot.

Since then, it’s been a lot of things: grassroots, full-on block takeovers, vendor collabs, costume contests, even renting porta-potties.

This year? It’s back to basics. ✨

No parade route. No festival. Just us. A half hour of music, dancing, and thousands of bubbles filling the street.

Because sometimes the simplest version is the most fun. 🫧

📅 Sunday, Sept 28

⛪ Outside St. Michael’s Ukrainian Church (across from Patterson Park)

🕑 2:30–3:00 sharp (flash mob style!)

Bring your wands, costumes, wings, bubble guns, and your inner child. Let’s blow joy into Baltimore together. 🌈

💛 Free + family-friendly. Donations welcome.
Something broke in me in June. The way when you c Something broke in me in June.

The way when you chop a really big tree over and over it will eventually fall down.

I felt hopeless and like my spirit was broken.

But this week, I kind of went full 360 with it.

Finally taking my own advice.

It doesn’t matter.
If nothing matters I make my own meaning.

Let’s do what feels good. See what happens.
I’ve decided I’m not “working” anymore. I’m just gonna do stuff and see what happens. 

No more editing. Caring about “insights”, hashtags, when to post. Don’t care.

Having fun. Posting thoughts. Eccentric artist working in the middle of the night era.

Check back with me in a month to see if I am the same, can’t buy groceries, or am a sudden millionaire. 

Can’t see there being any other logical outcomes. My life works in extremes and I am insane.

Gonna lean into my Trudy Weigel/Gary Busy era.
If you’re thinking… 😶‍🌫️ I feel HO If you’re thinking…

😶‍🌫️ I feel HOPELESS.
😿 I wanna GIVE UP.
🫥 I don’t have the energy for a ‘program.’
🙄 I’m tired of surface-level ‘mindset shifts’.
💔 I don’t believe or trust in anything right now.

YOU’RE  the person I made this for. 

This is opt-in, choice-based, nervous-system aware. You can lurk, listen, or play, it’s all valid.

One of the most common things I’m hearing right One of the most common things I’m hearing right now is “I feel HOPELESS” and “I just wanna Give UP”.

You know when you’re life is falling… and it just KEEPS falling?

It’s not a clean break. Not just ONE thing. 😣

But that slow-motion unraveling where everything feels kind of… wrong.

💭 You’re exhausted but can’t sleep.
💭 You’re scrolling but not absorbing.
💭 You’re laughing at memes about wanting to disappear, but also kind of mean it.

You’ve tried gratitude lists and hydration and talking to a friend.

But it still feels like you’re ⛈️ underwater with a smile on. 🫠

No one talks enough about the middle part. 😵‍💫
The stretch after everything breaks and before you’ve figured out how to live again.

That’s why I made 🌥️ Everything Sucks… NOW What?
