What i made while listening to….

a few time consuming crafts to enjoy a audiobook 🤭#craftyreads #craftsandbooks #christmas #christmasbooks #audiobooks

2025/12/22 Edited to

Listening to audiobooks while engaging in crafts is a wonderful way to spend your time, especially during the holiday season. One delightful project to try is creating a junk journal spread embellished with pixel stickers, inspired by festive themes like those found in Laurie Gilmore's bestseller, "The Christmas Tree Farm." Junk journaling is a versatile craft that involves assembling various papers, ephemera, and decorations into a handmade book or journal. It allows for personalization and creativity, making it an ideal companion activity for audiobook listeners. The magic of listening to a Christmas-themed audiobook like "The Christmas Tree Farm" can enhance your crafting experience by immersing you in a cozy, heartwarming story. This audiobook, praised for its charming narrative, offers the perfect backdrop to inspire your holiday crafts, helping you connect emotionally to the season. When creating your junk journal spread, consider incorporating pixel stickers that reflect the festive mood. Pixel art stickers add a digital charm, merging traditional craft with modern design. You can find themed pixel stickers online or create your own printables for a customized touch. Besides being a relaxing pastime, combining audiobooks and crafts fosters mindfulness and improves focus. It can also serve as a meaningful gift preparation activity—handmade journals or craft pieces made during your listening sessions become unique presents infused with personal care. Moreover, engaging in such crafts helps support mental well-being, providing a creative outlet that reduces stress, especially during the bustling Christmas season. Overall, this blend of audiobook listening and creative crafting offers a fulfilling, enriching way to celebrate the holidays through both story and art.

Stop listening to what people say. Start watching

Most people believe words. But words are easy. Anyone can promise, anyone can say they care, anyone can say they’ll change. The real truth about someone is not in what they say — it’s in what they consistently do. When you stop believing words and start paying attention to patterns, manipulation lo

A Reddit post titled 'Open question to all: are you actually listening to the points being made by people who aren't on your side of things?' It discusses whether people are truly engaging in discourse or just talking at each other, and asks how to make discussions more valuable.

A Reddit comment by Kind_Kaleidoscope_89, stating a desire to listen and understand for a 'massive education/clean up initiative.' It introduces an analogy of the United States as a land with dangerous 'mud traps' where people must choose to use tools to escape or die.

Continuation of the Reddit comment, describing 'mud people' who refuse to leave traps and become traps themselves. It identifies 'oppression, greed, supremacy' as traps, and 'racism, religion, homophobia' as the mud. Tools like 'evidence-based therapy, education, critical thinking' are suggested for escape.

Listening to understand

I’m trying to work out a path forward. I truly believe education and community are the best paths forward, but the United States as a whole trends toward education and empathy resistant. So how can we move the path forward because it will truly only work if the people all choose to stand up togethe
