Hi everyone! ✍️
After 6+ years as a children’s book illustrator, I’m finally giving my work a dedicated home: Drawn by Ines.
To start things off, meet this cute bear chillin’ on a hot summer day. 🐻🍋
Hope you’ll follow along for more cozy art! 🩷

The addiction question everyone gets wrong.

Cage a rat alone. Give it two water bottles, one plain, one laced with drugs.

It drinks the drugged water until it dies. Every time.

That became the "proof." Drugs hijack the brain. Chemistry wins. End of story.

Then Professor Bruce Alexander asked a different question.

What if it's not the drug. What if it's the cage?

He built Rat Park. Toys. Tunnels. Wheels. Space to roam. Other rats to play with, mate with, belong to.

Same two water bottles. Same drugs available on demand.

The rats barely touched it. The ones who'd used it before, they used less, then stopped.

Nothing about the chemical changed. Everything about the environment did.

Here's the reframe that matters far beyond addiction:

We've been treating disconnection like a personal failure. Isolation, burnout, escapism into screens, scrolling, substances, we tell people to fix themselves.

But you don't fix a rat by lecturing it in an empty cage.

The opposite of addiction was never sobriety.

It's connection.

Look at your team. Your culture. Your own week. If people are checked out, numbed out, or quietly struggling, don't start with willpower.

Start by asking what the cage looks like.

Build the Rat Park first. The behavior usually follows.

Задоволство е да се работи на вакви проекти, а неизмерна среќа е доколку барем некому помогнат во препознавањето на симптомите и навремениот третман.
Повелете примери од неколку илустрации, како и линкот до целосната кратка анимација.

Со вас би сакала да споделам еден проект кој го работев периодов, а кој ми е особено драг.

За здружението ХАЕ Македонија изработив илустрации и кратка анимација, со цел подигање на свесноста за ретката генетска состојба ��аследен ангиоедем (Hereditary angioedema).

What if the biggest “win” for families in the last 50 years was actually a trap?

Rory Sutherland dropped this on Alex O’Connor’s podcast: The two-income household started as a nice option. Both partners work, more money comes in. Feels great at first.

Then reality shifted. Governments got double the tax. Existing homeowners watched their property values soar. House prices rose to match two salaries.

Suddenly one income wasn’t enough anymore — even for high-earning singles like consultant surgeons. Families traded ~35 hours of free time per week for only modest gains in lifestyle.

What began as freedom quietly became an obligation. And it left single people and parents who want to raise their own kids at a real disadvantage.

This one stings because we sold it as pure progress.

Personally, it makes me question how many modern “upgrades” we’ve normalized without counting the real cost — especially lost time with family.

What’s something you once thought was clear progress that now feels like it came with a heavier price than we admitted?

Imagine a 19-year-old scrolling TikTok. She watches a creator list five "signs you have undiagnosed anxiety." She recognizes three in herself. By the end of the week, she's describing herself as anxious to her friends. A month later, she's avoiding situations she used to handle fine.

What went wrong?

In a new paper by my PhD student Dasha Sandra, titled "Why mental health awareness can harm: Converging explanations for a societal problem", we argue that well-meaning mental health awareness can backfire, and we identify how. Four separate literatures (concept creep, nocebo effects, prevalence inflation, and illness self-labeling) have been circling the same problem from different angles. We show they converge on three mechanisms:

1.Awareness lowers the threshold for what counts as a disorder.
2. It trains people to scan their inner lives for symptoms and reinterpret normal distress as pathology.
3. Once someone adopts an illness identity, they behave in ways that confirm and deepen it.

The evidence is wide. Learning that loneliness is harmful makes solitude feel worse. Learning that stress is harmful worsens well-being and performance. Awareness videos about fake conditions like "wind turbine syndrome" produce real headaches. Trigger warnings raise anticipatory anxiety without reducing distress.

This does not mean awareness should stop. It means awareness can have unintended consequences, including manufacturing the suffering it tries to prevent. Inoculating people against these mechanisms works, and we already have evidence it does.

Oва е во село Подмочани! Селото се наоѓа во околината на Ресен. Видеото е од (21.01.2026)
Мештаните од селото сами се организираат за на децата да им обезбедат бесплатна радост! Ова е доказ дека за детска среќа не треба многу🥰

Со денови УСЈЕ чадеше.
И беше загадено.
Денес УСЈЕ не работи.
И не е загадено.
Може да биде вака секој ден.
Затоа, дојди на блокада во среда (21.01.) од 18 часот.

[Рибанка @ribanka]

@ines_doodles_ @Tatjanska Инспекцијата морало са се најави една недела претходно за тие да обезбеделе услови за инспекторите. При тоа тестираат со нивни агенси. Брее. Ако е ова вистина, ова нивно право го одобрил човек не некој од Марс, туку македонец што живее тука и лапал мито

Знаете што му прави на човека пак овие?
- Респираторни проблеми, невролошки проблеми, рак и смрт.
Знаете што УСЈЕ нема обрвска да мери, благодарение на нашите власти?
Тешки метали.
А, знаете зошто?
Еве, затоа 👇
Се гледаме на блокада во среда!

Завршија празниците, и од Титан Усје решија ��ека ни е доста воздух, па го иск��учија и ги уклучија печките.
А, знаете што официјално користат тие печки?

Знаете што содржи петрол коксот?
Тешки метали како ванадиум и никел и сл.

Ова е мапата на Европа вечерва.
Точно се гледа кои земји увезуваат отпад и си го убиваат населението.

На ќерка ова и беше прво Коледе...и испадна ептен посебно.

Убава Бадникова вечер и честит и вечен Божиќ, на сите вас!

Куќите што се греат се уште тука.
Уште е зима.
Ама, загадување нема.
И ветер нема.
Знаете што уште нема?
Чад од оџаците на УСЈЕ последниве 4 дена.
Да не заборавиме кој е најголемиот загадувач и да не дозволиме да не подлажуваат со дислокација која нема да се случи..

This clip truly epitomizes the age of Instagram stupidity, where the urge to record stuff is now powerful enough to override instincts programmed into humans since the dawn of time.
