For the amount of time it actually spends in your hands commanding the video display unit to project reruns of favorite “Supernatural” episodes, your TV remote is woefully under-decorated. Fix that problem with some appropriate (or inappropriate) demon/ghost/vampire banishment/slaying adornment.
OK, we get it. Sometimes your official work assignments aren’t exactly the mind-challenging escapades that you deserve. So instead, you have taken to office art as an outlet for your creative and time-filling talents. It’s time for Office Art 2: The Reboot! Show off your very best, most impressive sculpture made entirely out of standard office supplies. It must include a sticky note didactic that says “GISH 2021” in the image.
Make a handwich. Let’s see it on a plate next to some yummy fr-eyes. You know what to do.
Time to put a ring on it: At 2:00AM ET on Monday, August 2, Saturn will be in opposition. Capture the best photograph that you can of the planet Saturn at the moment of closest approach to Earth.

If there’s a key, then there must also be a lock: too many food banks get donations of canned goods, but that presumes that people experiencing homelessness have access to can openers.

As all Gishers know, GISH isn’t just the “Greatest International Scavenger Hunt,” it’s also genomic in situ hybridization, which is useful for differentiating genomes in a hybrid and also makes for some fascinating pictures. Depict the Beeline or another GISH hybrid as though utilizing GISH or multicolor (mc-GISH) diagramming techniques.
(TIMELAPSE) Create a portrait that is at least 4×4’ of your favorite celebrity (can’t be an actor from Supernatural or any well-known professional mime), drawn entirely by kissing the canvas/paper while wearing brightly colored lipsticks. Post it on social media tagging #GISH and the celebrity in question, then submit your original image and your link in the comments. (If you’d rather not kiss them, you can paint it in the style of Chuck Close and use your toeprints instead.)

It gets better, but it gets better faster when we’re there for each other. Sign up to volunteer with The Trevor Project, True Colors United Community Initiative, or a similar local organization to help LGBTQIA young people. Submit evidence that you have applied. (If not available in your region, find something similar.)
Occult food? Mystic pizza. Bake one and show your otherworldly entrée off to fellow Gisher, Annabeth Gish. Post and tag #GISH and Annabeth on social media: @annabethgish on Twitter, @annabeth_gish on Instagram.
