(SIDE-BY-SIDE) In a public place where it is needed, post a notice with QR code that leads to a positive motivational video of your creation. It could be a 15-second mini-meditation, some kind words, something motivational. Show us both the QR code and the place it’s posted in such a way that we can check the link. – Caelan H.

Item 131 – Native Speakers
(LENGTH DEPENDS ON THE NUMBER OF LANGUAGES) There are approximately 6,500 languages in the world, and we won’t be satisfied until we’ve learned to say “We Create, therefore we live.” in all of them. Record as many native speakers of non-English languages as possible stating this phrase. Submit your video with a total count of the number of languages in the comments. Bonus points for the team that captures the most languages.
Item 127 – LGBTQIA Tie-Dye
(TIMELAPSE) The LGBTQIA community’s leaders let their True Colors show. Help us celebrate them: Write a message of love and support on a white t-shirt or banner, and then tie-dye it using Jell-o (gelatin) or Kool-aid powders. Post it on social media and tag @truecolorsunited on Instagram, @truecolorsunite on Twitter.
Item 113 – Kissing Portrait
(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.)

Aging hand puppets need routine medical screenings, too. Let’s see a doctor or nurse performing a stuffed animal colonoscopy. (On the stuffy, to be clear.)
Item 35 – #GISHPersonalChallenge
(UP TO 2 MINUTES) In December 2020, we challenged Gishers to a #GISHPersonalChallenge, tackling something they’ve always wanted to do or learn but had put off.
