I reworked an old piece last night and I made it better but there's just. . . construction issues. Still kind of cute though. Reference photo found on Pinterest I think? Main take away is soft pastels are a large format art medium.

I did not do the cover! Everyone thinks I did and I'm super flattered! But it's by this amazing artist named Marco Mazzoni!

I see my eccentric nature as a madness and madness as a rejection of patriarchal white supremacist society that seeks to control my expression of self. My mind is mad. My body is mad. I am a wild, irrational thing beyond control. and full. of. joy.

I said it on the other place but this stuff is true. This person is harmful. They have been at this for a very long time and they are not a safe or good person.

I just watched it. The AI is . . . very unnecessary. Just an odd choice and impossible to ignore because it's all the title cards. The movie as a whole was. . . . well it was a movie. It happened. There were some moments.

I finally got to do an encaustic technique that I've wanted to try for a year and it was great. New favorite. I think I unlocked a way to depict the crushing, anxious horror of the void.

I think I'm in a "no ebooks" phase of reading. Sometimes my brain just goes off of formats. But unfortunately I don't want to lose my streak.

Feels like what they really want is people to go back to having work spouses and besties so they will agree to come back to the office instead of like. . . spending time with their real spouses and friends.

Her nose is smooth and dry as it inspects you, her breath tickles your cheek, your ear. Searching, finding. You weren't dying. She opens her mouth, endless dark. Her teeth, an open gate. "She don't bite," you hear again and only then do you understand mercy.

You're laying in bed, staring into a big, too human eye while she snorts and oinks softly. The fur that covers her is sparse and coarse. Her skin is the fleshy pink of man but she is not human and you weren't dying before but you think you might now. You think she is hungry and waiting.

I'm unmedicated and like babbling at the kids and thought, what if we had therapy pigs in hospitals? And not like, the cute pot belly ones. A 700 lb sow just wandering through the halls, doing tricks, with a name tag and a handler like, "Go head and pet her she don't bite."
