Saturday: did the marketing, including a culturally authentic argument with the Asian market fish guy* Sunday: prepped the ice cream custard base and orange marmalade Monday: EGG WHITE BREAKFAST OFF TO THE RACES

amen

Both a Duty and a Joy #art

once again, my traditional annual dither about making 蛋餃 (golden egg dumplings)

so I’ve got this tote box of stickers that have historically been too precious and delightful to use, but every year, I bust it out to decorate my Hobonichi

I will read every interview with Heated Rivalry writer and director Jacob Tierney because his quotes are truly a reporter's dream: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

AHHHhhHhHhhHhhHhhhhhhhhhhhhHhhh

stayed up too late reading Chrestomanci, which I feel is exactly what 12 year old me would’ve done if I had known these books existed

reading chrestomanci for the first time and I’m just

i'm bisexual in the sense that i like to see men AND women have a bad time

“I have no professional interest in people looking at my face” is, not to be dramatic about it or anything, an idea for which I am willing to live and die

shaking the bars of my cage and screaming demonically about how good “The Everlasting” is by Alix Harrow

man, that gay hockey show is Actually Smart and Enjoyable when it only needed to be Quite Horny

reading a pro romance with a mixed race character, and he is so whitewashed it’s giving me flashbacks to untamed fandom

Your last saved pic is your moral philosophy.

(Firing gunshots to keep the rent down voice) Piss kink. Sadomasochism. Incest shipping. Enemies to lovers. I write fiction with fucked up consent dynamics and think cannibalism is romantic. I also write consensual kink but that’s not the point. This is not a place of honour.

it’s the year of our hellscape 2025, and I’m still sitting here, singing Lucy Dacus and thinking about xiyao

so there’s fuerdai and there’s fruit preparation as an Asian love language and then there is kid rhod taking A DECADE to realize that mangos have pits bc he has always been given the delicious side slices and every adult in his life has wordlessly and automatically taken the middle with the pit

one small good thing going on right now: this summer, kiddo and I are doing reading club! we are both gonna read the same chapter book so that we can discuss them! there may be short reports written in my spare Hobonichi notebook using our respective notebooks!

There is always a need for more notebooks.

anyways, my beloved Japanese vendor of fountain pen paper had a massive sale with free shipping to the US, and I blacked out and got more notebooks

Mr Rhod’s bestie is another white guy married to a Chinese-American lady, and it’s been an ongoing cultural exchange for them to see the competitive generosity games of two middle-aged Chinese ladies who like each other and want to better friends

Not sure who made this but thank you because I laughed so much

“Was I Weird” (2022)

“Confucius was terrorized by the bouncers. ‘Wuhu!’ he exclaimed. ‘How America’s virtue has declined! If even this may be called a ‘gentleman’s club,’ what might *not* be called a ‘gentleman’s club?’”

starting a gay dating service for Confucians called the Man Date of Heaven.

screaming irl about squirrels because I can’t solve right wing nationalism with coyote piss

man, just getting absolutely clobbered by the new Lucy Dacus album

EAT SHIT IN HELL STROM THURMOND!!!!!! #uspolitics

there isn’t a lot to feel patriotic about these days, but the kid has off for Eid, and we took him to Costco for the first time

every spring, I have to fight the urge to block my coworker who refuses to transition her six (!) cars to being indoor ones

singing “ankles” out loud legitimately fixed what was wrong with me

the succulents have been moved outside for the summer! this may or may not have something to do with why I just ordered two more orchids

the most compelling reason of all to continue making horrible queer art even in times of crisis, is Catullus 16 ("I will sodomize and face-fuck you") because it survived over 2000 years of cultural erasure. It's as nasty as it was the day it was written but it /survived/ like a buxom tardigrade

finally an adult in the eyes of my culture: married gave birth to a child have my own Costco membership

huge shoutout my boy Allegra and my girl Albuterol thanks for helping with this breathing mojo

cool and overcast and rainy, so an excellent day for the 13-year aged 大紅袍 that @libitina.bsky.social gave me!!!!!

Someone came out of the yarn room

I ask you,

wow i. love conclave

fucking hate when people use chat gpt to describe a problem they want me to help solve

Mr Rhod has left the house, so it’s just me and Kid Rhod in the basement, blasting Kendrick and convening a hater convention

the coziest experience ever is falling asleep with my kid tucked up in my arms much less cozy: being repeatedly kicked in the legs, stomach, and chest while my kid rotates 360 clockwise and then 360 counterclockwise over eight hours while ALSO stealing the blankets

Some owlbear studies from my sketchbook #kaseyart #illustration #penandink

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

anyways, I just called my (shitty) Dem senator and my (less shitty) Dem rep, and my call was pretty clearly first that the Dem rep had gotten about it

god what the fuck, world for every like, one thing I like

A little nap for the morning study cat ♥ #cat #art #morningstudy

SOON
