Oh my god, I also just set my metronome for the tempo on the piece at 67, and was like... Surely it's not that slow. Girl. It's in cut time. I think I need sleep.

Have you ever read music and then have to stop because you suddenly realize you have no idea what note is on that ledger line? And it's not like five ledger lines, it's like two. It's like forgetting a letter in the alphabet. And not a weird one like x or z, but a normal one. Like an R.

Grammar is only the framework for meaning. So AI can make things grammatically correct and devoid of meaning. Grammar only works if you hang meaning on it, and AI only does that by accident.

If you have even a shred of self-respect or respect for others, you really shouldn't use Chat GPT to do your work for you. It's a simulacrum of coherence. Far away it seems like organized English, but the closer you get, it's a big old mess.

Weight loss is the blood-letting of our era. We prescribe for everything, and it only helps very few and actively harms others.

It is acceptable. Not at all what I thought it would be, but acceptable.

Making something from scratch, not taste testing it a SINGLE time. I sure hope it's good.

Not quite done, but it is getting there! I was trying to do a study on Margaret MacDonald Mackintosh at the suggestion of @crystal-limeade.bsky.social, but about one quarter of the way in I said, "No. My way." The influence is there, for sure. Just not immediately evident.

Is this a girl dinner?

Watching Defunctland where he struggles with the definition of Living Character, and I said out loud to no one, "Welcome to semiotics, my friend."

Well, this study really decided to go its own way. Anyway, here’s Sailor Moon via Me trying to mimic Yoshitaka Amano. #art

I'm just realizing now that Yoshitaka Amano is like a mix between Ukiyoe and Klimt.

Um, this is going well. Way better than last time I tried to do a study on Yoshitaka Amano. I'm almost afraid to try laying down colors cuz it took me so long to understand his shapes. #art #sailormoon

One of these days, I'll buy powdered sugar just in case, and not come home to two and half bags of it in the pantry.

This image has stuck in my head for over twenty years, so I thought I’d try to do a study of it. #lodoss #deedlit #kisekinoumi #fanart

Ever been at a show and people are having the boringest conversation behind you, and you're like why?

I don't know why, but the image of Ciara Kelly descending to a diving board while possessed by a demon, looking completely strung out really stuck in my head. There was no outfit description so I ended up letting her be Ginger Spice. Sharing now cuz I don't think I'll finish it. #hrmc

Very brave of us to think we are in Late-Stage Capitalism. I would love to know in the future they are like "So, during the middle feudalism era..."

I just mistranslated something, so now it's mine. "We'll follow time until it stops" is a beautiful thought.

The problem with trying to be better as a person and friend by learning how to slow down is that I'm not seeing results fast enough to see if I'm doing it right.

I hate satin stitching and I don't care who knows it.

Was listening to the top 40 playlist on Spotify (I think) at the hairstylist and ended up ranting about how if art is going to use other art, it needs to be in dialogue with that other art, not just using it as a hook. Someone, please turn me off.

Slowcooked a dinner all day, and now all I want is gummy bears for dinner.

How I feel when the thing I predicted at work would happen just happened.

Lol, they're in season now. No wonder they taste good.

Weird question... do bananas taste better now?

I found my "Worst in Her 4H Club" award from when I was 10 or something.

Why do I have to watch a commercial to watch a commercial on YouTube?

If I were rich, I would pay to have SO many things translated. German musicals, Albanian Punk, Kazakh comics. I want to see them all. I'd allow others to experience them, maybe on as "pay as you can" system so money goes back to the creators. I just think we're all so hungry and the world is full.

Hey, if you are narrating a book, I am willing to be available on the cheap to tell you how to pronounce words and names you do not know on demand so it doesn't interrupt your recording flow. //This post brought to you by Vegeta pronounced Va-ghee-ta and oyakudon pronounced O-you-codone.

Looking around for my hairbrush, getting increasingly anxious. I'm crying. Larry the Cucumber stands behind me, gun pointed to my head: "SING THE SONG!" "No. Please." "SING IT OR ELSE!" "Oh where *sob sob* is my hairbrush? *sobbing continues* Oh where... *sobbing intesifies*"

Hurkle your durkles while you can, young man.

What if I got a cat and named it Legolas just so I could ask what he saw with his Elven eyes?

"You look like someone who can keep plants alive." Best compliment I have ever received. I absolutely cannot keep plants alive, but I'm glad I look it.

I miss you in the smallest moments.

Fucking diabolical. Bought a set of ribbons. Only two yards on each spool. Are you fucking kidding me?

Lololol, I thought this was deep but the. I woke up in a sweaty panic because I remembered the phase of the moon is the same for everywhere lololololol

We look up at the same moon, but what face does it show to you?

Why is it so hard for others to understand that respect is owed, and not deserved. I'm not asking for obedience, only that you hold space for the possibility that viewpoint matters, even just a little.

The pure joy of guessing exactly what Todd in the Shadows is going to say before he says it. Fucking finally someone else is saying music is sounding REAL evangelical these days, and I don't even mean lyrics-wise.

I really love scifi, but the amount of times they use Daddy issues as an emotional through line is starting to get embarrassing.

I think it helps to know that a personality is just a pattern, not a rule.

I'm happy to report that—for tonight, at least—the kids are alright.

I had no idea I was THIS emotionally stunted.

Sooooo.... I'm way too old to be at a Car Seat Headrest concert it turns out.

Believe it or not, "Discovery Weekly," I DO know who Stevie Nicks is.

Lidocaine is a miracle. Maybe I WON'T give up longboarding after biffing it twice a mile away from home and having to limp home with road rash.

The two people next to me were thin too! No self awareness at all. Such an uncomfortable flight. Never choose a middle seat amongst the people who paid extra to get seats toward the front on Southwest.

Can someone tell engineers that arguing IS NOT discussing?

One of the shitty things about being vulnerable about your triggers is someone is absolutely going to use that as a reason for you feeling hurt rather than take accountability for what they did.
