Really fucking tired of feeling too late to live.

ChatGPT: you’re right you’re so much smarter than him. He’s so schlubby and you’re so suave. Columbo will never catch you.

My kingdom for a bag of grapes.

A series of 4 small pieces inspired by current events. Creating does wonders for my mental health, but this isn't the time for fake positivity. Instead, this is something of an invocation. (I'll need to take better pics when the light is right) JUSTICE عدل Hormuz red earth on paper, 28x28cm. 1/4

But why is the coffee gone?!

If you feel trapped in worry by dark clouds on the horizon, give yourself a break. Your focus is limited and you need to use it with intention. There are lots of ways to participate in your own inner life. You won't see what is blooming there unless you make the time to zoom-in and notice.

Your mind is like a meadow. You can stand back and consider it as a whole. You can focus on the buzz of activity around a single bloom. You can follow a bumblebee from flower to flower.

The car is dead. Long live the car!

I can't rush this. The moment she realizes what I'm doing, it's over and I'll be worse off for it. Easy now. Hold the bag without sound. Pull them one by one from underneath and slide them in. Finally, the coils emerge. Her favorite toy. My missing part. Ah, this damn cat! #SenseWrds Prompt 209

If I have to see this. So do you. 🤭

critically important toggle; they'll slap this one on stuff that just has, like, queer slogans or pride iconography, because this website's moderation is shit from an ass

Such a calming sight. I could get lost in the textures.

Hey, y'all remember the whole #FollowFriday thing over in the bird place? I've got a list full of fantastic small business owners and makers for you all to follow, and throw a coin to if you have one available! You can find it here: buff.ly/8pqEbG1 Have a great weekend!

Mint chocolate chip ice cream is superior but only when it's green. Keep that white false-heir shit out of sight.

Listening to the local convocation of birds discuss bird matters is always interesting, because there's always that one bird that goes against convention and then it's a whole ass shouting match by those in attendance to tell them just how fucking wrong they are. Those birds have /opinions/.

Friends in the tabletop games industry, I have a favor to ask: I've been talking about the Paragons Starter Kit Kickstarter, but my reach is limited. Could you help me get the word outside of my sphere of influence? Especially if you've played Paragons and enjoyed it, a boost would go a long way 😊

And… you’ve lived to greet another day. What will you do?

Happy Thatcher Death Day to all who celebrate. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG3x...

THREAD. Substack is evil. I can't emphasise this enough. Their line that anyone can leave easily & take their subscriber list with them is bullshit. I left & it cost me a large sum of money. It forced me briefly back onto Substack to try to clear up the mess... tomcox.substack.com/p/an-explana...

I didn't think it would be worth spinning up an instance just for me since I don't have any network or connections to speak of. But it looks like if I want to keep visibility of what I do have, it's time.

Hmm. Okay.

Please help this lawyer. The DHS working with LAPD, shot and blinded an 18 year old named Tucker Collins on 3/28 in LA. His right eye has been surgically removed. We are asking anyone who has a video or has information to come forward by calling our office (310-693-5561) Jim DeSimone

I came out to the pass to remind myself that the world still turns, that time progresses, that winter yields to spring eventually regardless. Though the high view is stunning, these white flowers remind me why I left you behind. By walking away, I ceased being your Echo. #SenseWrds Prompt 206

Watch if you want some truth, if you want to laugh, and/or if you want to find out what happens when you don't pay attention.

Well, this was disturbing. Not surprising, though; great artists of any sort often were/are bastards to those around them.

Making small-talk was easy. I floated from person to person, sometimes introducing a few, sometimes splitting groups up. A baited question to guide the chatter to something sociable and pleasant. And yet, for all that were around me, I have never been lonelier. #SenseWrds Prompt 205

Just scrolled past a post that said, "Please stop anthropomorphizing other people!" and I'm starting to think that dictionaries should be distributed free the way phone books used to be. Words have meaning, y'all. That's kind of how language works.

I will begrudgingly admit that the new keyboard was needed not only for the sake of the credit score, but for the emotional benefit as well. I guess I should permit myself to live a little, huh.

Oh and do check out Droneeater and the Nelson Techno Collective. They're awesome. nelsontechnocollective.bandcamp.com

The joy of finding out something you did that looked like dog shit to you is a fun read for someone else. vs The misery of sitting in the car unable to cry because it's time to go back to work and you're hoping a tree falls on you instead.

So many years ago, a client asked me if we were in an alternate universe, would they have a chance with me. Our mutual crush was hidden from everyone except each other. In an alternate universe, they would. They passed earlier this year and now their house is up for sale. 🥀😔

TTRPG would fix me. And more dice. And a few dice trays. But, definitely more dice.

Pizza would fix me.

Sometimes, as a creative exercise, I try to write silly analogies: The plane touched down like a fawn’s first steps. She made love like kicking over a woodpile. They danced like two crows caught in a shopping bag. The moon peeked through cloud-fingers like she was afraid of what she might see.

Just to make things clear: I do not care (and you too shouldn't) if it annoys someone when I repost my drawings 7384 times. And yes, I will do that again. I spend time on my artworks, I put my passion in them, and I'm proud of my work. I simply want people to see it.

Dreamt an angel of creation sat down with me and asked why did I stop writing. I pointed out my current difficulties that was eating up my free time and then noted that anything I write would not be read by people, but stolen and abused by AI. "What does their reading have to do with you writing?"

I have lost track of how long I have been walking. Though the night is clear, the canopy hides the bright light, leaving me disoriented. Though I have no knife to brandish, I trust my senses and my wits to keep me from stumbling into danger. #SenseWrds Prompt 204
