wow

I decided to be brave and use some of my best stickers on my laptop instead of hoarding them forever

reading Wuthering Heights... didn't realize the Kate Bush "Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy" part happens like right at the beginning. kind of assumed it was near to the climax

I want to beef up my gallery of prints so I think I'm gonna try more traditional art again.... digital is really good for consistency and workflow (comics etc) but if they're one-offs I can be a little more experimental with it

my aunt said she traveled on a first class flight in Europe in the 80s and after dinner (with an aperitif AND wine afterwards) they gave her a little custom mini-pack of exactly 3 cigarettes

Backrooms: 3.5/5 some thoughts and spoilers below

some guy on the street yelled in my face right before I went to see Backrooms and then I was 4 minutes late (which I thought was fine because of trailers) but then I entered the theater and the movie had already started. review to come later.

10% nonbinary

🦚🐅 I finished this tiger and peacock risograph print!

deleted all my ways to mindlessly scroll on my phone but I'm still trying to find a way to fill that void.... replacing it with puzzle apps/reading articles/etc doesn't work because the appeal is the lack of brain power used

I thought I got a cute video of the cats grooming each other but it turns out they were sixty-nineing each other's buttholes..... it's like they don't even know they're adoptive brothers.... smh

it's funny because Japanese BLs in British settings are still Japanese-flavored like "ah... the tender touch of my fellow boys... a delicate and pure love...." but all British-written yaois are just Lord of the Flies

here's my old man rant about modern music: too much modern music talks about mental health literally. you aren't supposed to sing "my anxiety is crippling me and the therapy isn't working". you're supposed to sing some shit like "every shadow hides a demon of my design" or whatever.

bay leaves harvested from the california wilds (bottom) vs. bay leaves from the store (right)

5 minutes into Half Man.... oh so this is a YAOI yaoi

his undulating

having a friend who is 25-50% a hater is the absolute best. but if someone is like 75% a hater its the most depressing thing in the world (still not as bad as a friend who is less than 5% a hater)

I googled mountain lion because I wanted to look at mountain lions but theres a bunch of pics of ugly men posing next to mountain lion corpses that they hunted

the amount of crossdressing you see at an anime convention is genuinely heartwarming. any age, any body type, any level of professionalism

the moral of the Substance seems to be less "don't chase youth" and more "don't create an evil homunculus". and it's like ok, I won't do that.

watching The Substance and [cinema sins noise] why did they show it snow in Los Angeles? impossible even before climate change

they were playing Still Alive from Portal over the speakers at the organic grocery store

this book was pretty normal and then halfway through it drops like three different insanely misogynistic statements within a few pages. you CANNOT be talking like that, Agatha Christie

went to the zoo yesterday and the grizzly fell asleep right up against the glass...... kawaii.....

ok I'm gonna subscribe to dracula daily (late) because I actually do want to finish reading it.... I started a while ago but got distracted by other matters

the thing I learned about heavy spot blocks and hatching is that you always gotta put on more than you think. add a little more. then a little more than that. almost there, but just add a little more

I keep having vivid dreams where I do cocaine and it's really good even though I've never actually done cocaine. was I addicted in a previous life or is this a premonition of things yet to come?

I was making notes during this that are ultimately not worth reading, except for this one

taking a edible and watching a kids movie and you start thinking in B-tier youtube video essay titles like "The Implications of Noblesse Oblige & Prosperity Theology in Encanto"

mealprepped Giant Pot of Tomato Bisque which I will now freeze..... it's like ten servings (plus the three we ate last night)

today I saw.... mommy and baby harbor seals 🦭🦭🦭

my new TTRPG character.... we're playing a JRPG-inspired setting so I gave her a fuckass big hammer and thickass spike armor, as is tradition

I started having one of those stereotypical "you have to go back to school because you forgot to take one class and you didn't actually graduate" but it was MIDDLE SCHOOL and even my dream self was like "wait... I'm an adult this doesn't make any sense"

there was a giant bottle of tequila that only had a single shot left in my fridge and I wanted to use it up but I have absolutely no mixers so I made a hideous concoction with Arizona iced lemon tea

I don't want to shoot videos I don't want to post tutorials I don't want to show my process I don't want to pour varnish I don't want to turn my canvas I don't want to record my screen I don't want to cultivate parasocial relationships I just want to make pictures and shitpost

I bought this long stapler for $30 because I wanted to staple my zines instead of sewing them but it fucking sucks! almost every single staple comes out warped! the only straight ones came from my tiny plastic pocket stapler!

been reading some horror manga recently, both of these are ongoing but I enjoyed them a lot so far: Tonari no Jii-san and "N"

I love manga but have more of a neutral attitude towards anime which puts me at a disadvantage at anime cons where the majority have the opposite view

went to office max for printer ink and paper and everything was marked up like $8-10 from the average online price 💀💀💀 like bro..... I made the effort to go to a brick and mortar and you treat me like this?

I'm gonna sell some of my prints in a local shop ☺️ yayyyy

trying to print a double-sided single fold zine on a single-side printer is perhaps one of the infuriating things you can attempt to do

a common talking point online is that women receive so many compliments but men only get a few in their entire lifetime but I think that's like... only if you're a conventionally attractive woman aged teen to 20s. if you're old or fat or dark or butch or ugly that's not happening

sometimes I don't like the way oversized tops hang/bunch up at the hips so I've been adding tunic slits to the sides of a lot of them

giving a film 3.5 stars feels like cheating (half stars shows weak will) but there's such a vast divide between a 3 star movie and a 4 star movie

tote bag collection update. it's all on theme.

just saw Project Hail Mary. decent popcorn movie. would've been vastly improved by toning down the humor 50-70% percent

ok not to reference current discourse but the implication that most people throw away their keychains and toys after a while is crazy.... what are you guys doing? I have never thrown away a functional item in my entire life. not an exaggeration. no one in my family has.

a lot of modern comedies (Righteous Gemstones, Hacks, etc) try to end every episode with the "but we all love each other ❤️" wholesome moral lesson when really they should lean into the Always Sunny/30 Rock/etc. zone of "we are all bastards who hate each other ❤️"

got this 1970s edition of an Agatha Christie book from a little free library and there's just straight up an ad for cigarettes printed inside

people are putting the faces on their tomodachi miis TOO HIGH!!! they are chibis which means BIG FOREHEAD!!! number one reason why they look slightly off, please remember this!!!
