juju the god of biscuits

Since I'm currently in the process of getting ready to move (eep!), a lot of my art supplies are in boxes so I'm having to improvise w what I left out for the very purpose of continuing to make art & honestly? It's not too bad! & it's fun!

Just filed my taxes & yeah it's just as depressing as last year's but hey at least billionaires don't have to pay taxes right

Now I do think that artists should be able to make a living creating but that requires a fundamental rewiring of what our society deems worthy of support & recognition, which is such a sad concept

The pandemic proved how valuable the arts were

I think a big part of it is that I stopped looking at art as something profitable. I’m doing it for pleasure and self-enrichment

It MAY also have to do with the fact that I’m not a capitalist now too 😂

i need an emotional support perogi

Talent has actually made me quit certain things bc I wasn’t immediately an expert at it & same: I had no idea how to practice instead of just Create Masterpiece & have spent the last five years fixing that

Still a perfectionist but I have gotten better

I officially started using Scrivener again & now that I like KNOW how to use the damn thing, I'm really appreciating it. It's still going to take some time to get used to, seeing as I've been using Proton Drive for a while, but things are looking up for Paradiso

That's actually such a great idea!! Off to recruit my friends!

a little more juju i'm a magical creator of words

My main website it the pinned post on my BlueSky profile, but I'll offer it up here, too: alittlemorejuju.com

BEWARE: it's heavily under reconstruction, so be kind lol

Oooh okay, so one POV char is fed intentionally incorrect information that ultimately results in him attempting to arrest his lover; he feels betrayed & confused & would be successful in apprehending his lover if she doesn't shoot out the tires in his car. Such a raw scene!

Paradiso is a collection of interconnected novellas with each story at least loosely connected to an [REDACTED] at a seemingly innocuous building, leading to a [REDACTED], a reunion of [REDACTED], the beginning of a [REDACTED], & trip to the underbelly of a [REDACTED].

#QueerWritersChat #WriteSky #writers #writing

It's so hard to discuss anything because the main story is one giant mass of interconnected mysteries, with each POV character having portions of it, so I usually try to focus on the themes instead of plot whenever I talk about it

Honestly kind of underwhelmed by #BestInShow ... it wasn't terrible & I laughed (mostly at Fred Willard) but I was expecting a bit more maybe? Granted, I have also *gasp* never seen a lot of Guest's work, including This Is Spinal Tap, so maybe I'm missing some things

Fred Willard was such a treasure - his commentary has had me rolling #BestInShow #FilmSky #amwatching

I feel like I'm supposed to find Meg & Hamilton Swan funny with how much they scream at each other but like ... I kinda feel squicky about it #BestInShow #FilmSky #amwatching

a man talking to a woman with the words got news for ya i 'm down Alt: Kat & Bianca Stratford's dad on an exercise bike and is attempting to use slang and AAVE when talking to one of his daughters, "Got news for ya. I'm down. I've got the 411. And you are not going out and getting jiggy with some boy. I don't care how dope his ride is. My mama didn't raise no fool."

Listening to Kat & Bianca's dad complain about how bodies explode when they fall reminds me of me how I have to filter what I talk about at dinner bc I can't bring up cleaning up poop at the dinner table #BestInShow #FilmSky #amwatching

You know, the fact that Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara were not married in real life baffles me. Their chemistry is just undeniable #BestInShow #FilmSky #amwatching

I love knowing that so much of #BestInShow was improvised #FilmSky #amwatching

I swear, Jennifer Coolidge should be in everything. Also I was not expecting this stacked cast. Why am I JUST now watching this movie? #shameonme #BestInShow #FilmSky #amwatching

Thank you so much! ☺️

Hey, it's Phoebe's dad!!! #BestInShow #FilmSky #amwatching

God, I love Parker Posey more than I probably should. I should watch Party Girl next. #BestInShow #FilmSky #amwatching

You know what? I'm going to watch #BestInShow as a tribute to Catherine O'Hara! It's surprisingly one of the only movies she's been in that I've never seen. #FilmSky #amwatching

Alright, I'm going to stop my perpetual marathon of MST3K/RiffTrax and watch a movie I've never seen before. I don't think I want anything too drama-y, so maybe a comedy or action flick? #FilmSky #whattowatch

I'm definitely trying. I may even take a bath instead of a shower tonight. Hell, I even have a bath bomb readily available!

I've done almost nothing today except sit around & elevate my knee or ice the fuck out of it. After all, I'm working 12 hours tomorrow & most of it will likely be on my feet #nurselife #oldage

In other old person news, my left knee is swollen,stiff, and clicks whenever I squat or do lunges, so it looks like I’ll be taking a few days off from lower body lifting

Booked a POD to be dropped off at my house next month and like what even am I?

Around $2k poorer but! That much closer to being a former Southerner

Jesus, moving is expensive #worthit #movingoutofthesouth #byyeeeeeeee
