These are part of my new "abstract life" collection.

So far the pieces in this collection have had more social engagement than anything I have created to date.

No sales yet, but I am very hopeful.

Each piece in the collection is a 3/3.

I am just curious...

if 2/3 of people tilt their heads to the right when they kiss...

doesn't that mean 2/3 of people kiss the other 1/3 of people?

Otherwise how are they kissing each other?

AI Boy is an image of a robot with a round head and entanaes coming out of the top. It has big round eyes. The ears, and the whole robot, has a yellowish orage color, the ears have wires attaching the head to the rest of the body. The entire image is overlayed on a greenish colored abstract that looks like digital tree bark.

4 hours left in my tezos aution.

Current bid is 5 XTZ.

I'm poor.

Like REALLY fscking poor.

But I don't sit around on the interest begging random people, friends or strangers, for money.

I create art and beg people to buy that.

Same results, but one makes me feel like I am doing something, the other makes me feel like a beggar.

Imagine in the future how many people going to put "tictok NPC" under work experience.

The only person it will ever have any effect on is the person who opts to get, or not, the vaccine.

No other person is affected by this choice except the individual.

The only thing the vaccine does is prevent the person who receives it, from getting the worst of symptoms (which may include death).

As such, there is literally no reason to harass, belittle, or even discuss if someone did or did not get the vaccine.

The covid vaccine does not stop the spread of Covid.

It does not prevent a person from either catching or passing on covid.

People who are vaccinated can get and spread the virus to others just as fast as the unvaccinated.

I literally love this movie.

Edd would have been all over Marie if she looked like that. Just sayin.

And of course, there is the added anxiety of... we can't afford for him to live with us... but gotta do what I gotta do to keep my kid safe.

/end

I could take a full xanny bar and it have literally 0 effect on my anxiety right now.

Usually when it gets this bad... I land in a hospital with IV drugs to get me out of the attack. Not sure i have time for that until after he gets here though.

Anyways... about an hour later... we decide... this is not a safe environment, so he is coming out on thursday.

None the less... my anxiety... is exploding. I want to go to NY and find some mfers and whoop some asses. Even a day later my anxiety is out of this world uncontrollable.
