a page from a hotel notepad with lyrics written on it, struck through, and the not at all pretentious and embarrassing annotation "Derrida" to the left of a verse with several struck-through lines

of interest: found, in my photos on my laptop, a pic from the hotel notepad on which I started work on "no children." I mention in the "This Year" book that this began on a boarding pass envelope. once I landed and got into my room I did this. "Derrida" I think refers to thoughts about erasure etc

The pains of being thicc

If you are in Seattle, please go patronize this store because this is amazing content/promo 😂 (laughing to keep from crying, and I do kind of low-key want that orange spider plant I have never seen that before)

Absolutely gorgeous! Also loving the irony of posting a piece celebrating the sun on the winter solstice.

Two paintings of very stylish anthro dog critters, both of whom are facing right and looking left, framed and hung together on a wall. Both paintings have a really nice sense of horizontal play which contrasts nicely with their portrait aspect ratio. They're titled "Long Stride" and "Strange Dimension"

Same paintings from another (extreme) angle (to avoid glare)

Finally finished framing these new guys, always good to add to my collection of pieces from @marandart.bsky.social!

I keep hearing this, but then why is it every time I bring Albert somewhere people scream and run away? Just trying to have a nice night out with my man :(

Gonna be even more earnest than usual on main, but I wanted to share. Because I have a bunch of pain stuff I was in my thoughts about it, and I said to myself, “I have to show love to my body. My body is doing the best it can.” so if anybody needs this, it made me feel good to say that

this has become a very important video to me

It appears that YouTube's official policy is "it's not about being a victim, it's about sucking my fucking dicktim"

The outlines of the painting are shining and sparkling brightly in the dim light

Of course, excited to have the opportunity again someday!
I discovered last night that when my nightstand lamp is on and the other lights are off (common in this part of the year) the raised glitter outlines catch all the light and the whole thing pops like crazy!

BITE‼️

Credit where it's due: other cherished paintings here are by @pascaldexion.bsky.social, @mars_in_furs on Twitter, and @agenderbanana on Instagram

Detail photo of a smol painting of a sparkly goldendoodle headshot with blue eyes in profile on a green background. There's a blue outline around him and the line work is accentuated by raised glitter paint. It looks so dang good I may scream

Same painting now hung on the wall, showing that the painting continues around the edge of the canvas

Photo of four paintings of the same goldendoodle, all of various sizes, styles, and media

So excited to have gotten the chance to commission @marandart.bsky.social for this absolutely gorgeous little painting of my fursona! It's always satisfying to add to my collection of physical commissions, especially from someone whose style I adore so much! ❤️

Indonesia is one of my favorite Mountain Goats songs to play (along with Masher and Earth Air Water Trees) and it's definitely not the easiest chord progression to remember unless you've internalized it well. It's clear how much work and caring craft went into writing it!

Then that same conversation plays out in the other direction before fizzling out.

Or when a variation of that doomed conversation happens even just talking about bands that you like when meeting someone at a party or such. 🙃

That and this sort of conversation always happens:
Them: "You make music? What genre?"
Me: "I'm a little all over the place, but I'm really influenced by [band], [band], and [band]"
Them: "Huh, I've heard of [band 3], never listened to them though."
Me: "Yeah they're really good!"
...
...

Oof yeah, music has a similar but far worse problem just because it requires devotion of linear time, it's just not as flexibly consumed as digital art.

At the beginning of every episode of Jeopardy! I keep expecting Johnny Gilbert to announce the host as "Kenneth Jenneth" and I don't know where this brainrot came from.

Today's find: FX containers, i.e. nested FX chains so one can automate an entire FX chain as a group with just one lane. Obvious, but still...🤯

I love having used REAPER for nearly a decade and still accidentally stumbling across life-changing features that I had no idea existed until I really needed them. Truly the superior DAW (for my workflow)

Seriously! And that Cardassian bisexual carpeting is wonderfully groovy.
For some reason both times I've tried to watch it I've ended up stopping partway through season 4, which is where everyone says it starts getting really good. Hopefully someday I'll finish it.

Double stereo double tracked some acoustic guitar yesterday and it's sounding positively jangly in here. ❤️
AND having spent a couple extra minutes thinking carefully about mic placement means that everything is phase compliant to mono without even trying too hard. 😎

No beer holder for the service bear? Damn convertibles!

tfw you literally taught modular synthesis at university for a bit and yet can't seem to conjure the specific sound that you are seeking
