this has always been part of the intended use of it, it's just another version of the unseen manager or head office or whatever higher power they pretend to be unable to challenge, they'd love to help you themselves but it's out of their hands

Weekly post about how bed is great. Especially when it's cold outside and the world seems bleak.

the truly cold front has arrived, so a drop from 80 to 37 degrees. time to pull out the electric blanket. wish getting old means i can stay warm in cold weather, but no, i'm just hot in hot weather.

in the end, I'll need to delay my no-buy because I bought non-essentials at Teso and Daiso for a November event (all completely unnecessary lol). but i got a lot of household tasks done, finished another sewing piece, so it's all good. ๐Ÿ˜…

i think i'm gonna chop off my hair soon. maybe i'll cut it myself. way too long and causing me to look bald, although having short hair doesn't fix that problem... not at my advanced age!

ADHD is knowing exactly what you need to do then watching yourself not do it like you're a scientist observing a very dumb experiment

A post on Mastodon by small cypress (@small_cypress@indieweb.social):

As an art teacher I was worried AI would come up as an issue of "why should I learn how to draw when I can use AI instead."

But the real issue is that my middle schoolers CONSTANTLY believe all art I show them is AI. Digital art. Photography. Oil paintings from the Western canon. "A human couldn't do that"

Being convinced that humans can't make great art is kind of terrifying

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

easier day at work today and less back pain. i ended up cooking dinner super late (miso salmon and rice, plus pico de gallo for chips), but feeling like there may be a light at the end of the tunnel, at least for today. tomorrow, not so sure

i've been having a lot of back pain recently from doing nothing more strenuous than the same low level of physical activity i've been doing for years. not sure if i'm getting old or i'm getting weak or i need a new bed. but i can't bend anymore without groaning like a senior citizen. it's really bad

Just letting everyone know that I took down my commissions/request post now that it's November. No one asked me for anything (expected), but this is a reminder if you ask me now to start a new piece for you, I may not finish before Xmas, it will have be done next year.

last day of my staycation and once again, did not accomplish as much as I had hoped before busy season begins at work and irl. at least i got 3 out of 5 appointments done, and umm... finished almost all of my monthly projects. but i needed to clean my yard/house and finish more artwork/costumes

went to an art market today (did not buy anything for anyone else lol) and then drove my mom around the metroplex to look at yarn since joann's closed. we were mildly successful, and that's a win in this economy.

Second panel: A teardrop is shedding.

A softly frustrated atmosphere.

Happy Halloween! I wore a Dracula inspired coord from stuff I already owned like I was Wisdom K or something. I did get a lot more kids trick or treating this year because of everything awful going on in this country, glad I bought 3 bags of candy.

Even though I have Halloween off this year, haven't felt like celebrating or doing anything fun. Not in this hell world. Think I'll just rot in bed today too.
