Was it Osscilococcinum? (Or however the fuck you spell it) That shit was delicious.

Normal Tuesday night…

Enjoying the moment during our sold-out show at Madison Square Garden (7/12/25)

The Idle Handmade “Pleats & Thank You” Mini Backpacks are so close to done!

An impressively unfunny man.

Rudy nailed it. 😃

Another beautiful Burbank morning.

I somehow feel this comment works well as an analogy for America right now…

History won’t praise Democrats for playing by the rules if it’s the reason we lose our country.

Does anyone else, NeurD (neurodivergent) or Normie, sometimes feel like that person who's not fully in the friend group and has therefore overstayed their welcome at the party except the party is the world?

It's hard to unlearn long-term unhealthy lessons. As I'm learning now, it's an ever-ongoing fight! I hope yours keeps going strong!

I think one of the most interesting things I've learned re: narc-abuse is how it normalizes toxic behavior. I feel like this explains why so many of my friends (female especially) have proven so damn dangerous in the end.

I've been afraid to openly stand up to narcissistic abuse for fear of being labeled "manic."

I've found a sanity counter-argument: "Okay. Let's say I'm manic. What are my presenting symptoms?"

Because "I don't personally appreciate what you're saying" isn't diagnostic criteria.

“Dobby only wants Harry Potter to get F***ed”

I really enjoyed making this one. It’s got a lot of what makes the painting a “Patric Painting” as my wife is known to say. There are sometimes when I really enjoy a painting for the absurdity. Sometimes I feel like I nail a painting and this is one of those times (though that usually means I haven’t nailed it). I have to be aware of feeling like a painting is successful, it’s a recipe for disappointment. For Color theory nerds: I’m aware that I wrote “ROYGBP” (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple) and some people would say id should be “ROYGBV” or “ROYGBIV” but I like the word “purple”. I also use this as a basic 6 color artistic color wheel for painting purposes and, so tend to leave out indigo (just for my shorthand) I also love Boards of Canada, so maybe I should have done it “ROYGBIV” :D Thank you for listening to my tangent

Me: “I’m finally gonna sew a run of clothing! 7 sizes of pattern/color-block rompers, here I come!”
Anathema: “Sure. Good luck with that.”

Oof. Yup. This checks out.

I was going to singlehandedly save the world. And then everyone was fairies. And then I was Queen Elizabeth the First.

This is interesting. I worry that, as you touch upon, this lens could lead some, especially those who think addiction is a choice, to believe the same of depression. Stigma & all that jazz

I see my 2 year+ depression as a neuroplasticity sitch. Water'll take the path best carved. So too goes pain

I dunno... I feel like hypomanic/mania just made me write more which my overconfidence made me count as better...

For hilarious and epically long nonsensical emails, try psychosis!

Agreed.

Especially considering what my #bipolar does to my ability to keep a job...

"These findings highlight the need to tailor sex-specific treatment for each patient."

I'd argue it's most important to tailor treatment to the actual individual. Isn't it straight lazy to stop at "sex-specific"? So many Drs now seem to treat based on brains kinda like mine. Not my actual brain.
