I’m more than a little worried that we will return to insurance companies being able to deny on the basis of pre-existing conditions too.

I received some support, yes. Ultimately, my illness proved to be a little too much. If earning a degree could be done from home it might have been manageable, as I did during the stay-at-home period of the covid pandemic. But, that simply is not possible any longer.

I actually did drop out, just a couple of weeks ago, largely because of the in-person-only policy that is not at all compatible with my particular flavor of autoimmune disease (UC) and treatment (MTX) .

A digital sketch of a lone person walking across a snowy flat landscape towards a snow covered mountain. There are footprints in the snow that stop where the person, who is in grey snow clothes, is standing.

A digital painting of a bubble that has frozen to an evergreen tree branch. The background is out of focus but shows golden light to the left, blue light to the lower right, and a small pink light to the upper right.

They aren’t perfect, but I really enjoyed doing them. I’m nearly done doing a sketch a day for 365 days. 361/365 and 362/365. #illustrations #sketchbook #Procreate

I’ve come to think of winter as rainbow season.

The Humanities Have Sown the Seeds of Their Own Destruction If the humanities have become more political over the past decade, it is the result of pressure to prove that they are β€œuseful.”

I suppose there is some truth that artists draw art that looks like them. #artvsartist

neuraesthenia (2017)

An embroidery on a pale natural linen, there is the pale outline of a woman’s lower legs and feet, heels together, toes apart. From the soles of the feet, thick red/orange lines coil beneath. From the big toes moving upwards, thick blue and off-white lines rise up through the inner calves and branch off at the knees. These lines coil and intertwine in a brain-like shape, and then move back down in wavy lines like a wide skirt around the ankles.
