The first thing I did last year was run | Henry From Online On the eve of the new year, 2025, I was possessed by the spirit of adventure, and drove to Wyoming in the middle of the night. Hijinks, as is eternally their way, ensued.

here‘s a website that tells a story about an ill-starred and foolhardy road trip :)

Paper collage, some of the recognizable elements of which include sausages, a person's torso and arm, hands holding a rotary cutter, an animal eyeball, coral, neon pink shapes, an octopus, and a pile of meat and cheese.

with a recently diagnosed sinus infection i drive thru central florida suburbs to get my kids from preschool, the minivan speakers blaring “footprints in milk” by the shadow ring, and it just ain’t making any sense

Paper collage dominated by a chunk of grainy grey texture, an illustration of people in various styles of hat in front of a gridded rock wall, part of a person's head and shoulders viewed from the back, and white paper with gray scribbles and photocopied textures reading "let the... of the Lord our God... be upon us..."

Collage of paper cut in various abstract shapes and silhouettes; some identifiable elements include an illustration of actors on a stage, one of whom is wearing antlers, the hull of a wooden ship, a human leg with sandal, and a rectangle of paper that reads "This space intentionally left blank" in the center of the composition.

The lady who does my nails said something I've been thinking about all weekend

She said something along the lines of "Artists have so much power to move people politically. Its why they want to take our power by telling us AI can 'make art,' but AI can't move people."

She is a great artist imo

Abstract collage of various paper elements: scrap of paper with some black and white line drawings demonstrating various window curtain formats, such as "double-hung traverse" and "ruffle tiebacks"; blue paper with various colored pencil scribblings; the word "The"; an offwhite fabric texture; a white, vaguely celestial, fuzzy shape; and a dark reddish earthy texture.

Abstract paper collage: many dark shapes intermingle with each other, their edges often round, their textures looking like undulating rocks and folded skin, with pinkish flesh colored elements peeking through here and there; the top left quarter of the composition is dominated by a pencil drawing of a flying trapeze artist about the grasp the bar.

Abstract collage packed with overlapping cutouts: a large portrait of a blonde person’s face partially covered by bright pink marker writing and doodles; teal and gray torn shapes layered across the top and bottom; a bird in flight over trees in the upper left; a vertical block of bold yellow-and-black text reading “YOUR” along the left edge; and a small framed teal rectangle near the lower left.

Colors are mostly greens, cyans, blacks, beige, some pink and white and brown.

Two images side by side: on the left, a medium-haired cat with wide open eyes lies on a green background; on the right, a black and white close-up of a hand, outstretched, seeming to reach toward the cat.

reach for what you maybe need

Thrift store haul: a book called "Better Homes and Gardens Country Dolls" with two semi-creepy handmade dolls on the cover, another book called "How to Talk to Your Cat! (And get it to do what you want)" with two adorable kittens wearing bells on their collars with flowers in the foreground, and a CD by Faysal Hallak titled "Lebanese Folk Nights Vol 2" with a photo of the artist wearing a blue and purple polo style shirt on the cover.

thrift store finds... can't wait to get listening, collaging, and communicating with felines

A pale, puffy animal cracker, the species of which is unidentifiable; it has four legs, a very thick upright tail, a small head with rounded ear, a dimple in the middle of its body, and four things dangling from the bottom of its midsection.

ascribing the surreality to a penchant for dismissiveness

A botanical line drawing illustration of a corn plant overlaid on a gold rectangle background with riverlike shapes cut out of it.

got a job response today! they're "hiring fast." phone call today, in-person tomorrow, maybe start... friday? 🚩 did some research on the ceo: charges 6 months ago for cocaine, fentanyl, and battery of an officer. 🚩🚩 oh and the job location is literally in their house... 💀

A phone placed face-down on a Cosmopolitan magazine has a goofy, scrunched cartoon face drawn in white marker on its case, positioned so the doodled face lines up with the cover model’s body.

and every time I jostle my phone, Firefox slides down that AI summary. so glad we can disable this ~feature... for now

this is gonna come in real handy because I need to have some difficult conversations w/ some folks about their cms' wysiwyg situation

had a fitful dream where despite all efforts my macos snuck in an automatic update and it had the liquid glass stuff everywhere on my laptop and i couldn't figure out how to downgrade lol

HTML code: a paragraph tag and a bunch of nested spans with inline styles; HTML comments are embedded in the style rules; content of the paragraph reads "THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN H4"

just cleaning up some teeeensy issues in a local college's new CMS 😭

At first I thought I should try to dissuade my four-year-old from getting chocolate ice cream with gummy bears mixed in because that sounds kind of gross but then I remembered she has thoroughly enjoyed a hotdog covered in sprinkles and a cookie dipped in ketchup, so yeah

I wrote a blog post about this year's professional upheaval, and how I feel like a generalist in a job market that seems geared toward deep specialization. No answers yet, but writing feels good!
