John ‘Taz’ Herrman -They/Them

Never thought I’d be cheering on the big pharma lobby, but here we are.

Geilli Plate valentines

WikiTok is a fun time sink of randomness wikitok.vercel.app

Messing around with needle pens and tracing crappy paint pours

When your elderly cat looks dead and you watch to make sure he’s breathing

Just a cat picture

I work at a company with many state and federal contracts, wonder how much longer Inclusive is listed as a company value?

What we are witnessing in the US is same cruel behavior seen from men in the boardroom, bedroom, locker room and around the campfire. The societal message to men has always been “if you can get away with it, do it.” Social media has taught men that the consequences implied were a bluff.

Someone’s learned where the magic hot air comes from

I see many more of these gaffrey media works in my future.

Came across @justingaffrey.bsky.social paints and texture kits last year and started playing with them. Fun stuff and beats fighting modeling paste. Now if people would stop trying to eat the paints! #notFrosting

Those saying FAFO will teach people to vote better are boldly assuming those FA are capable of FO. 43% of those surveyed still support Trumps tariffs. They don’t do the grocery shopping or budget. They know more about football than finance.

😬 how does someone navigate current situation with empathy and hope but not cross over into blind tone-deaf optimism?

This maybe a paint over. Time will tell.

2 weeks, only been 2 WEEKS! 206 weeks to go.

Silly little humpty dumpty owl.

The dumpster fire that is America has burned the desire to be well informed out of me.

A chimp smoking a cigarette says, "To everyone I offended this year, work on yourself so I don't have to do it again next year."

There are some 77 million people lacking serious self-reflection and their wakeup call is going to be a long and difficult four years. Buckle up.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

I’m not a lawyer and I don’t give out legal advice, but I’d rather throw my legs up over my head and scrape the backs of my thighs with a cheese grater than accept a deferred resignation offer from these unfuckable douchelords.

A reminder for myself. They can remove many things from me, but I won’t let them take my Joy!

The amount of willful ignorance on Trumps actions and Muskrats Nazism is depressing. The most accessible press and news is toeing their line out of fear.
So hard to find any light right now.

2 months on Wellbutrin and I can’t image going off med. It has turned down the static in my brain and dulled alot of the sharp jagged edges of my thoughts. I was worried it would silence the more quirky parts of me, but doesn’t seem to be the case. My creativity has more room to breath now.

My owl is tipsy and going to fall out of the tree at this rate 🤣

My Oura ring needs a ‘this is the new normal’ reset button. My resting HR is never going to be 45bpm again, and my shoulder say 6 hours of sleep is as good as it gets.

Haven’t been feeling well last few days :-/ So not much arting. So here is a mask pour from last year.

the Meta logo except it says "Maga" and the infinity brandmark is red

oh shit new logo just dropped

TMI butt after 3 colonoscopes in 18 months they razed the section that kept making polyps and I get a whole year between these things! Also I was told I will poop staples at some point. 💩 Looking forward to that.

Getting older is such a grand and dignified adventure.

Some advice on How to Weather the Storm, including “create something lovely for yourself or others”, “moderate your exposure to the bullshit”, “find the people who are already doing the work, and follow their lead”, and “join something”. [kottke.org]
