Appreciated all the love we got this weekend, GatewayFate was a great time! @stephanerys.bsky.social

Come out to support our boy!

Looking forward to next week when I can vomit feelings on canvas again

“Don’t trust the voices after 9pm” is prob one of the better bits of advice I’ve heard

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" —Mary Oliver

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee. You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

One of those weeks where just eating a trough of Mac n' cheese seems like a good idea

I like to look for cool things to do and ask if they want to do them. I like it better when we're equally involved since it's our trip, not "my trip that we're both going on"

Super excited about a top secret art project I'm working on 👀 Share soon?

Feels good to get back to work. DragonCon crafting was fun but I've missed painting so much 🎨

I miss everyone and the chaos of DragonCon so much, it's like going home from summer camp 😭

Back to real life time. Personal art projects dear to my heart are on the docket next

Well, as of this weekend the development team of my favorite game of all time (Expedition 33) has seen me wearing next to no clothes

So I've got that going for me

(Bare naked muscles will save the world!)

Every time I listen to Alice DuPort-Percier sing "Alicia" I get almost goosebumps and it makes me feel so many things.

I just have a lot of feelings about Expedition 33 I want to shout from the rooftops, about the music especially.

I'm glad I live in the time when I get to experience this art.

Prepare for a ride when you get to EoE

Aquarium you say? 👀

The poem Wild Geese by Mary Oliver

One of my favorites

Despite the constant Horrors, the fact that we live in a time where I can dream a up a physical object and later make it manifest is truly astounding

Local ridiculous person lives ridiculous life

Running has become a great way to clear my head

The Substance came out recently and is pretty great

I feel attacked

It only took a whole treatise on grief, love, longing, mortality, and despair to finally find the bridge I've been looking for my entire life

I'm upset now because Expedition 33 has ruined games for me.

I finally finished Expedition 33 and it is truly the best game I've ever played 11/10

Let us know when one doesn't explode, it seems like that's all they do

To spend the large amount of money and time doing a thing or not...hmm...

I think the one on the right is more aesthetically pleasing for that particular individual since it seems to lengthen his torso and make the suit seem more tailored to him. Does the pocket square have anything to do with it?

Finally investing in my artwork. Workshops, landscape technique courses, etc are on the horizon.
Also mentorship classes, which is very exciting.

Even started a portrait the last few days that I'm liking ☀️

Treated myself to the expensive set of (high quality) brushes I'd wanted for some time. Very excited to see how they perform when they arrive
