I’ve been taking the cats to do unpleasant things lately (vet and get neutered) and now they run from me but still run up to my man.

This isn’t fair lol

Watching Novocaine right now. Even tho he can’t feel pain I can and this shit is painful to watch 😭

The age old debate: do I draw or do I nap?

I work with my best friend which means lately most convos are about the Diddy trial.

The other day we were talking and someone thought we were talking about our CO-WORKERS until I said Diddy’s name 😂

Now I’m like “who are YOU working with?” 👀

I genuinely thought trying digital art would be easier for me now that I’ve gotten better at physical art like drawing and painting.

Oh boy, was I wrong. This is so awful. I’m definitely going to have to practice before I get better 😂

Great news! Bone conduction headphones pass the “chip test”.

AKA I can hear my audio over the sound of me eating chips and dip

Making art is basically just micro dosing failure over and over til you get it “right”

My man and I were talking about anal today when he referred to my ass as “a chocolate factory, where shit gets done”.

I just thought the internet needed to hear that too 💀

For real!!! What’s crazy to me about it is how I didn’t even realize what it was doing til I got off.

Then I was able to notice all the other ways I was getting cheap dopamine, and honestly, it’s no wonder I was so depressed and unmotivated back then.

Real. I was just saying earlier today that I may go back to ig in a few months to help keep up with IRLs, but idk if I’ll go back to threads even then.

I got really addicted to the constant dopamine and these days I’m much more grounded.

Left (when I’m emotionally stable) VS. Right (when I’m feeling raw)

My art based on emotions

This is a piece I’ve been working on about the same emotion.

The difference is: the left is how I *remember* the emotional experience and the right is representative of how I *experience* the emotion.

your reality; or if that is where you find the freedom to let go of all of your overwhelming emotions; I hope you find peace beyond that moment.

These big emotions are hard, and I promise you the people in your life have room for it. (2/2)

One of the most powerful messages I ever heard while I was in the depths of my despair was “people don’t understand that sometimes ‘doing the work’ means you’re laying in the fetal position crying alone in your bathroom”.

That’s so true, I hope for the best for yall, but if that is (1/2)

Painting naked while day drinking wasn’t on my bingo card for this Monday, but here we are.

The expression “I slept like a baby” should be “I slept like a man.”

Two Mourning Doves, beige soft-looking birds with long tails and pink feet, sit on top of a shepherd's hook bird feeder that is decorated with a metal bird. The doves are sitting so close to each other they are touching, which is super cute and why I took a feeder picture in some random neighbor's yard.

The bird photos will continue until morale improves

Every time I let my dog outside he sprints out and barks 2-3 times as if to say “HEY GUYS, IM OUTSIDE AGAIN!” then he silently finds a spot to do his business 😂

what I already believe about our paths intertwining at just the right time.

Maybe I’m crazy, but I’d rather be happy than be normal 2/2

I can find deeper meaning in just about anything if I let myself.

Ex: I have had a one line a day journal for over 8 years that I’ve never written in.

Today I started it and noticed the page that was bookmarked is my man’s bday.

I can’t explain it, but it feels like a nod confirming 1/2

make america healthy again is all about eating more fast food and making lists of queer and autistic people but does not include cheaper or free healthcare which is interesting

I’m sitting on the couch I have in my kitchen reading while I watch my man cook me some dinner.

Is this what dreams are made of?

I see it all the time. People can't fathom that someone at 80 or 90 years old could die of old age and the thought of death is so terrifying to them that they have to have some crazy excuse for it instead of accepting that everyone dies someday.

enough to read any further.

In hindsight, it’s kinda funny.

The thing I thought was so ridiculous & weird then is common & widely accepted now.

What’s more interesting is that we’ve accepted this intrusion of privacy in exchange for convenience. 2/2

Back in the 8th grade (2006ish) after reading Animal Farm I tried reading 1984.

I stopped after a couple pages cause the idea that household electronics could be used for surveillance and couldn’t be turned off was so preposterous to me I just couldn’t suspend my disbelief long 1/2

Love that my man is so supportive I can casually mention wanting to try astral projection and he just acts like that’s normal.

The Wealthy In This Country Would Poison Us For The Sake Of Profit!!!

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.
