I feel like you gotta be your own hype man when you're an artist. Wouldn't call it being full of yourself if you know you put in the work.

Like, I don't know what the goal of some stuff is other than to make people feel bad for you and it's like ... Ok 👌🏼

Once someone commented on a cute photo a friend posted of me that I looked like their abuser and it gave them a panic attack and I was like
Uh

It's my face?

Felt great though, was also respectful of the source material and not just gentrified pseudo spiritual stuff. will definitely do it again. I'm tired of twisting my ankles and bumping into walls with my ADHD ass.

Thank you!! I've seen it 3 times, once on my own, twice to hold my friend's hands through it for their first time. It's a gorgeous movie and does such a good job presenting how vulnerable folks can go from one abusive situation to another but just like hereditary (harder watch imo), once is enough 😂

The first little story arc/intro/IDK I'm not a literature major is probably about 40 pages give or take depending on what I add/cut. I expect the first volume itself to be 80 to 100 because I hate myself :)

I am expecting this to be best in print, 6x9, wanting it to look like an old pulp novel with a few little easter eggs inside.
I probably could release on my patreon, but like I said, I'm kinda enjoying just taking my time and getting it done when I get it done.

And yes I've asked people to stop cross chatter during meetings because I couldn't hear something relevant to our work MID MEETING (not before meeting casual bant, that's when you turn down your speakers)
It's really not hard, and it's not hard to be polite about it.

Also if you've ever done this, not because someone didn't realize they WEREN'T muted but you were cutting them off mid sentence, you're an asshole. It's the online equivalent of telling someone to shut up who's having a conversation you're not even a part of without having to show your face.

Mind you, I know I used to be a chatterbox. I barely speak up now and have been told I don't interact enough and need to be more social. So no, I'm not annoying. Also nearly everyone I work with is 20+ years older than me. They can grow up.

Also, they couldn't steal my car anyways cuz It's new and has the anti theft lock, but no one cares about checking the date on a Kia when they're trying to steal it so. Still a grand every time I had to take it into the shop, even with insurance 😭

Yes I know if I looked different I wouldn't have been given such benefit of the doubt, and even then I'm always prepared for someone with an ego looking for someone to mess with.
Just glad it ended smoothly and I will never not find it funny that this dumb fix worked.

I like watching Olympic gymnasts bungle a move and then just lay flat either on their back or stomach, staring into the abyss or laughing uncontrollably
