Passing down the sacred knowledge by teaching my gen alpha nephew how to burn a cd

The amount of self sabotage I do in my sleep is unreal. I fall asleep on my back but when I'm asleep I roll onto my stomach. I grind my teeth and for some reason a mouth guard made it even worse. I really am my own worst enemy when I'm unconscious

I've been pretty exhausted working to set up our non profit and I've put in some long hours with it. Today I took off to recuperate and my cat has been velcroed to me since I've been home!

As long as you pick a number people like enough you can get away with bullshitting a statistic 69% of the time

A million years ago someone told me "drinking alcohol is just borrowing happiness from tomorrow" and that poetry has done a lot to keep me sober

I woke up so damn tired today. I want to say more or do more but I'm hitting a wall of static

Maybe my biggest critique of the left is that any time some absolute ghoul says something kind of humane they are praised and respected like they came to Jesus but if someone who is generally good says something tacky or uninformed they are sacrificed at the altar of purity

I mean this with absolute sincerity, but if your big critique of the protests are "what will this accomplish" or "okay but what's next?" Maybe literally go to the protest and ask the people there.

I truly believe learning and gaining new skills are more of a holistic body process. You're supposed to try things and not understand them, but as your muscles practice a drawn movement... 1/

"Ask for forgiveness, not permission" work in progress

ACAB includes the sheriff but it does not include the deputy

The craziest part about being a star trek nerd is that the most fictiony part of the science fiction is often that competent adults are in charge and genuinely care about the ethics and morality of what they're doing with technology

Microdose your mental illness by taking meds that make you forget to take your meds

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

So seems like the marketing geared for GenX men is just some light distortion rock with some guy shout singing "yeeeeeaaah!" While either a truck goes by or sports happen did I miss anything

I made prints on sponge cloth! I love combining my weird ass art with something practical people can use

Mom, dad. The oligarchs are fighting again...

I should not have kids because I love giving my cats drugs and screen time

Touching grass isn't enough. Maybe it's picking up the phone and calling a loved one. Maybe it's going grocery shopping with a friend who also struggles to get that done. Maybe it's putting paint on a canvas or playing an instrument. Going for a walk in your boring neighborhood.

Painting my little platypus guys. I haven't had a ton of time to do art while getting ready to get this art space off the ground, but I may run a workshop where you can paint your own platypus statuette

One thing I feel like is kind of lost in social media is the safety and importance of being able to shit talk with a small group of friends/people who understand you. Opening every thought we have to the entire online world doesn't allow for that kind of bonding... 1/

Here's a little guy I made. This has been a hell of a week

I wanted to draw but this is all I had in the tank

Nathan fielder portrait. Was not expecting to have a crush on the weirdest man alive but here we are.

A little guy I drew yesterday

Sometimes I post just to feel something and quite often that something is deep regret
