re politics, abuse
Now thinking about how having that as an ongoing background, doesn’t just drain energy as it would for a normal person. since I’m being intentionally abused in one part of my life, it makes me more susceptible to feel abused in other areas. I normally have this bias, but it isn’t as intense since the usual run of elitism and casual harm doesn’t have that malicious intent
re politics, abuse
okay so;
targeting trans and "illegal immigrants" = equivalent to going after a specific child or family member as example, complete with the "it can happen to you"
escalation of FBI/DOJ overreach/potential military involvement = "and I can hurt you"
use of media/frequency of executive actions = "at any time"
tariffs, harassment of foreign visitors = isolating tactics. "because you're dependent on me"
I know EXACTLY what this is. This is domestic abuse writ large, this is why I'm half triggered all the damn time
Weird little anxiety attack. Took a melatonin, sitting up to try and breathe.
But the good news is, I'm not in "my art sucks" so much as "while I'm drawing I'm making stuff I'm seriously into, it's just other people are doing DIFFERENT things I turn out to be into - and give that they've been doing it for quite some time they have a technical polish which is daunting."
"it's the little differences. you know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese on Thra?"
"they don't call it a quarter pounder with cheese?"
"no man it's another place, another time in an age of wonder, they don't know what the fuck a quarter pound is."
#drawing last night, trying to pull on Johan Egerkrans and Bill Berry (visual artist not drummer) for inspiration.
There’s the food trucks parked in Reseda
There’s a freeway runnin’ through the yard
Now I’m a bad boy cause I won’t eat her cooking
Cause of dairy and it gives me the farts
Yes I’m free, free fallin’!
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
