It’s lesbian visibility day! They’re right in the room, man, they’re everywhere! *dee deet dee deet dee deet DEE DEEEEEEEE*

based on ABBA’s Swedish origins we can conclude that the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen, is in fact an incarnation of Iduna, goddess of eternal youth, whose kidnapping did great mischief amongst the Aesir

proposed sequels to Dwarf Fortress are Elf Forest and of course Halfling Diners, Drive Thrus and Dives

and now the acapella version of the Get Smart theme;

duh duh DUH (doo doo doo doot doot) duh! SLAM!
duh duh DUH (doo doo doo doot doot) duh. THUMP!
duh duh DUH, duh duh DUH, duh duh DUH, duh duh dah, duh dah dah, dah dah dadalee dadalee dadalee dah! BANG!
(doodley-eedley doodley-eedley eedley-dah)

something I've never been able to figure out is whether MLP is an actual descriptor so there are My Big Coldbloods out there in the ponyverse or whether these are honorifics so 18 hh MLPs are still MLPs.

well, at least being suddenly awake at this hour isn't about depression, I think, with my right leg shaking at top speed.

#drawing this evening, listening to Garmarna.

#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’!

this again

She’s a good girl, loves burritos
Loves tacos, enchiladas too
She’s a good girl, crazy about sopas
And on Sundays she gets menu
Do I’m free!
Free fallin’!

so I want to avoid making my pessimism a self-fulfilling prophecy.

This is very easy while feeling trapped, stuck and treading water; coming from a background of catastrophising; influenced by how all it takes is some malicious intent to make everything harmful feel actively malicious (remember, some of the governments' actions are intentionally malicious); and sabotaged by ADHD/CPTSD inability to think of a future.

In other words I'm living through the sort of very frequent low level negatives which are what kept me in a cycle of self-hate and despair for decades, so even though I know my perception slants a lot more negative than actual (and potentially negative!) reality, this is VERY seductive for me - very hard not to buy into, totally.

@CoyoteTraveller the unfortunate thing lately is; my job is isolating and requires me to stay in the same place for quite some time. This means I'm a lot more likely to wind up on social media. When we weren't living in an unprecedented political disaster this led to a lot less upset, and I feel like I need to walk my involvement back.

Also, of course, we've moved from the "I want to skip work so I can be inside" to "I want to skip work so I can be outside" seasons.

the part of Siegfrieds Tod und Trauermarsch where I just cannot keep a straight face among all the apocalyptic epic and break out into "Oh mighty warrior of great fighting stock/Might I enquire to ask, ehhh, what's up, Doc?"

“ the New Age of customer service is AI first”

No, it isn’t. I’ve worked with AI just enough to know that invariably it’ll fuck up, and some actual person who is not getting paid enough will now be stuck dealing with a customer, who is now more frustrated because the first layer of stuff they went through didn’t work as advertised.

Well, blue sky appears to be down for me now

also, despite how much I loved Spider-Man II, “the power of the sun in the palm of my hand” sounds like an ad slogan for orange juice

HOT TAKE Spider Man III in 2007 should have featured Man Wolf and I say this not as a werewolf fan but as an Elfman fan, since Danny would’ve brought us an awesome soundtrack with moody violin and choral music AND theremin.

Anyway as you’re probably here for #drawings more than for my declining mental health (*I’m* here for my drawings more than my declining mental health anyway), here’s last night’s.

basically SW fandom solves towards exploring characters who have something individualistic about them, so any Imperial who gets a line or any alien. You never knew that dude third from Boba Fett when he's on the Sail Barge, is named Siegfried Bassoon and is there fundraising for environmental suits for disadvantaged youth.

I think most people have never been in a situation where the system was so obviously not there for them/so obviously self interested at their cost. Unfortunately for me, I haven't been in that sort of situation since my self-worth was a lot worse as a coping mechanism, so this is new territory for me, as well; the flip side of "hey I don't think of killing myself daily" is apparently "I'm angry and low on energy."
