re: vent
@Oneironott Trying to think of the right thing to say here, and maybe there isn't one, or maybe there doesn't have to be one aside from that yeah, I read all this and it actually makes sense.
I wound up doing some soul searching unintentionally
Was thinking about how it looks like I have nothing to live for, and then I thought hey wait, isn't just being alive an okay reason to live? I have to be/make/discover/accomplish something special sounds really REALLY like gifted kid baggage.
I'm used to thinking that The Big Accomplishment is going to be ahead because otherwise I'm a total failure, someone who got wrecked as a kid and never really prospered (see the above this sounds like a gifted kid holdover), but. Who can say that the big accomplishment in my life, the thing I was supposed to be on this earth for, WASN'T that time I stayed with someone going into diabetic shock until the EMTs showed up, or that time I worked for a no-kill shelter, or that time I inspired a Starbucks barrista to start drawing again, or the time I let a homeless therian camp on my floor for a week then got them to Portland, or WASN'T just helping my ex get to Planned Parenthood to get birth control pills and being okay with her not having her uterus pulled? Or a batch of other things I just don't remember or feel good about right now?
@chimerror I think yes in a way, since I feel like everything gets made into a subscription service or put on media which has problems or winds of being unsupported. And a public library IS basically a free subscription service but the fucking fash are trying to make those go away.
@xinjinmeng who were you hanging around who'd manage to reference all of *these*?
watching a documentary on Mike Mignola, and he, Steve Purcell and Arthur Adams are talking about how they used to live in the same apartment building in Oakland and they used to walk around Mountain View Cemetery because it was close and pretty. I've BEEN THERE! I've been to the exact cemetery that probably inspired a batch of imagery in Hellboy and I didn't clue in AT ALL!
#subpost "Iggy" is short for "Iggwilv" so Iggy Pop gets his distinctive name from exploring the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth back in 1982

how does it look from there, Charles? Still fighting the good fight? From HERE, it looks like they're not playing by your rules.
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.
