Apparently this is one of the two parts of the book that really lodged in my brain. I’m thinking about this because the self hate which truly fucked with me for decades was a convenient reaction to shitty stuff happening to me; explained it, distracted me from discomfort, matched how I was told I was shitty, matched how I felt like an out of control monster while angry (about to come up again), and directed anger inwards where I wouldn’t be punished for it.

Show thread

Remembering one of the first self help books I ever owned, now vanished in a move, Cheri Huber’s “There is Nothing Wrong with You.” It was literally reproduced handwritten/drawn pages. One talked about the origin of self hate and how you, the reader as a kid, naturally came to the conclusion that you must be doing something wrong otherwise the adults wouldn’t treat you this way, with a big drawing of a gong and the word MISTAKE! Plus an explanation that you wouldn’t have concluded anything else.

Completely the opposite of dark spin-off about traumatized kid getting to run around a huge mansion with Alfred being kind and encouraging, and the end of the story is he goes out and defends people not because he’s just a wreck but because he had these great experiences.

up early in the morning filking "Diggy Diggy Hole" to "Fucky Fucky Hole" about short bearded bear types using glory holes

naw, just kidding. I'm actually up with anxiety.

this sounds so 90s, KEXP played this a while back

if I really felt it'd help much I'd try to join Kurt and Rob and Chris

coyote sing along hour 

she's there
in case I want at all
he's scared
because I want
she's there
in case I want at all
he's scared
because I want
all in all the clock is slow
six colored pictures all in a row
of a marigold

song lyrics 

Let's talk about someone else
The steaming soup begins to melt
Nothing really bothers her
She just wants to love herself
I will move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
No thought was put into this
I always knew to come like this
Things have never been so swell

Images, fantasy creatures, undead, eye contact, spiders 

Anyway here are some shitty drawings I did today related to shitty D&D because I like to pretend I’m an artist while I’m waiting to die.

At this point I might refuse transition out of sheer SPITE so that there’s a cis male actually an ally against literally some of the worst crap claiming to be human.

Frankly I’ve had it up to here with these nauseating little fash suck ups and if someone expresses TERFism within arms reach of me I am going to hit them. Non-violence is a mature conversation and you have it with beings deserving of non-violence.

Again I’m reminded that fucking transphobes are pretty close to fundamentalists and Nazis as far as people who would be completely shitty no matter what they espoused, and that if someone says they’re a “centrist,” they aren’t.

Resubmitted my appeal. I’m pissed off right now.

Show thread

Apparently I need to resubmit my appeal to the dental insurance company. Apparently “denying a claim for routinely connected procedures and demanding money five months later is not timely” wasn’t a good argument.

Fuck you parasites.

Currently both feeling low self worth while also completely understanding it accomplishes nothing except screwing with my enjoyment of things.

Image, furry art, eye contact 

While I was looking for coyote art I found this old old piece which honestly is one of my favorite or possibly the favorite piece of furry art I’ve ever done. Based off memories of Sword of the Phoenix, a seriously magical place.

Image, eye contact, fart joke 

While I was looking for any coyote themed art I’d done I found this really childish joke from a decade ago.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but an adamantium skeleton, tough guy monologues and cheap stogies isn’t a personality.

Images, old, firearm, nudity 

So it’s apparently coyote day and I don’t draw coyotes very often. Here are two older drawings completely opposite in character. Happy coyote visibility day!
