up in the middle of the night because up in the middle of the night, this time. Probably anxious or angry or air pressure shift.
Something I really like about furry fandom is that we started as people drawing (horny) cartoons, and as the fandom grew suddenly became also people painting (sometimes horny) wildlife art, and (only rarely horny) fine art. Like one of the things to like about humans (and adjacent) is that given half a chance we'll go abstract and artsy.
Y’all come right on down to Big Dave’s Big Dickwaving Store! Your best source online for ALL your conservative gear! Yep we got it all, from death’s head on crossed AR belt buckles, to baseball caps which let everyone know you’re sure your freedom of religion has been violated! Cause NOTHING says “common man with a persecuted opinion” like spending all sorts of money to get up in everyone’s faces about stuff pushed by one or both political parties, corporations, media, churches & public schools!
Politics adjacent rant
Now and then tho I run into conservatives online and it’s not hey, other scared people buying into their own biases, as I’d like to think; it’s like transphobes or being back in Georgia, where these folks just have a really mean, angry, exclusionary take on the world.
Politics adjacent rant
When I worked for a small business which sold mostly diesel and various lubricants, I got exposed to a maybe actual centrist? POV; without an alternative to move TO, trying to push people away from old (in this case literally) toxic system just wound up being cruel. I saw a much further right POV which had some legit points.
I’m a bleeding heart so I WANT to believe folks on the other side can have valid points, that they’re other scared people who don’t trust power, etc..
(Bartok’s on record as saying it should be performed faster than it usually is or can be.)
But also, despite being a song from the 50s/60s about a dance, there’s no lyrics about how to actually DANCE the Mash. No “drop your shoulders and shuffle left, crinkle your nose and bare teeth, stick your hands straight out in front of you” or anything like that.

Capitalism; a batch of rich folks constantly trying to sell me GROWING MY BRAND which is insult on top of injury because my “brand” relies on things like having resources to improve skills and promote myself, and then surviving on artist income, both of which are LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE because similar rich folks constantly hike gas, food and housing prices.
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.
