something AWESOME about Seattle nobody tells you so I will; hopefuly not violating code or something.

We have awesome public radio stations! KEXP obvs. C89.5 is good for thumpy dance tracks. And there's KNKX, the jazz and blues station.

During rush hour they play NPR news, and Saturday mornings is a quiz show, but Saturday evenings are an all blues show, it's pretty much always been awesome. Late evenings in the dark and rain while trying to chill out is basically what the genre's made for.

Today’s walk!

ahem

boiling heat
summer stench
'neath the black the sky looks dead
call my name through the cream and I'll hear you scream again
THUMP THUMP THUMP
Black Hole Sun, won't you come
and wash away the rain?
Black Hole Sun, won't you come,
won't you come?

(but wait, you say, isn't that just the video for Lone Digger?)

thinking about deleting my Bluesky acct.

Made myself draw some this evening. #drawings

but... but... how can you possibly be "high on life" that's a depressant!

Condom model kits are called “conpla.”

Too upset to nap apparently?

When the Brits come up with a Belgian sleuth, they come up with Hercule Poirot, when the Belgians come up with a Belgian sleuth, they come up with Inspector Gadget.

bleah, let me guess, this is actually some sort of bullshit gender dysphoria

edit: I did some thinking and yep. It's bullshit gender dysphoria.

"You don't need therapy, you need to get fucked by 14 horny werewolves behind the Waffle House"

"But doctor, I *am* a horny werewolf"

... damnit, this isn't as funny as I thought it was.

Loomis' "Figure Drawing for All It's Worth," sort of a bible to some artists, ends on this comment that ideally you copy off and admire different artists but quietly, to yourself, say "yeah but I like how *I* do things."

and I think that's basically self worth; the world's full of people who are better than you in every conceivable way and somehow you've got to go yeah but none of them are ME, I do ME better than anyone else could.

Great in theory, hard to actually believe, though.

wow

mood crashing again

still?

Trying to get past feeling crummy so making myself post tonight’s #drawing.

Also; today I found what would make a GREAT background track for Call of Cthulhu games.

... the only problem is it's hard to listen to this without imagining Terry Gilliam animations

I just wrote the Israeli consulate asking them to please step it down, explaining that I have family in Tel Aviv and online friends in Israel so I'm not unbiased. This will accomplish roughly nothing, but it's important to have lodged a protest through formal channels for the sake of formality imho.

not that this matters as consulates/embassy probably have people outside screaming the usual amount of tolerance towards Jews which I've come to expect in protests, probably met with the careful and diplomatic response I associate with police. You attend as many protests as I have, you get cynical.
