current mood; reciting "This is my blessing. This is my curse. Who am I? I'm SPIDER MAN!" to Danny Elfman soundtracks which are not, in fact, the first two Spider-movies.

First Transformation https://youtu.be/Blvzg4MM-IE via @YouTube

clearly the part of the soundtrack where Willem Dafoe takes the experimental serum and transforms into Christopher Walken

SKREEEEE
even in his youth, even in his youth, even in his youth
he was nothing
kept his body clean, kept his body clean, kept his body clean
going nowhere
Daddy was ashamed, Daddy was ashamed, was ashamed he was something
disgrace the family name, disgrace the family name, disgrace the family name
he was something
leave the check before you’re through
I’ve got nothing left to prove
if I die before I wake
hope I don’t come back again

Also, I stole a meme. “What is a band you think I listen to, just based on how I look?” Batch of selfies, eye contact. With clothes on, unfortunately this solves towards when I’m going places and generally happy, which isn’t a fair distribution…

So wet this morning I had to listen to the Tipperary song, if you don’t mind. We’re in the British navy now!

I feel really crummy this morning and the weather outside is like being in Ghost in the Shell.

Honestly being trans is the least interesting thing my trans friends do with their time. I really hate that our society's so devoted to making transfolks uncomfortable and, as seems to be true of prejudices, I have to ask who's making money off this and just how much.

in today's #drawing a noble (?) dwarf swims into kraken-infested waters beneath the docks. Apparently most "swimming" poses remind me of the cover to "Nevermind," hence the choice of music/lyrics.

ah yes, singing SKREEEEEE along with the guitar feedback in grunge tracks.

1) I feel like the difference in how Occupy Wall Street, earlier stages of Black Lives Matter, and now are treated are very much how Americans prefer seeing racism as a social issue with clearly defined good and bad guys and no larger social aspects. Occupy Wall Street not only included scary homeless stuff but was economic focused and therefore quickly downplayed. BLM didn't get much traction in the right-leaning media until last summer, but it was always a hard sell, and the moment it led to (unified) voices saying more vocally "hey, this country's rooted in some profoundly vile stuff" conveniently we were on to new stuff before we could start asking about things like rent control, public transit and other things which drive deeper than signs on lawns.

2) The NFT thing is incredibly disheartening; it's so obviously harmful but it's getting hyped and supported so much. It makes money for someone, and that seems to be the reason it's legitimized. Really drives home that while a free market economy might not be about this, *our* version of capitalism is great with any harm as long as the "right" people are making bank off it (rather than, say, thinking about the immense financial benefits of actually giving a flying clusterfuck about anthropogenic climate change).

back when I was a teenager I could barely convince my parents to give me a lift so I could play AD&D in the basement of Sergeant Pepper’s Pizza Circus, let alone cross state borders to kill protesters b/c of racism and with an automatic rifle

you don’t miss the 90s, you miss being younger and having a more bearable cost of living and an Internet which wasn’t largely advertising and a political and ecological situation which wasn’t so obviously sliding downhill and space which wasn’t the domain of multibillionaires and media and Photoshop which you actually owned and

you miss the 90s

IN A G LOAD DISASTER FROM THE RATE OF CLIMB
SOMETIMES I’D FAINT AND BE LOST TO OUR SIDE
BUT THERE’S NO REWARD FOR FAILURE BUT DEATH
*pulls stick far back*

Roxanna, ye need not put out thine red lanthorn!

bleah. Silly wants.

Wow, that was a big chunk of emotionally intense thoughts to drop out of my head. Makes me wish I could loiter around online for a bit longer, not have to get to work on time. Maybe get a walk in somewhere.

ah yes, making myself go to bed when I *should* do it to be responsible and I've been drowsy all evening.

a year ago this time, I thought, hey, someone's an artist like me, even if they're far more skilled, here's someone I'd probably like in person. Then this horrifying ecologically unsound legitimized scam started and I lost all respect for some people I thought I liked. Within the past week I've also discovered a complete lack of respect for the paleontologist who changed my whole worldview as a kid and a director whose stuff I really liked.

Had donburi and now need like 20 naps
