The Reconstruction Era: When America Had a Chance

December 8, 1863, almost 200 years ago, was a day that could have marked a new era of promise for America and its people.

For a brief period during Reconstruction, there was a chance to build a better, more inclusive America.m—-a nation that lived up to those lofty words of its founding documents.

My idea for a heist film is that our heroes pose as plastic surgeons as cover, gonna call it “The Nose Job.”

Guess who was scattered enough to carefully pack the Trader Joe’s salads in a bag to take, then left the bag at home, and now has li’l intrusive thoughts about how horrible it is to waste food and money and therefore they’re complete shit?

listening to Naxatras' first album, they really are just so good.

coyote sing along hour 

every stone I can turn,
every stream I held in my arms,
shed some light
move your magic
take some time
show me how, talisman.

coyote sing along hour 

lost as I may be
in the fog of my own noise and trivialities
Grand Holy Mother grant me clarity
I am standing on the edge of forever
one among infinity
witnessing the majesty
calm in this humility
witnessing the majesty
hope as far as one can see
witnessing the majesty
witnessing the majesty
witnessing the majesty
forever

oh YEAH! It's the John Barry music from the part of the movie where he plays baccarat against the shark, right before the scene with the high speed one man helicopter chase through Bangkok waterways

uspol rant 

For people who own an entire political party, define what we get to read as history, and have numbers, money, judges and police on their side, they sure do scream as though their families were dumped into mass graves, the moment a teenager transitions or they have to wear a mask.

did a batch of grocery shopping, which dovetailed into putting pork in to marinate, cleaning up some fridge fossils, taking out trash and recycling, and checking mail/paying electric bill. Cooked fish fillets to get them out of the freezer. Did a small load of laundry (did small load before con).

This is on top of work day and recovering my car from downtown. So I think no drawing tonight.

For some reason I’m not actually excited to go to Trader Joe’s for salads

They’ll have pork belly, fennel, grapefruit soda and crumpets?

What should I draw when I get off shift?

Just… there are Ashkenazic themed TTRPGS. I can’t wrap my head around a game with any of the folklore or world of my ancestors. I can’t imagine Jewish PCs, I’m remembering a conversation years ago where I said I didn’t want to pull on that for fantasy because nobody should ever have to be like me in a fantasy world, it’s like having glasses or PTSD. Idk this stirs up a lot of sediment I wasn’t thinking about.

Graffiti on bus; someone used a big black marker to scribble over a sprawling line of invectives or dicks. Someone else labelled the resulting sorta Japan-like shaped blob “nihon” and labeled all four main islands.

Images, nude but clean pinups, furries, fantasy creatures, eye contact 

from this weekend worked on today, three catgirl pinups, a page of fantasy portraits to work larger (and a frost jotun, just because), and a page of furry portraits (mostly canines and felines, but a couple of hyenas and procyonids!).

I’ve seen things you people couldn’t imagine. The worst Stuffer Shack in downtown Seattle is on the next block, chummer.

somehow I went from "songs about Halloween" to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy in general to "Hey Pachuco" to "Cuban Pete" to "Hey Ricky" because it has the line about her wanting to be in his show, and now I seem to be on early Weird Al tracks

So the garage closed and locked me out completely. I’m now waiting on the bus home. Younger me would be real sunk in self hate right now and it’s real hard not to go completely off into that right now. Someone please tell me this is the sort of honest mistake people make sometimes and not indicative that I’m complete shit?
