And now there’s nothing work wise, which makes me paranoid we’re about to be swamped, and without feeling okay to pull out paper and draw, I have lots of time for shitty body image thoughts SO maybe it’s time to post photos of Sunday’s hike.

Today’s sad but funny social media thing since I haven’t been on Instagram for a bit is the guilt trip about following people’s broadcasts or Threads.

“Paints40kminislikeaminordeity, Waybetterartist and 12 others are on Threads, but you’re not following them, Leon, why aren’t you following them?”
*sweats*

Ahhhhh yes, The Lost Boys soundtrack. A classic..

This can’t possibly end up in me whining about how I miss going to Santa Cruz/by extension getting to visit my friend up in the mountains/and pet cats/and watch Steven Universe with her/oh shit this is getting out of hand/rapidly

WHAT AFRICAN MAMMALS LOOK LIKE

Look lady I appreciate that you don’t have Covid, I appreciate that you’re using a face shield and mask, and I basically like you BUT

It’s fucking unfair that you get a cold from a week’s vacation in Vegas and I am likely to get your cold cause I’m stuck here making money for rich landlords.

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

herr mannelig herr mannelig trolofen i mig

takeaways from trying to render stuff at Barnes & Noble Cafe after work today;

1) I can get through a lot of an elaborate picture after work, but I probably won't finish

2) this feels as good as penciling or inking after work

3) I have fewer "spoons" after a workday and if something gets under my skin, even if I'm hyperfocused and taking down tablet etc is a bigger deal, I shouldn't hesitate to get my ass out of there. I got stressed out when I really didn't need to.

starting the urban legend that Deforest Kelley came up with the name for seven year Vulcan itch because after all it makes sense that the cast’s southerner would describe feeling ridiculously passionate as “upon fire”

Dear coworker recently returned from Vegas could you please stop coughing or could you do it not right near my desk?

As usual if I look at anything where there could possibly be antisemitism there is, there’s no fucking consequences, and I come away from it HATING humanity.

As part of my job I’m dealing with a lot of BOLs going to a warehouse in Dacula, GA, and all I can think is “do people slam in the back of Dacula and/or are people from there sick of being asked if they slam in the back?”

this town is coming like a ghost town
all the clubs are being closed down
this place is coming like a ghost town
bands won't play no more
(too much fighting on the dance floor)

do you remember the good old days before the ghost town?
we danced and sang as the music played in any boom town.

this town is coming like a ghost town
(why must the youth fight against themself?
government leaving the youth on the shelf!)
this place is coming like a ghost down
(No job to be found in this country)
can't go on no more
(people getting angry)

this town is coming like a ghost town.

this town is coming like a ghost town.

this town is coming like a ghost town.

Ran into CPTSD/depression stuff, but trying to push through by #drawing and listening to Garmarna

I made it through 30 minutes of Theodore Bikel singing Yiddish folk songs but can't listen to more without my arteries clogging from the schmaltz

Brits are pretty phlegmatic by comparison, let's listen to Steeleye Span

let's see, a song about a soldier dying too young

okay let's try Garmarna...

Hot take: Of Wolf and Man is NOT actually Metallica’s best song

Hot Take II: whether Master of Puppets or One is their best song is equally subjective since it’s basically whether you’re more about guitar or drums.

Oh shit I put on Metallica but I can’t really roll d6s at work! Online random number generator gets me 14, 09, 12, 11, 14, 08. Seems like pretty solidly fighter or pacifist cleric stats?

https://bsky.app/profile/picardsteacup.bsky.social/post/3k77xvq47jy2e apparently the worst filth of the Bay Area are having a public celebration of their newfound ability to harm sentient beings. In case anyone wanted to crash their little soiree.

My parasitology textbook in college was filled with stuff less harmful and more human than fucking landlords.

This isn’t truly a repost of last night’s #drawing as I’d made some edits.
