I just wanted to fix up a house and now look at this.
I have no money to give you, even when I want to.
Fuck crypto and the trumpsterfire.
I loathe AI.
This is my yelling hole. Don't like my posts. I'm just yelling. Or do. Idc. YELLING.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.
You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.
That is all.

I would like to propose we start calling the Heritage Foundation the FHF. I don't think I need to explain what the extra F is for.

Meeting with a new client today. I've decided that if I can't get a job doing what I love, then I will just work with clients who are doing something important and charge them NGO prices. My financial needs aren't massive, I'm so very lucky to have a supportive partner, & it's the right thing to do.

Same goes for genAI supplanting art and sex. The illusion of depth minus all that pesky dissent.
just so it's clear: this is the exact core function of genAI
Fascist government and climate deniers love it because it can produce the aesthetics of knowledge without any actual tendency towards truth. It is automated denialism.
Shame on every climate scientist promoting its use (there are lots)

Bob and I were among the hundreds of researchers that were supposed to conduct the 6th U.S. National Climate Assessment. Now it looks like they're gonna produce it with a few people and Grok? Communities need rigorous and accurate information about climate change. This will put communities at risk.

I'm not a hard and fast believer in NY Resolutions, but I would reapply appreciate it if 2026 turned into the year I had planned 2025 to be. No Dickensian plot point diseases, one surgery to fix what other doctors fucked up, design work, art shows, relearn guitar, and possibly play gigs.

Fun fact!
There are literally millions of artists and designers who require less payment than a name brand studio.
Unfortunately, no major brands follow me, so nothing will change.

This is obviously distressing but also who the fuck are they going to hire?? They’re already recruiting guys who weren’t qualified enough to be mall cops. Where are these 14k people coming from?
New: We got an internal ICE document revealing its $100 million ad plan to bring in 14,000 new hires: deals with "tactical" influencers; ads to gun & military buffs; and geo-targeting phones around NASCAR races and gun shows.

Well, after spending a week fussing with the last earpad, the other one decided to show me how poorly the connector piece was initially designed.
For my final artcraft of 2025, I will be reaming what I thought was finished and replacing it with what I know works.
Seems fitting.

Boycotting a venue due to shit management is a time honored tradition in all forms of art and is nothing close to boycotting art itself.

ah every consumer is complaining about how generic media feels, lately. Perhaps instead of supporting artists, replacing them with a robot that stitches together recycled materials will solve it

I moved wrong at some point and got myself a pinched nerve. No biggie, this is just what my body does.
Unfortunately for me, I've grown more stubborn as the years stack up.
I can't stop myself from sweeping because it was my plan today. 4 min bursts, then sit.
So stubborn. Just stop.
No. Lol.

I would like to thank every musician who's canceled on the fascist trumpsterfire. It's been giving joy and energy that rolls around in my bones like snow leopards playing with ball lightning. I love that no matter what money is involved, the arts don't play with the lives of their peers.

I tried to play guitar for 10 minutes, and my lymphademous fret hand is now palpably swelling up inside of my medical gauntlet. Fun!

I don't want to clean. I only want to make things. However, the house is in such a state that making things is less pleasant to do, and I feel guilty for not cleaning.
So I'm not moving from this chair, apparently. Maybe ever.

Recognize the demands already made? When people make statements like this, they're actively erasing efforts both past & ongoing.
I get that it's slow, but The HF took decades to build this. And while people screamed in alarm, they were dismissed for overreacting.
Have patience. Keep fighting.
