Beloveds, please remember: even when the world is on fire, your garden hose of compassion and care DOES make a difference, however so humble

Try to stay hydrated. Take the meds and do the things that help you. Eat a food. Try to get outside for about 5 minutes if you can

You are NOT failing

Still on social media hiatus but also look at this pirate story I put up last week

Tomorrow's post is a writing post, so, y'know... 👀

(no, I have no idea what to name this book, but I do know how it ends)
Unnamed Pirate Story - Chapter 1
“Name?” the bosun asked the man in front of Jeb and his mate Scab, the same as he'd asked the first dozen men, more than likely. This time Jeb was close enough to hear what was being said. The bosun d...

I'm still on social media break, but I have a blog update with some details about why it was necessary and what I'm doing about it

Meds seem to be doing good for me, I think, by the way. We'll see

I'm taking a social media hiatus. The PTSD has been bugging out since September and right now it's BEYOND my control. I'm so far out of my depth right now I'm actually underwater

Meds appointment tomorrow. I'm TRYING

But right now I am just struggling to remember I want to keep breathing

Cell service where I live basically doesn't exist right now. I managed to find a tiny corner in the back yard

A lot to say, little I care to right now. PTSD is being a bitch. Not without trigger, but it's a hair trigger and I'm not sure why that's happening

"Look, there goes another fucking puppet elected
Dance little puppet, dance for the neglected
Impunity from truth, lies come to be expected
Sever head of Hydra, two parties resurrected"

Among other fucking BARS, no wonder this song is getting suppressed

I want to talk to both my fellow artist and to non artists for a minute about something. To be an artist comes with a duty to humanity, passed down through history

Our duty is truth. That truth can be gentle, that truth can scream, that truth can hit like a truck

Strap in, I've got a 🧵

This just came through my brain:

The right wing right now are uninformed cowards. They ACT but out of their own terror of what they don't understand

The left wing right now are INFORMED cowards. They DON'T act even though they can see the damage happening for fear of being perceived negatively

"I fought a war inside myself
The war of every working man
The war of whats and whys and hows
And when's the time to take a stand?
And who's the one that put me in my place?
You? Or is it God?
Is compliance staying silent
If defiance comes from love?"

And SO MANY other lyrics I could quote omfg

This is actively getting suppressed. It's in the Top 10 charts but reach of the video is being limited

Literally just watch the first 2 minutes and you can probably guess why. By the end, you will have NO QUESTIONS about it

The word "ret*rded" is in it, but gang, that's BAIT. OBVIOUS bait, to boot

And you don't even have to do it in a super serious presentation

It's possible to make art relevant to a massive crisis, that yet also makes people smile, if that's your focus

The point is to do it, and put it out into the milieu for others to take from it what they need & give back what they can

If you're pissed off at the system and ignoring Ren but also specifically this song, you're a simp

Yeah, I said it. You're a simp for sleeping on this man and his art because of whatever justification you've made up in your head

Listen to the words he's singing and tell me I'm lying, I dare you
