Earlier this year I got briefly obsessed with a character from Greek mythology, Tiresias, the blind soothsayer of Thebes who features in nearly every play and story about that city in the ancient greek corpus.

The reason for this obsession?

For seven years, Tiresias was a woman.

A comic.

Ok, whatever you wanna say about Sam Levinson, assassination nation is absolutely one of my favorite movies. I just rewatched it and was like "damn is this timely". I don't watch TV anymore and like never got into euphoria, but I've watched this movie so many times.

A thing I drew to destress

I feel like "normal people" (whatever that means) are just really good at keeping their mouths shut when they're being exploited. Or like, I've been in so many situations where all of us are getting fucked over, and somehow I'm the only one who's pissed off enough to speak up or whatever

quoth me from a conversation I had like 20 minutes ago "being a student of history mostly feels like being gaslit by the present"

#Pottythought has anyone (a pathologist perhaps) ever called a stool sample "Very Important Poop"

Another abstractish doodle for some reason

At risk of doing a "back in my day thing was better ",

Like, having used all iterations of the Internet since the mid 90s, it's really strange how social media inverted the old internet maxim of "don't read the comments"
Now it's like, the whole thing is the comments section

One of the only bits of art I've done with the conte crayons I got from a girl who didn't wanna date me

I'm generally not very online, so I kinda think cringe isn't a real thing (or is so subjective to effectively be meaningless) so it's not so much try hard embarrassment. Maybe it's the weird class implications of art, a high end product for the rich, produced primarily by "starving artists"

It feels so pretentious writing poetry
Like all "ooooh look I'm sooooo sensitive. Omgs do you see me taking part in an art form nearly as old as language itself over here?"

Confusing day for someone who loves fireworks but hates America

The Hover, Hetch Hetchy, and me
A poem from a zine I made a while back called "what will I do if the world doesn't end"
#poetry #environmentalism

I usually treat the Internet like a library
Have come to only like that aspect
But the world is not
Shaped the same as it was
When I first
Attempted to disconnect
From what now passes
For social
Tired of non interaction
I am now willing
To try again
To reconcile with
The tools of
A lonely era.
