I opened my front door today to get my supermarket delivery, and saw that someone had left an open pack of canvases for me. Wow! How nice!!!! I am flabbergasted! I am a "new" artist, so only certain local people know I paint.

To be completely fair, I know how to say this in 9 languages, but I teach and love Latin.

Noli tangere cafeam mea. Don't touch my coffee.

So, I've been off Meta for a few days. I saw something on a different platform saying that all FB/IG users were automatically connected to the Tangerine Tyrant and his lackey with the eyeliner. I went on to check it out, and it was true. I immediately unfollowed and blocked... #Orwellian #Ewww

In this age of #FAFO - I'm about to!

I'm about to #FAFO what happens when I devote all my non-working hours to art

I'm about to #FAFO what happens when I gatekeep MYSELF

I'm about to #FAFO what happens when I cut off horrible people.

I think the #FO is going to be glorious.

My plans for tomorrow: teach three ELA classes, two history classes, and a Latin class; work on a painting; reorganize my art space; keep my tv set to one of my background noise series; nap at every available opportunity; and ignore the shit out of the inaugural address.

Cassius Dio on Commodus: ‘he was a greater curse to the Romans than any pestilence or any crime’... political panic, conspiracies, purges, and persecution made the empire falter.
