Oof. “Loneliness does not come from having no people around you, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to you.” - Carl Jung
This combined with #adhd RSD really makes for a lonely, lonely life.

Been working on a project at papermancy.art . This is part of it - a wake-the-brain ritual that is gentler, more tactile, than morning pages for when your brain wants more of a warmup.
The exercise is called “dawmlines”

So they’re sending the TX National Guard to Chicago in the Fall/Winter season?
All respect to the troops, but…have you heard about Napoleon’s march on Moscow? The Chosin Reservoir? Hannibal crossing the Alps?

been enjoying the “We Need Your Art” book by @amiemcnee (hoping that’s the right account). Been writing down quite a few quotes in my commonplace book, but this one I felt like doing “in her style” (but using procreate for iPad).

Hmmm…I’ve been trying the “waiting somewhere? Pull out your notebook and pen instead of your phone!” hack. It worked a little too well here at the VA. I was so busy making ranked lists and sketches of shelf layouts that I didn’t realize my PT hadn’t come to get me for […]

Enjoying reading a paper on “kakokairos” time relating to autism, learning about “R. Williams’s (2019) statement that “there is no such thing as a neurotypical person. Only someone acting in service of neurotypical ideals.” My aim here is not to establish a binary between “good” autistics and […]

"Artificial intelligence" should be removed from our collective vocabularies.
As a former computational linguist - turned conceptual artist pointed out to me, it’s an LLM, dammit. Or “synthetic text.”
