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.

Success! After 3 tries, I got the tech to work and filmed the first video for my upcoming #papermancy workshop!
5 more to go…plus livestreams…plus…oy. Good thing I enjoy this. HTTP://papermancy.art

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”

I love that in an article about AI workslop I find a justification for my existence… https://medium.com/@WeWillNotBeFlattened/have-you-been-workslopped-790681bc539b

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 […]

Writing a piece about the dangers of whiteboards as an organizational solution...very proud of the meta-meme I created around it.

Working on some ideas for a #handlettering for a friend. Fun to just spend some time stroking the chaos (WorstEuphemismEver)

Today Calm app tried to tell me to repeat "May I be happy...May I be safe..May I be free of fear and anxiety...may I be at peace." and my thoughts immediately derailed. "Happy"? That's transitory. Not a sustainable state. Likewise, as. trans friend once told me when I […]

I once asked my gay daughter before, why she didn’t leave to go to a state where gay marriage was legal. She told me that this is her home, and she was going to fight for the right. Her wedding was beautiful, even though at the time it seemed like anti-gay violence […]

Looking for some music of resistance? Yeah, I know, it’s on an evil platform…but it may be the soundtrack you need to get you through your day.

I know that “someone said something on teh interwebs that made me mad” isn’t always the best way to be inspired…but I think of this as a good old fashioned rebuttal to someone who seemed far too comfortable in her conditioned prejudices […]

This will be interesting.
My first attempt at a personal fundraiser WITHOUT using the Big Socials.
These are exactly the kinds of times that organizations like Community Shares is made for. While our member orgs are trying to adapt to the times and sometimes fight for […]

In case you’re wondering what it looks like when the federal government suddenly decides to pull funding, this is it. $500,000 going to US farmers pulled because of the Republicans aversion to anything they think of as #dei .
I don’t have stats handy, but it’s likely […]

Today for some reason my partner and I decided to pick up our (re)watch of Battlestar Galactica (2004 version, I’ve seen it all before, it’s her first time).
Weirdly, it felt…right. Really the right tone for this particular time of our culture.

I’m not doing a good job explaining @bsky.brid.gy to my Bluesky friends; they think I’m asking them to sign up for a new account on yet another service, which yeah, I would refuse too.
I tried describing it as a window; it just provides you with the ability to look […]
