I like to make things, research things, and generally mess around. I also like esoteric things.

I decided to try bluesky. I know it’s during the mass Twitter exit, but I left Twitter right after Elon took over, and had problems before that. I went back to comfortable social media I knew how to navigate. Tumblr and Mastadon. I recently am trying threads and now this.
I’m mostly a lurker though.

Doodle day 2. I’m gonna try and keep this up but no promises. Doing long term commitments is too overwhelming with how I’m feeling right now

I tried acrylic painting the other day, and I don’t know if it’s my depression or just that it’s been so long, but I hated what I made. I think it’s a combo of both.

I’ve seen a lot more people feeling comfortable making stigmatizing jokes against mentally ill people. Listen Hakeem Jeffries sucks, but living with a mental illness that is highly stigmatized is hard, you don’t have to belittle a whole group of people to make fun of an ineffective politician.
hakeem jeffries is an inspiration for lobotomy survivors everywhere 💪

I’ve been going through my old line art. I have a problem of hating all my past work so I’ve been trying to appreciate what I have done before.

New sketchbook to start after my eye surgery
My surgery went well, now it’s a waiting game for healing and eye stabilization. But that should only be a few weeks. But I got center vision back!

My eye surgery was a success! I can see in the middle of my face again! Now just a few weeks of healing and I can hopefully start working on all the projects I had to delay.

A speed run through drawings I am working on while I wait for eye surgery. I can’t draw what I normally do but that doesn’t mean I’ll stop drawing

I have a lot of movies I’ve meant to watch, but haven’t gotten around to it. So I’m trying to take the time to. So, I watched Annihilation yesterday. I really enjoyed it. It was very pretty and well acted.

Only nut cases want to be president. This was true even in high school. Only clearly disturbed people ran for class president.

I wish my eye surgery was sooner. June 2024-Feb 2025. I’m not supposed to drive, I get migraines from my eyes. For routine strabismus surgery, 8 months. Not counting the year wait to get into the eye doc for the referral to the specialist.
