I mostly draw, paint, and grow plants. Sometimes I write about gardening, long covid, watching civilization's last fingers slip from a cliff, and living under the great Texas hell dome. After years of cooking, I studied anthropology at UTexas.
a friend mailed this to me after the 2001 election — in an actual letter! It was my first intro to the Onion's "it could be real, idk!" headlines. theonion.com/bush-our-lon...

Mr Bonkers, the porch kitty who likes to occasionally conduct surprise inspections, is concerned about unauthorized personnel on the a/c.

I have a little outdoor kitchen too, but it is in progress, so I haven't cooked yet. not pictured is a little Weber grill behind me.

i will move the rosemary when I cook (move it onto the focaccia, amirite?)

please know I did not seek out a comment form, it was just there, and that little horrified emoji just spoke to me. it's probably answered by bots but either way, we need to fix this shit or we need to turn it off.

what a stupid waste of a morning. I composted it, btw.

the ah-eee can whip up a deranged cartoon of the rat king flying around the US shitting on our fun, yet when I, a modest baker, seek a conscious disposal method for stale baking yeast, the first hit is basically a robot impersonating a human, poorly guessing what a baker wants to know.

Pearl's daily communique with Rocky Karate.

Our window is covered in oak pollen. Everything is covered in oak pollen. If I ingest any more oak pollen I will sneeze acorns.

Pearl, and Rocky Karate.

my understanding (from guessing, and the above video) is that when Moebius was automatic drawing, he started fresh every day. I always want to go back and clean it up, so sometimes the next day I add/remove details, layers, and corrections until I concede that it's time to move on.

detail from today's automatic drawing exercise. this is a very complicated robot in the future but from a past in our future. #jeremyberemy

this is, like, a lot of homework. I will have to think about this very slowly.

Using one photo already on your phone, what is the announcement tomorrow at 2?

restarted automatic drawing exercises after forgetting i did that. I don't focus well enough yet to plan drawings. I make a grid and perspective lines, and trance draw whatever all over them, not thinking, just Bob Rossing around, happy trees, happy antlers, happy idkwtf.

a worm or caterpillar (if I add legs?), I was thinking about Mr. Mind a lot bc I think the brain worms are definitely going around.

probably going to add piles of food with one bite from each.

I have been drawing and erasing a lot to get comfortable and establish a habit

I painted my old drafting table with chalkboard paint, because I have a lot of crumbling old newsprint pads full of messy drawings and nothing lasts forever, and I thought the big white expanse of table was stressful.

a few minutes ago, overwhelmed, worried, had to touch grass, I met a little guy at the back door.

we were not prepared for so much rain.

I worried about drought, now I just worry most of the time. there is so much to do. so much demands attention.
