Stay For A Minute

Artist, dog lover, cat lover

yesterday ended up as an instructive lesson for me – the target audience for those “how to talk to your problematic family members over thanksgiving” type articles are the ones who are picking fights over holidays. this is the first time i’ve ever experienced something like this and i’m still annoyed.

we celebrated with my wife’s family this year. her brother’s new girlfriend is one of the most unpleasant people i’ve ever met. she’s like a groyper twitter user’s stereotype of a social justice warrior, and this is coming from someone who has TA’d and taught college students before. just an usually potent expression of that personality type who is impossible to have a conversation with. flew off the handle whenever someone made a joke with any more edge than “why did the chicken cross the road?”, including self-deprecating ones. eg, wife and i making dumb lesbian jokes about our own relationship.

she also told me that she thought my field was a waste of resources when climate change exists which is… much more offensive than anything that was said by anyone else. who died and made you the arbiter of what is and isn’t a bullshit job?

i wish i could tell her and people like her that they are not the first generation to discover kindness, or ethics, or whatever they think is being accomplished here. moral superiority can never last forever. in ten or fifteen years time, you'll also have a 23 year old idiot screaming at you over a transgression that you can’t comprehend. don’t act so mighty. time makes fools of us all. same with me. same with anyone reading.

i didn’t, though. we just migrated to another part of the house to avoid her.

There seems to be some people who think i refer to being able to be braless outside, so let me make it clear: we need to be able to be topless outside

Can you even call yourself a con artist if you’re not legally changing your name to avoid false advertising laws?

the way ivan aivazovsky looks at the sea…i think…i think that’s what love looks like.

[soracities]

love is surrounding yourself with people who see you this clearly

Still the freakiest fact about him is that despite being as tall as a person or more, he banged out these beauties in a day or two at most (and smaller ones ina matter of hours). The longest he spent on a painting, at age 81, to make his largest ever painting, was TEN DAYS:

It is 2.9×4.3 meters large. That’s 9'4"×14'1" for people in other measurement systems. It’s HUGE. There are artists out there that spend years on paintings much smaller than this. He was not one of them.

He also didn’t only paint the sea, but he MOSTLY painted the sea. Very few people could draw light filtering through waves the way this guy did and apparently it was tied into his layering technique that allowed him to paint so goddamn fast.

He is obviously my most favorite painter ever.

I just don't think that there's this big majority of happy "neurotypicals" who aren't at all bothered by working a crappy full-time job just to barely afford a room in a shitty apartment in a world that gets scarier by the day and doesn't leave much time OR money for either connection, rest, self care or hobbies. Like I think that's a myth we are being sold to shame us into acting like we're fine too actually for as long as we possibly can

People with no childhood trauma is so confusing like what do you mean you cried to your mum and she helped you?
