My little guy is now just over a year old. A slightly bigger little guy.

well you know what they say. when you've invested billions of dollars into hammers every problem looks like a nail and you keep handing these hammers to your users and they go "i don't really think i needed this hammer" and "but i don't have any nails that need hammering in right now" and "this is not a nail this is a glass vase that will break if i hit it with a hammer" and "didn't you used to have, like, other tools avaliable that might be better suited to this job" and you tell them to suck it up because you've replaced all your screwdrivers and wrenches and box cutters and crates and ladders and paint with hammers because your shareholders need to see an increase in value from your hammer investments

audiences have no idea how to be uncomfortable anymore

[officialfoxsquadron]

watch movies that make you uncomfortable read books that make you uncomfortable go to plays that make you uncomfortable watch tv that makes you uncomfortable look at paintings and sculpture and artwork that makes you uncomfortable. it is spiritually and morally and ethically and artistically really really good for you. think about why you are uncomfortable. what biases do you bring to art? what biases does the art bring to you? how do you reconcile this? how does your worldview grow and expand and change? all this and more will be answered and available to you if you just engage with art that does not coddle you and treats you like an intelligent human being that can sit through discomfort

a couple years ago I visited Collection de l’Art Brut, a museum in Lausanne that features art created by outsiders in society (prisoners, psych ward patients, disabled people, recluses, etc)

many pieces I would deem “conventionally attractive,” but there were many pieces that also made me uncomfortable; despite it, this is still one of the greatest and most memorable museums I’ve visited

the post above is speaking truths

its awesome theres a vampire on sesame street because you need to introduce children to the concept as early as possible

Netflix has a lot of nerve crying and screaming and throwing up and having a tantrum about how password sharing is killing their business and making them hemorrhage money and how they're just struggling to stay afloat, then turning around and spending 72 billion dollars trying to become a monopoly by buying fucking Warner Bros

I've written before about Flynn's habit of showing/herding me to sit on benches when we're out. For some reason, if he sees an empty bench, Flynn wants me to sit down on it. Not for long but I should sit, because that's The Rule. He's done this as long as I can remember - despite him not otherwise wanting to stop on walks. Before I had Flynn's prompting, I didn't even use benches very often but my health isn't great, so I don't complain about having a rest & do - usually - sit when he asks me to!

Now, normally Flynn "finds" benches when we're in the woods & there are only a few seats total. However, a few days ago we went for a short walk round the old churchyard & along the length of one side of the church is a whole long row of benches. I DID sit down on the 1st bench Flynn "showed" me, which he was pleased about. Here he is monitoring my sitting:

After a cpl of minutes, Flynn decided a) he was bored &/or b) I'd had enough rest, so he encouraged me back up. We continued on our way... well, sort of. Flynn passed one bench, but we had a standoff beside the one after that, because he wanted me to sit & I did not want to sit. In the pic below, it looks like he was merely sniffing the seat. No. Flynn was alternately poking at the bench with his nose & then staring me dead in the eye, to make sure I was getting the message...

Despite my attempts to jolly him along, our progress down that row of benches was s l o o o o w... Flynn would sulkily go past one or 2, but then decide I should definitely sit on the next bench & we'd have another standoff. This last pic was at the last but one bench. Flynn was now quite annoyed with my wilfulness. For a few seconds he just looked at me & then he suddenly slapped his paw on the bench & then he did it again & just waited. The message was clear: "See where my paw is? You sit right there! Sit!!".

He makes me laugh. I've never thought I'd see the day when my own dog resorted to smacking a bench, in an effort to order me to sit down & follow The Rules (which HE made up)!

When I was in high school in [year redacted] I had a USB like this that lived in my wallet. It's not new tech, but I'm glad that it's coming back around.

I think "never kill yourself" is one of the funniest phrases to come out of the internet in recent times. Deeply silly but also captures the importance of experiences one might think frivolous or inconsequential.

[maidthings]

Its true tho. Sometimes I'll just be sitting on the floor drinking a beer and think "im so fuckin glad i didn't do it"

I think it sucks that you have to go to so many different kinds of doctor to take care of yourself. It's the 21st century. I should be able to go to a single office where they scan me with a big xerox machine and tell me what I'm allergic to and why my tummy hurts and if I have any cancer or cavities or if my glasses prescription has changed. And then I should get a sticker.

Your art will be stunted if you don't embrace the things that make it weird.
