I drew some creatures for an exhibition at beloved local queer bar the Bearded Tit, loosely based on my fellow bar-goers.

I made some weird little watercolor and gouache paintings for a sci-fi-themed exhibition. I was miles out of my comfort zone and some of my paintings were Quite Bad but I had fun

My psychic gf: we are getting dunkin donuts right i can see we're getting dunkin donuts very soon we are approaching the threshold of the timeline dunkin is reaching 90% likelihood can you feel it

Me: you know i can't fucking drive with you flashing 8k resolution images of donuts into my fucking head right

i get into a horrific car accident while carrying a crock pot full of meatballs in the passenger seat. at the hospital, the surgeons cannot sort out which chunks of meat are me and which are not, so I end up with several meatballs sewn into my guts. despite this I make a full recovery, and they elect not to remove the meatballs because quote 'they seem comfy in there.' i go on the talk show circuit and become moderately famous as The Meatballs Woman. when i die i am buried under a gravestone with meatballs carved on it. in the year 2438, a grad student from what is now Cambodia who is studying the late pre-collapse American Empire writes her thesis on this, concluding that I probably never existed and was a conflation of several real stories and urban legends. years later, a pop-history book wildly misinterprets this and several other things, arguing for the existence of a historic American religious pantheon including figures like The Meatballs Woman, Florida Man, Emperor Norton, etc. this book sells bizarrely well and inspires a new neo-pagan movement, which in turn leads to a weird shipping community, resulting in a small but vibrant scene of ABO fics featuring me and MrBeast (who in this context has been interpreted as a god of excess and trickery)

this chilling scenario is only one of the multiple reasons I am going to attempt to not crash my car today

For y’all in the notes saying “well actually rock n roll and the food here were made by marginalized communities who were discriminated against” I hate to break it to you but you’re like two steps away from saying “well black people and Mexicans aren’t actually American the same way white people are” because whatever the reason, whether it was through oppression or not, BIPOC have influenced American culture an incredible amount and it’s so disrespectful and racist to say they don’t actually count as Americans

forgotn1

American culture isn’t exclusively white culture. American culture is far deeper and more diverse than that.

Me, reading discourse on the internet: woah, this is JUST like dandelions and amaranth and oaks and pawpaw trees

The one thing Darwin was most terribly wrong about has done so much damage.

Darwin believed competition was the main driver of evolution. Now, many scientists are revolutionizing the field with evidence that no, evolution is equally, if not more, driven by a vast web of cooperation.

But people still think about society in a competition-based way.

A woman using the word "partner" to describe her boyfriend somehow "takes away" from gay people??? A cishet guy wearing a dress is somehow bad for transgender people???

Don't y'all know that the most tough and resilient plants thriving in a hostile environment make it possible for the other ones to survive?...

...Anyway this is why I don't shave my legs. Disaster species (autistic who is completely oblivious and indifferent to all social judgement and critique) taking hold in hostile environment (misogynistic society) preparing that environment to support a wide variety of species (many other women who would want to stop shaving but don't want to feel judged and alone)

now i want there to be a comic that's a panorama of a teeming forest with giant trees and mosses and lichens everywhere, the ground is covered in loads of fancy orchids and berries and flowers and the understory is packed with blossoming and fruiting shrubs, there are multicolored birds everywhere and deer browsing in a little meadow full of sunbeams where wildflowers and vines are going wild

Up toward the lower corner two flowers are having a conversation: "We didn't have any of this stuff back when I was young ...orchids that can't even sprout in the first place without the mycorrhizal network!...flowers that can only be pollinated by one specific rare bee...I just think it's getting a little out of control...there are even plants down there in the bog claiming to be carnivorous! Plants that don't even want to have chlorophyll anymore...We're photosynthetic autotrophs! That's a biological fact!...Don't you think it's a little ridiculous? Sixty years ago you never heard about anything like that...The weeds that came here after this place was logged wouldn't have approved of it..."

Some guy: People like you would have never been accepted when we lived in THE WILDERNESS.

The wilderness: *literally interconnected by a vast symbiotic network that distributes resources among the plant community, gets steadily more diverse and supports more fragile species with more specific needs as it matures, everything is interdependent, a huge variety of weird organisms that wouldn't survive in a more hostile environment indicates a thriving ecosystem*

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

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.

“Still the freakiest fact about him is that despite being as tall as a person or more,”

Initially I didn’t realise this referred to the size of the paintings and briefly thought Ivan Aivazovsky was “as tall as a person or more” and imagined a freakishly tall Slavic artist lovingly painting the enchanting play of light and colour on the sea

Darkness Manifesting by The Phantom Painter.

Sometimes the rats in my brain come together and start yelling “YEARNING” and in trying to appease them I ask “FOR WHAT” but they are too small so all they can say is “YEARNING” which is a very big word for such a tiny creature, even collectively

I loved this visual so much I had to doodle it.

The science behind THC + alcohol as a combination is literally soo interesting because it basically causes the crimson red duckling in your body to confront the serpent in the bronze vessel of your heart. Basically you feel good because the duckling is able to eat the harmonious seeds stored within the vessel and transfer these positive energies into your body. You can have bad highs when this happens if the duckling awakens the serpent and it bites the duckling. The interesting part is when you ingest alcohol after THC because it floods the vessel and causes the serpent to fall into a deep sleep. The duckling never gets attacked by the serpent when this happens because it is unconscious and the duckling is actually able to get fat from the harmonious seed, which causes an enjoyable sensation.
