Anyway I’m sure it’ll improve after explaining to a bunch of deeply religious basically-strangers that yes, I am my mother’s first-born son, despite the tits

I really enjoy that every time I fly Delta they’ve figured out another way to punish poor people. Now it appears to be “flight has excessive overhead bin space, still gate checking everyone in poverty zones out of spite”

But it won’t pay the bills, and I know it.

the trip is 2,200 miles and I have a story planned because this is probably the last time I will get to tell a story for a very long while, given the general direction of our calamities as a nation, and I have to somehow find time to write it because I haven’t written anything nourishing in ages.

I’ve been packing or moving or unpacking for a week, today is mom’s wake, tomorrow is funeral, then I gotta go retrieve a car because if I wait longer, it’s going to snow the mountain passes shut, then when I get home I need to finish unpacking, build a desk for my computer, and then apply for jobs

I have been in “I just gotta get through today” mode for the past six days, if this does not stop soon my body is going to physically shut down and I will die. I almost passed out yesterday while sitting down for apparently no reason other than stress

Latest artwork. Marshals manoeuvring Alpine-Renault A110 into place at the start of the Gurston Down Hillclimb

Digital artwork showing a blue sportscar from the right, with three orange overall clad marshals holding it in place, in front of the starting hut, while a medic sitting on the ground watches. The timing beam apparatus sits on the ground just in front of the car. It’s a bright, sunny day with a few white clouds in the sky

Finished the MG artwork! I’m really happy with how it turned out, but it was a bit of a slog - nearly 15 and a half hours #DigitalArt

Made some adjustments to the ATR in the rain piece based on advice from the fine people of Bluesky. Any thoughts? #DigitalArt #AviationArt

I would go on vacations exclusively oriented around transit systems if I had even slightly more disposable income. I would learn the name of every ferry and long-haul train on this earth with more time
