I had never considered how important a bed in a shared bedroom was until I lived on an air mattress in someone's office: I scoffed and the world offered worse

"Witness" has become one of my favorite words recently.

I found myself remarking this piece of grafitti in a coffee shop bathroom the other day, wondering who the person was who wrote this, and what posessed them to commit their voice to the void this way.

Bathroom walls, Tenament Halls

My little grasp at control in life is giving people that I like in my phone silly names like "Gergo Washingtmachine" or "Fried Air",
While people I dislike get the government name

I have learned that right now, and probably always, life has a flow, and I am far happier when I am in that flow.
Funny enough, I feel that flow comes from my heart. It certainly encourages making myself queerer

I've gone back to a career I hated. I'm going to see if it paying well enough for me to live on my own is enough to justify feeling like I'm betraying every promise I made to myself for a year and a half

if you're not fair to yourself, how can you be fair to anyone you know?

A stumble can feel like failure, but you never lose everything.

Pride was incredible. I cannot describe how good it was, only that I felt truly alive and among my own people for the first time in my life. I was always a social paraiah in my life, but now I am home.

For Enby day 2025, my official gay card. Given to me by a new friend of mine

An incredible evening. The anniversary of stonewall and an excellent pride party.

yeah i love waymo, way mo immigrants coming to my city

Like yep, I live here, I ain’t moving, couldn’t move even if I wanted to, but holy shit, the idea of being patriotic for this place gets more laughable with each new day

In a stroke of pure happenstance, I was invited into the piston powered autorama's artist alley today. I ended up making this panel for the charity auction. A very great experience and a needed moment of relaxation

I have enjoyed getting one final winter,
Now I am ready for it to be done. I am complete :)
I don't need any more snow for a few years

Honestly I can't put into words how beautiful mountains are. People in ohio talk about how big the "mountains" are here but they're barely even a hill, lol. Need more mountains in my life.

well, it survived. It's got some wrinkles around the edges and in the middle still, but it is presentable. I gave it roughly two and a half months and it did eventually cure with no hardener in the clear coat. Not too shabby

grabbed this shot of a tree at my apartment block the refuses to lose its color even despite the winter taking all the other trees' leaves. I could grapple with symbolism to write but I'd rather anyone reading this takes their own meaning from it

I'm posting this to set up a date of when it finally hardens. The clear coat has zero hardener in it and it gets to go in a closet for a few months while it firms up. Here's hoping it stays good!
(panel was airbrushed and pinstriped)
