We just published a really special episode of Altered States, yall.

It’s got music. It’s got psychedelics. It’s got history. It’s got science. (Heck, it’s science history!) What more could you possibly want?

The 2nd project involved adding an adjustable drafting desk tabletop to my art desk.

I dreamed this up a while ago and although It’s not a perfect job, it absolutely works.

All very simple. Just pocket hole joinery. I might hide the holes and the screws later… but for now it’s functional and doesn’t look half bad.

The first project was this side table, to house my flatbed scanner. I use the scanner to scan my line art before I color it digitally and I needed a side table that I could wheel out to my computer. I also added a nook where I can charge devices and keep them out of view.

Completed my first (very simple) woodworking projects this past week, and I’m pleased as punch. Both projects were designed to make my life easier as an artist.

Also, this seems like a good time to mention that I'm a freelance podcast host (with years of experience making and hosting critically-acclaimed shows), and I'm always open to discussing new projects. So hit me up if you think I might be a good fit.

Arielle Duhaime-Ross @adrs.bsky.social · 21d

Excited to announce that Season 2 of Altered States begins next week!

This season we're examining the spiritual side of psychedelics, and how that side has been interacting with the more science-oriented side of psychedelics. In other words: This is gonna be good.

And btw, the trailer for this season is EXTREMELY good. This is definitely one of the best podcast trailers I've ever been a part of... which bodes very well for the season ahead!

Thanks for making this possible @prx.org @scipsychedelics.bsky.social

And yes, I was the last Black full-time columnist in the Opinion section.

Washington Post -- operating in a city which for a long time has been majority Black, is now without any full-time Black opinion writers.

You’re completely right about the word disease. I was falling asleep when I wrote that. My apologies for that one.
