A study of a few different drawings from one of my favorite movies: Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind
I tried to have him sit apart from the men, based on how he felt separated from the enlisted men. Also no, he didn't write it the trenches, just some artistic liberty.
Edit, updated with the marker version
A picture of a chibi witch trying to read a textbook called "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" with a confused face. The caption underneath says, 'The "Wizard" book?'
Whew, first time watercoloring in a long time! Next one will be better!
"It doesn’t make sense for chocolate bars to be divided into equal-sized chunks when there is so much inequality in the chocolate industry! The unequally-sized chunks of our 6.35 oz bars are a palatable way of reminding Choco Fans and Serious Friends that the profits in the chocolate industry are unequally divided.
And in case you haven’t noticed, the bottom of our bars depicts the West African coastline. The chunks just above it represent the Gulf of Guinea. From left to right, you have Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin (terribly politically incorrect, we know, but we had to combine them to create enough space for a hazelnut), Nigeria and part of Cameroon."
This article feels like it was written by an old man yelling at clouds. "... Back in my day we smoked mid and we liked it" shakes fist and then uses it as a reason to go back to prohibition. Why can't we just make it legal and let the free market figure it out.
Turns out more THC for the buck means people can make a few months supply of edibles out of a few grams. Cost effective!
I know a Thomas too! He's the straight cis eye of a queer hurricane. And it wasn't always this way, he just keeps pulling folks into his massive orbit. Folks who later realize they are queer. He never brings it up or even seems to notice.
I finally realized what's going on and it's just a little weird. Like, what the hell is going on? Do my friends even have free will?! Do I?!
I conclude that Thomas has such a pure heart and loves so freely that he innervates people with restless souls. They/we are drawn to this vibe like planets in his solar orbit.
I should write him a poem about this
Thomas' pure heart
Orbit for expanding souls
A queer hurricane
I listened to it while lifting, and now every time I lift while listening to something else I'm like "ugh this book is fine but it's no Silmarillion"
I've listened to dozens of great books at the gym, but there's only two I've wanted to listen to a second time: Silmarillion and Norse Mythology by Neil Gaimon
There's just such a vibe to those books. The stories are short, but they feel ancient. I feel rooted when I listen to them.
That and when I'm trying to fall asleep and it's winter. I'm cozy and feeling the hygge. I've got my warm drink and blankets and I want a bedtime story of how Morgoth was cast down
Hey now there's nothing weird about being completely unable to focus under fluorescent lights.
Chainsaw and a skylight. A big one too, like one of these
And yeah, yeah, I've heard they are a pain to maintain and break easily. I don't care, I'll fix it every week if that means I get a balcony and fresh air every day.
Also I don't like how they indicated his thighs, it's somehow both testicular and vulvic
Schrodinger's groin
I find it deeply unsettling
I really should mark this nsfw
"and then we told them, everyone getting to vote isn't a fair election"
"And then we told them, we only hate trans people, not gays and blacks"
"And then we told them, deregulation frees billionaires to take care of the planet more efficiently"
"And then we told them, school shootings are caused by not enough guns in schools"
The relief of not needing to mask anymore hits hard
