These are part of my new "abstract life" collection. So far the pieces in this collection have had more social engagement than anything I have created to date. No sales yet, but I am very hopeful. Each piece in the collection is a 3/3. objkt.com/explore/toke...

I am just curious... if 2/3 of people tilt their heads to the right when they kiss... doesn't that mean 2/3 of people kiss the other 1/3 of people? Otherwise how are they kissing each other?

4 hours left in my tezos aution. Current bid is 5 XTZ. Piece created in GIMP. Title: AI BOY objkt.com/auction/e/Rm...

AI Boy is an image of a robot with a round head and entanaes coming out of the top. It has big round eyes. The ears, and the whole robot, has a yellowish orage color, the ears have wires attaching the head to the rest of the body. The entire image is overlayed on a greenish colored abstract that looks like digital tree bark.

I'm poor. Like REALLY fscking poor. But I don't sit around on the interest begging random people, friends or strangers, for money. I create art and beg people to buy that. Same results, but one makes me feel like I am doing something, the other makes me feel like a beggar. opensea.io/brucebates

The only person it will ever have any effect on is the person who opts to get, or not, the vaccine. No other person is affected by this choice except the individual.

010

Bruce Bates @brucebates.bsky.social · 01/09/2023

The only thing the vaccine does is prevent the person who receives it, from getting the worst of symptoms (which may include death). As such, there is literally no reason to harass, belittle, or even discuss if someone did or did not get the vaccine.

Bruce Bates @brucebates.bsky.social · 01/09/2023

The covid vaccine does not stop the spread of Covid. It does not prevent a person from either catching or passing on covid. People who are vaccinated can get and spread the virus to others just as fast as the unvaccinated.

And of course, there is the added anxiety of... we can't afford for him to live with us... but gotta do what I gotta do to keep my kid safe. /end

Bruce Bates @brucebates.bsky.social · 29/08/2023

I could take a full xanny bar and it have literally 0 effect on my anxiety right now. Usually when it gets this bad... I land in a hospital with IV drugs to get me out of the attack. Not sure i have time for that until after he gets here though.

Bruce Bates @brucebates.bsky.social · 29/08/2023

Anyways... about an hour later... we decide... this is not a safe environment, so he is coming out on thursday. None the less... my anxiety... is exploding. I want to go to NY and find some mfers and whoop some asses. Even a day later my anxiety is out of this world uncontrollable.

Bruce Bates @brucebates.bsky.social · 29/08/2023

I should probably explain, my son, is trans. I suppose calling him my son is technically inorrect at this point but all he has really told me is "he doesn't think he is a boy" but isn't sure what he is. So I still say he.

Bruce Bates @brucebates.bsky.social · 29/08/2023

My kid is 20 and works at a convent store... not a bad job for a 20 year old just starting out in life... It just kept going and going... for at least 20 minutes. I tell me kid... put me on speaker phone. He says no. I said... put me on speak phone NOW. And he hung up on me.

Bruce Bates @brucebates.bsky.social · 29/08/2023

he enters where he lives now - he rents a room - when he is literally verbally assaulted in the most BRUTAL way by other people that live in the house They are screaming that he is a creepy person and a scum bag. That he is loser who is always going to be a loser working as a gas station attendant.

Bruce Bates @brucebates.bsky.social · 29/08/2023

I am in a very bad place today. My anxiety is off the hook crazy. So yesterday, I was on the phone with my youngest (who is 20) making plans for them to come live with me. The plan was for him to come out on the 10th of next month - so two weeks. Well I am talking to him on the phone, when ....

If you are not happy right now... That's actually normal. You should exist for the most part simply content in life. Happiness and sadness are moments that happen, not states of mind you are intended to stay in. You know who tries to stay constantly happy? Drug addicts.
