If you're one of those artists that collect reference photos to work from, I have a grip of sets for sale. Half of the sale goes back to the model. www.patreon.com/collection/2...

I mean this with all kindness- if you are not actually in danger, stewing over fear is not going to lead to you having a safer, freer or more beautiful life. It is going to make you a mark for conmen. If you do have multigenerational trauma, like so many of us do, the answer is trying to treat it

From what I've observed, they're more afraid of the incredibly strong sense of community you'll find among those of a Muslim background. They practice what they preach tenfold over what you'll find in a modern Christian.

There is nothing like watching standup comedy live that makes me think I can do standup comedy live.

At some point I wound up on a recruiter list for software engineering, which I know nothing about. I will now start responding to all of them in a sadistic manner.

One of the first "Southern Heat" kind of days so far this year in Asheville. I'm sure it's warmer somewhere else, but my old ass runs hot and I ain't much for nothing past 75 degrees.

Art is not a luxury. Dreams are not a distraction. Pleasure is not an indulgence. They're all natural human needs no less than food and shelter. You deserve them all, and in abundance!

Just saw 30 people in the ACE parking lot waiting to get their propane tanks filled. Asheville is not messing around with this storm. Hurricane PTSD is very much unresolved around here.

Asheville is still looking kinda rough. The rebuild is slow and seems to be getting slower.
