spontaneous trip to Avebury by way of an eBay purchase collection today. Things people had left as offerings in the holes (sadly I only have a photo of the beech nut because my phone died): -rose petals -a beech nut -one (1) green gummy bear and a bit bone (same hole) -sheep’s (?) eyeball
one of the stones at Avebury covered in cool yellow lichen making concentric circles and swirls

I moved here from the US 17 years ago and I am still stunned by this every year. (I had to get a light box, it helps.)

worked more on the self-portrait this week in class; it doesn’t feel finished but I also feel like I need to put it aside and let it marinate for a bit
portrait of the same guy from last week, this time with eyes painted in and big drama background

I saw this one in the wild in a kids’ toy display at a bougie garden centre over the weekend. It was bizarre.

was out shopping, there was a kid, maybe about 8. He points at some toy that looked like a knockoff of an OG game boy and he says “mom, is this what the game boy looked like that old people played?”

I mean, speaking from experience rabies vaxes are really not a good time, but I would still go to the ER or urgent care if you’ve been bit by a dog and you’re not sure about rabies status.

I read this as “ill-fated ticket” initially, like you were embarking on some sort of hero’s journey here

I know I’m not saying anything new here but this especially makes it so obvious to me that these guys just want to have a robot mom who does everything for them and gives them everything they want.

can’t stop thinking about Warrior with Cloak and Shield by Bharti Kher bhartikher.com/warrior-with...
A sculpture of a woman in pale beige tones.she is nude except for a pair of low heeled shoes. She has a large pair of handlers which reach down to her hips and her right hand is grasping one of the times. There is a piece of fabric hanging from the other handle . Her head and gaze look forward confidently. She has a banana leaf attached to her front coving much of her left side but her right breast is exposed.

personal artistic and anxiety milestone achieved: sketching in the sculpture gallery at the v&a a lady watched me drawing and smiled and that’s why I do this. Validation is nice but bringing joy to someone in this bleak existence is better

thinking about the magpie in the courtyard outside my window while I was recovering from top surgery, messily devouring an egg as I came to augury is what you make of it?

(we’re not Japanese, but my mom was really into Japanese and German literature; her PhD was in comparative literature and was about Kawabata and Hesse) I want to read it one day but I’m not ready yet. I know it will make me think of so many conversations with her that I can’t have now.

thinking about my mom, who used to attend tea ceremonies in NYC when I was really little and before I was born. This vessel was hers, and this little ritual I’ve made of making these arrangements feels like a nice way to honor her memory.

I like this one. as I’ve gotten older the transition from late summer to early autumn has really become my favorite time of year. I like berries. I like the autumn crocus’s unexpected echo (prophecy?) of spring.

the euphoria of having the right titty configuration (in my case the lack of) is so real. I want this for you ❤️ even when I am having shitty dark days despairing about existing as a trans person in this world, i take one look at my chest in the mirror & I’m still like “yeah this was a good call”

it warms my bitter old heart that despite quitting WoW five years ago and not raiding for probably twelve, apparently multiple people still see me as The Shen’Dralar Guy
