iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

sometimes i feel like i betray my community because i feel safer with a bunch of str8 men talking tats and cars than i do with cis gay men who hang out in bars where trans/fem people are unwelcome, who won't question or acknowledge my issues with those spaces

Rules: Scratch a conspiracy theorist long enough, and you will find an anti-semite Scratch a homophobe, and you will find a misogynist Scratch a transphobe, and you will find the misogynist, but also quite often, a racist

Why do nerds forget that someone not liking the same media as you is NOT a personal insult or attack?

Real talk: total strangers who tag, message, or reply me begging for money, and/or to use my account to get money, get blocked. I do not trust you. We are not family or friends. That is NOT how community works. "Hey total stranger who is involved, let me use your popularity!" Sorry.

seriously where is all this lustful inspiration when i have depression mcdowntime? Deadlines, pther things to focus on, poof, there it all is. Most of what's shown here is inside 72 hours of existence. I was under my own coffin last week.

piles of sketches, small paintings in various states, tubes of paint, transfer sheets, notebooks, pens, pencils, paintstained studio hardwood... a Hanes gold toe prooves the artist is humanoid, or at least, manifests in the physical realm enough to wear sockies

Kindle/Amazon are still apparently compensating my royalties for Canadian sales. So you can get the bad version of "Honor & Sacrifice", in Canada, and i get paid. As opposed to US sales. If you paid this, you can get the good version. Just msg or email me.

Watching "Chernobyl" while I finish this series of WWIII/apocalyptic themed Lost Pages & subsequent frames, and I must say, it presents quite the case study in "authoritarian assholes causing preventable harm to innocent people through refusing to listen to experts".

Got a call from my health insurance provider proving there is nothing personalized about their services whatsoever. (It was a "Schedule a free in home wellness exam today!" call. If I didn't do regular visits with UA screens, i couldn't get my necessary meds, which y'all pay for, so ... redundant?)

I generally depend on non-US sources for my US news these days, and one of the Korean papers I read refers to Greg Bovino as "Bobbino" and it's not just one typo, and while that is phonetically passable/understandable, I also find it hilarious, like a Jersey nickname. "'Ey, Bobbbbiiiiinoooooo!"

All my adult life, when i live alone, guests in my house will refer to the size of spoon i keep in my utensil drawer to feed myself as "baby spoons" and honestly, if i was actually as homicidal as exes claim, there'd be a lot more corpses. They're called teaspoons, you uncouth fucknobs.
