It's the #conflict That draws one in And turns the journey Into a story Art intimates life And interesting times Are full of stories Weaving the age From disparate threads Show me, then The monsters, and The ways that We defeat them Show me the victory Of finding beauty In the scrum #vss365

“Why don’t you just lodge a complaint?” This is why. Retaliation in healthcare settings is real. When you’re in the hospital, you give up all control. You’re at the mercy of staff. If you anger someone, your care can change and in rare cases… it’s deadly.

This one was also technically a commission. But they told me to literally paint whatever I want. 2011 Mixed media acrylic on canvas

Illustrative painting of two women with curly hair wearing gas masks but posed as if they are kissing. They are surrounded by explosions of color like firework sparks almost as if they are born of them.

Is it a warning sign Or a death knell? Sacrifical Corporate cogs Grinding Down to dust Too drained to be #empathetic Bodies break In slow mo Each loss A spark Self-immolating To meet basic needs As burnout robs us Of capacity to resist A rigged game If you can get it Rest is resistance #vss365

The moths came with the towels. So small, I squished them by mistake, drying my hands on the #towel. Dusty death. Then came the holes, not only in clothes. Each night when I closed my eyes, I felt a gnawing on the fabric of my mind. I awoke robbed of I knew not what. Hazy, lacy, lost. #vss365

Best friends need not match, or even rhyme, to find a home in one another. Admo, the satyr, was given to frolic with nymphs, and drink with Dionysus. Bon vivant, through and through. His friend, meanwhile, plodded, rather than frolicked, and insisted the nymphs drink water, too. #vss365 #frolic

I don't trust this mind Limned in hazy light Defiant fog Too oft lost in the mirage Of cognitive constraints I build walls Lock myself within Fractured memories Fairy tale frailties The beauty and the curse Am I the villain The sleeper The hero Or the end? Are myths remixed Worth remembering?

He knew that could make it, at least he thought he could. He ran, he jumped, and it seemed the other side was moving. Away from his flailing arms, away from his survival. He never felt like he was #falling, he felt like he was flying. He just didn't know how to land. #vss365 #adhdwriters

We remember the feeling of #falling. Of absence. Lost in the great dysjunction, we no longer heard the music of all things. We live in the dark. Cradled by the pressure of the water. Seared by infernal sea vents. Waiting. But the time of inversion comes, and the reclamation of our wings. #vss365

Be wary of a #midnight stranger stalking the liminal, waiting for their prey. He offered me food, but I said nay. He offered me drink but I had no wish to stay. This unpleasant pedant sporting pomegranates then inquired after my name. Was he fae? I brandished my 5 iron and walked away. #vss365

You linger like a memory of a melody in the dusky hues of an old gin joint, your cathedral, moving like a breeze through dandelions while the light paints a muse in black and white. It's diffuse, light. Splits the world in two, a #rift between what was before and what it is since I met you. #vss365

For the three other people that will find this funny.

What appears to be an in-game screenshot from Morrowind (2002) in a first-person perspective. A low-polygon man with long hair, a black band T-shirt that says "Tool" and blue jeans squats in a river in the rain. At the top of the screen is the subtitles "No. The frequencies hit different in here." At the bottom of the screen is the quest dialogue "Objective failed: Convince Tool fan to leave the water (0/1)." Behind the man are massive leafy trees and mushrooms, and a flying pterodactyl creature. The river fades into the foggy distance. Also at the bottom of the screen, slightly cropped out are the standard HUD elements: the health, magicka, and stamina bars, the equipped item slot (currently empty) and the player character's raised gloved right hand.

The #Warhammer40k #DarkHeresy Beta begins today! I played 2 runs of the Dark Heresy Alpha in December and loved the blend of tactical CRPG mechanics and Alan Wake-style mystery investigation. Trailer: youtu.be/KVqOfHFJQFA?... I'm an Acolyte of the Inquisition, but I'm romancing a Kroot this run.

A fatal state of limerence feels like a #betrayal. You don't see the clay feet when you put me up on a pedestal. I'm just a rock in that cave you're living in. You light a fire, see the shadows on my face, and make of them what you may. Projections miss reality. Clay breaks and so do we. #vss365
