I’ve put together my new favourite inking tools. I have some open slots for commissions. I love to work on projects that remind you of old fairy tales.

An update on my quest to create a home for our Black Palestinian folk saint whose shrine was destroyed. I have found a wooden keepsake box with a tree carved on it. Saints were said to live in old trees, and a sacred tree was usually part of the makam complex.

I need help. The short version is that I’ll need to come up with an extra $70 CND every month for the foreseeable future. The long version is that this is an arrangement with the landlord and there really aren’t any other options left with my resources. Any ideas, or leads on jobs, are appreciated.

The Free Press bravely challenging the orthodox belief that film criticism should involve watching the film.

A headline from Bari Weiss’s The Free [sic] Press:

“Hold Your Applause for the New Gaza Documentary

There may yet be hard truths in 'NAZA,' including evidence of Israel's systemic failures. But the reporting around it treats flimsy claims as proof of criminality.”

First line: “i haven't seen the film,”

It's really really difficult to see what's happening to you from inside your own life. You can't tell that you're being coarsened until you leave an environment that is key to making you more coarse. That's my experience at least.

The other day I took part in a discussion re theism and atheism, the decisions that brought one from one to the other (and possibly back again). The comments were full of atheists offended at the idea that they did any introspection about this. A few claimed they were so from birth. Bizarre.

As a former pretentious little shit who grew out of it, rationalists (et al) annoy the piss out of me because they are adults with the mentality of tweens - they are somehow still convinced they are the greatest geniuses who have ever walked the earth. It is the worldview of an arrogant baby.
