Grieve AND organize.
Good article by David Hunter on how to survive the Trump presidency, both on the personal and on the political plane.
This is an excellent article. It talks about the psychology of tyranny, the history of resistance and the paths we have to take to rescue each other and recover.

Favorite color: Yes. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, even purple in certain situations; but also brown, black, white, gold... I just really like colors, lmao. I mean, scroll through this blog, look at my art and the colors I've chosen for my various graphics over the years! All over the place, but never boring.
Last song: This is the part where I have to admit that I was listening to a compilation of Pokemon anime openings while working on stuff. My music taste is usually really niche and cool as shit, and THIS is what you catch me listening to! *throws up arms in mock despair*
Currently reading: "Heavenly Bodies: Cult Treasures and Spectacular Saints from the Catacombs" by Paul Koudounaris. It's a gorgeous photographical trek through a very, VERY interesting collection of largely early-baroque ornamented skeletal relics. I'm so glad I have a fun (if macabre) answer to this one!
Currently watching: Good question! I mean, latently Emergency! as per usual (weekly episode watch in the E! discord and all that! Plus the occasional bit of research or fandom shenaniganery), but I've also had a lot of Time Team and Mythbusters running in the background. Also, Grey's Anatomy with @evilsilence (where I mostly get my kicks complaining about everyone's love life and piss-poor life choices). Also technically Guardian (the C-Drama) and Miss Fisher with @crystalinn, but we haven't gotten around to either in a hot second.
Currently craving: Less humidity in this goddamn place, my hands keep feeling sticky but I can't turn on the dehumidifier because that'd take this room from "comfortably quite warm" to "uncomfortably boiling".
Coffee or tea: Yes please! In that order, or any other. I'll also take pretty much every kind of either.
No-pressure, very-chill tags: Kristen, Void, I've already pinged both of you, so feel very tagged! Also, @hitchcock-winter if you feel like it, @unwittingcatalyst if you ever check your tumblr notes, @rosesonneptune (hi, @/guardevoir here, in case you're confused). Also anyone else who feels like doing this!
Thanks, Guardy, for the tag!
Favorite color: Blues—light and dark and sparkly and shading to turquoise and sky and next to browns and beiges and white. Also, the specific sparkly bright light brown/pink/orange of low fire red micaceous clay.
Last song: Well, a recent one off my regular playlist, anyway: “Morning Song” by Zero 7.
Currently reading: An Emergency! fic work in progress of mine that I think I last worked on in summer 2023, which I’m hoping to put finishing touches on for Summer of 51s 2024. Also, generally, fanfic.
Currently watching: Besides episode watch E! episodes, the occasional Gokaiger ep. My son and I have plans for a Lower Decks marathon at an indeterminate time.
Currently craving: Energy to do things. Peace. Healing. The feeling I get when I can do or make things (pottery, writing, improv).
Coffee or tea: Of course. Coffee with sugar and soy milk, cold. Mochas at coffee shops. Ginger tea and green tea and all sorts of teas.
And, to play this game right, I'll tag a couple folks--no worries if you aren't inclined to do it: @sevenmaryseven, @becauseitallmatters
100 days of art, 64/100.
Drew @unwittingcatalyst's DnD character (one of them, anyway) as a birthday present!
Getting the facial expression right was a challenge, but also very worth it. Plus, I learned a lot!
The author reveal will be next Saturday at 8:30 pm Eastern (or thereabouts).
Thanks Biden!!
"Stop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, they're 15" this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit
To wit:
I want to share some wisdom from my high school art teacher.
In my AP Art class, there was a girl who was just starting to experiment with mixed media. At this point she was still playing around, trying to decide what direction she wanted to go with her portfolio. So one critique day, she brought in an abstract canvas with some rhinestone highlights and painted and real peacock feathers. She loved sparkles and peacock feathers so she thought she’d try introducing them a *little*. And after everyone had given some input, the teacher gave her his advice, VERY roughly paraphrased here:
“So here’s the thing… I do not like this style. These are just elements that do not speak to me personally, but I see that you like them, and you’re doing interesting things with them.
“My biggest critique is, I only merely *dislike* this piece. I want you to make me HATE it. Go crazy with the things that you like. Don’t hold back trying to make it palatable to people like me. Because I am NEVER going to like it. And if the audience does not like it, it should drive them crazy seeing how much YOU love it.”
Her portfolio was chock full of neon colors and glitter and rhinestones and splashes of peacock feathers and it was a delight. Our teacher despised every piece lol, but she got great marks and I think even won some awards. And more importantly, she was happy and proud of the results. Because she didn’t limit herself by trying to appeal to people who were never going to enjoy what she enjoyed.
Takeaway here: be as cringe as you want. Don’t limit yourself based on other ppl’s tastes. They’re not you, and you are incredible 💕
