I like to make things, research things, and generally mess around. I also like esoteric things.

To help keep me motivated I named the little bird Ghost Bird. After the character in the Area X series. Because when I open it and I’m reminded of something I enjoy and that I am allowed to take time for things I enjoy.

I’m trying out the finch app to see if I can start trying to care for myself better and deal with my mental health struggles.
I’ve tried many things over the past 3 years when I really started to slide downhill. Nothing has stuck for more than a week.

I started a podcast with my husband. Where I talk his ear off about all the random things that fascinate me.

Told my husband today that the us government is nothing but wrestling Kayfabe. They all know they can’t break character ever, to the point it has become who they are.

You can buy it on Amazon if you search onion skin paper but there are other suppliers if you don’t like Amazon.

I saw the movie, and got all the books. I’m not big horror movie person but that movie was tragically beautiful. I wonder what Dead Astronauts would look like filmed that way, because that was my first introduction and I love it the setting and characters.

One of the most interesting things to me is how people constantly are pushing Mills. Platner has issues but he is speaking to the pain of the people of the state. Mills has issues but no one is looking at her policy or how she actually has behaved as gov because she stood up to trump once.

A field with bushes that the leaves are starting to turn red in the fire ground. It looks like white paint has been spread across for a poem to be placed over the image. It reads, would I recognize, if I found a sense of peace? After everything

I’ve seen it and know what it is, and I live and went to high school in the same county that he is in. Everything that has come out about him makes me question his intelligence and the intelligence of the team working with him.

A: "Hey, is everything Okay?"
B: "It's just... The Bone Farmer.. He Died

A: "He was that thing that would break into people's homes and steal their skeletons while they slept, right?"
B: "So Sad."

B: "I mean, obviously: Ideologically, I didn't agree with him. With regards to skeleton ownership. But his smart l'il bowtie!"
A: "You have to admire his tenacity for a cause he believed in!"

Geoff: "Gonna have tgo disagree with you folks here-"
A: "Too soon, Geoff!"

The Ellsworth Shaws at dusk, an eerie lack of people and cars, but the stores still glow as a sign they are open. Outside the building is being taken over by large black monsters that glow red, their bodies flow over the place like ooze. There is a sense they glitched into this quiet scene, but it’s not confirmed.

Everything looks flat
I feel nothing but numbness
Maybe I am dead

Centrism sells. Climate change is hard to grasp, voter fraud and trans health care can be framed as taking things away from people, vaccines as a violation of personal rights. And news papers exist to make money, so talking both sides sells more papers/ad space.

Even then, it depends on the purpose of the widget. Consumer safety and the move fast and break things model dont align well

Things have been rough mentally, to the point where tomorrow my therapist and I are gonna try EDMR to help me stop having panic attacks over everything.

A sketchbook page of seven different doodles. Top left: a square of rounded head little doodle dudes with a variation of facial expressions. Top middle: a checked pattern in the left, bleeding into a space full of circles, the big ones have faces in the center. Top Right: ghost shapes on the left making different faces and on the right there are tube pattern up the side at an asymmetric angle.
Middle: looks like little cells under a microscope with little faces instead of nuclei. Middle: a seaside landscape with an island slightly in the background. Think New England coast. Middle left: a crescent moon with a face with a star and planet with wings. 
Bottom right: little bean due sitting on a pile of books

Just some doodles. I am working on trying to fill the page.

A black and white ink drawing that has a diamond pattern on the left and a circle pattern in the right with the bigger circles having little faces in them, and surrounded by a striped circle pattern that is reminiscent of a life savior from a boat around their little blank faces.

Doodle day 2. I’m gonna try and keep this up but no promises. Doing long term commitments is too overwhelming with how I’m feeling right now

When I open threads I am mentally acknowledging that I am committing a form of self harm. I probably need to remove it from my phone. Because it’s so toxic and gets me so emotionally upset.

They do realize that’s close to 1% of the nation right? That’s a lot of people for a protest in this country. I don’t see how this isn’t important news to report on.

You have made it explicitly harder for me, a person who lives in your district. I am on SSI, and while the $80+ I’m gonna have to pay for the real ID is nothing to you, it’s is at minimum 10% of my monthly income. You have actively harmed many people.

I tried acrylic painting the other day, and I don’t know if it’s my depression or just that it’s been so long, but I hated what I made. I think it’s a combo of both.

Also, don’t forget how many of their staffers are homeschooled/religious private schools where they never experienced anything outside their bubble and can’t image the world is different than they were taught in these cloistered settings.

Kirby’s of different colors, done in the color of the trans flag, going blue, pink, white, pink, blue. Dancing on a cloud with the words trans rights in a star in the center
