A big rubber band, about 4 feet in diameter and a little less than an inch wide.
I know I don’t *need* an 4-foot rubber band, but some part of my soul really wants that 4-foot rubber band.
can we have a little excommunication as a treat
Again, if you have a Substack, the best time to switch away was months ago -- but today's the second best time.
WHY ARE YOU STILL ON SUBSTACK.
if you're a big creator particularly, you will legit make more money on beehiv. and you won't be asking your readers to pay revenue to a site that promotes literal sex traffickers and pushes Nazi content to your goddamn phone.
i'm gonna lose my mind

Saw a spider on the wall and I don’t know where it went and now I want to pull the bed out into the middle of the room so nothing touches the wall and yes I know about the floor but I’ve been sick for four days and I’m so tired and there was a spider on the wall and I don’t know where it went.
From Merriam-Webster: Merriam-Webster Definition spandex Did you know? Example! • Did you know? Spandex is a fiber that has had an impact on fashion high and low, casual and formal, outer and under. It's not a trademark, as a number of the names of other fibers are, among them Dacron, Lycra, and Orlon. It's a generic term, coined in 1959 as an anagram of the word expands. Anagrammatic coinages are not common; the only other in our dictionaries that the average person is likely to be familiar with is sideburns. Sideburns is an anagram (and synonym) of burnsides, from Ambrose E. Burnside, a Union general in the American Civil War credited with originating the fashion (in the U.S., at least) also known as side-whiskers.
Omg. Spandex is an anagram for expands.
Of The Empire We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness. - Mary Oliver
God this poem is haunting me again.
Why would I use "AI," I actually know how to fucking write

Calling on my ancestors for guidance but the only one who answers is a weird eutherian rodent-mammal from the early cretaceous period. "EAT BERRY SLEEP UNDER ROCK" it says. Pretty good advice
DO THE HUSTLE!!
One thing Donald Trump’s presidency should do for YOU is get rid of your imposter syndrome because if that silly potato faced nepo baby can think he’s highly intelligent and handsome and brilliant, you do not need to have imposter syndrome ever again.

Hey @trahan.house.gov articles of impeachment Monday and every day or get out of that office for someone who will! Looking at you too endorses-a-misogynist-nazi @warren.senate.gov get the fuck to work or get the fuck out.
Today I want to share a few works that feel especially classic and interesting to me.

Take things with balance and ease, and don’t forget to come take a look at these line art cats 😊 #shouxinsketch

Warren.
What are *you* doing? Remember the line “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time”? Platner had it tattooed on his chest. This endorsement is a betrayal of so many who believed that you were on the right side of history.
Sad and angry that I can no longer vote for @warren.senate.gov, as I don’t vote for people who endorse Nazis. Even if one doesn’t think the MAN WITH THE NAZI TATTOO is a Nazi—you know what, I got nothing. Shame on you, @warren.senate.gov. I expected better. Maybe that just means shame on me.
I needed a hint for that same clue—I don’t think that was the only option.

Been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately, so it feels like a good time to share my painting "Steady".
