Depression lies to you. It tells you you’re not enough… not strong enough, not worthy enough, not worth the effort.

#Sobriety strips away the noise and forces me to see clearly.

It isn’t just about staying sober. It’s learning to believe I deserve to be me.

Somewhat... i think... <checks pulse>... for the moment at least!

adulting is overrated!

@moderation.bsky.app - this is really not a "flaggable" image in the least bit. It is a cartoon of a person doing laundry.... and a way to illustrate a humorous anecdote, not a suggestive image at all!

And this gets labeled for suggestive content…. Hah!

Someday I’m going to get the hang of being an adult.

That day is not today.

When you’ve put off doing your laundry for so long that you end up washing clothes in your swimsuit… because that’s all you’ve got left…

You may need to learn how to manage your life better.

The cat in the window made me squeal with happiness…. That’s about the best praise I can give!!

Who I see in the mirror questions the person I feel like I am on the inside.

I’m still on a journey to accept reality, not the world where my thoughts and actions are suspect.

I know I’m making progress… I just wish I could feel it more.

This is truly beautiful…

LJ: Talk to women like human beings.
Men: But how are they going to know we’re the uber alpha ultimate extreme macho male?
LJ: …or you could just shut the fuck up.

Once you go Bach... you never go back!
Get good... but have fun! That is always the most important thing... remember... this is for enjoyment, not punishment!

In general, I prefer Bach and Shostakovich… they are both technically challenging and musically amazing… but there’s other not so well known composers like Lutoslawski and Piatti… but some of that gets pretty crazy!
Who are your favorites as a pianist?

I had to do a month long digital detox to step back from the glaring signs of addiction.
It was ruining what serenity I could gather in these… messed up… times.
To me, the symptoms manifest themselves in the same way as my other addictions… I’m just not ready to quit this one just yet.

It’s like the meanest among us has taken their cues from our leader (and his minions) that being the worst person you can be is somehow acceptable these days.
On so many levels… my home has changed right before my eyes…. in so many ways it’s unrecognizable to before…

Truth: My pussy certainly demands a cup of coffee before she does anything...

I love the convergence of other disciplines and my own. To me, other fields hold a fantastic wealth of ideas that I can extrapolate and change to fit my own.
There are many ways to do things... if we only open our minds!

I never thought I would say these words.. her eyes in the gasmask are so intense... I LOVE THIS!

I was laughing.. it looks like you've transported to the nude homeworld... all beach and clothing not required!

can you show me where to stand so I can get teleported there too???

it really looks like you've transported to another world...

When a guy tells me he can "go deep" I always doubt it... if he leads with that, he's probably not "well endowed" where it counts...
Thinking deeply can be one of the most erotic things you can do!
When a guy thinks deeply enough... it can feel it in my... head.

Funny enough, it actually is! we intuitively do this when we think about things on a big scale... how it affects the world... and a small scale.. how it affects us... at almost the same time...
see! engineering can be fun!

Thank you!!!!

Who’s ready to chat about multiscale recursive micromechanics?
Come on… it’s actually easier than you think!

She takes it… just to please you.

As a (deeply) criminal friend of mine often says “nothing is illegal if there’s no one who will enforce the law”
Internally or externally… sadly for us… no one is going to do it…
Pessimism is strong with me.
Neither he nor his cohorts will ever face consequences.
And that’s where we are… in history

Insomnia is great #inspiration.
Why is it that my greatest ideas come to me at midnight… right when I want to go to sleep.
The mind works in mysterious… and sometimes quite annoying… ways!
Just when I lay down, I came up with a solution to a problem that’s been on my mind for weeks!

#quiet #peace

That’s what I call “hot water”!! :-)

Time for your birthday spanking… :-)

Ummm… it’s even kind of shooting it’s… ummm… cloud…

Social Media…

Did it spark joy?

It sparked anxiety, comparison, and a rabbit hole about people I don’t even like.

I’m not dead, just detoxed on (some of) the insanity that life brings.

Sorry that I disappeared so quickly… it just got too much.
