I remember seeing him on Third Rock and thinking he was a rather um interesting teen, which I found a bit disconcerting. That said, I’m very much into grown ass men and also thought, I bet he’s going to be a very cool guy in a few years and I wasn’t wrong. Grew up to be creative, talented, funny, smart and weird in…

Ok, I had the Alfred Hitchcock Birds experience with flying cockroaches. Came back to the south to visit friends, and was staying with a pal in her very clean home. Her attached garage has the washer and dryer, and I was switching a load over. It was late night and I switched on the light and started moving things and…

...snogging on a beach rock, paparazzi ‘bout to come

(tunes guitar, swings flawless blond bob back, purses red lips., strums jauntily, sings brightly, blandly and sweetly, with just a touch of anger)

Atta Girlfrieeeend! Now (*whips out guitar*) let’s go write a song about how we’re better than them.

there’s a special place in hell for haters that resist the Swift

I don’t mind looking like a hippie, because I’m probably one. I’m finding jean shopping generally torture though, and just not into wearing them all that often anymore unless it’s very cold out and I need a pair or two of some heavy duty ones for commuting and childcare work.. Otherwise I prefer dresses, leggings,…

Back in the 90s I had flares, but they weren’t ridiculously wide. The only jeans I’d wear in the summertime..they were of the thinnest and stretchiest denim and still let some air in from the bottom. Perfect rise, just below the belly button but had a drawstring so you could get them where you liked them. They looked…

As an artist I’m mixed on all this. In one way he has my respect that he keeps working at something he professes he loves and feels passionate about....especially when things can get deeply discouraging, and he’s been basically publicly humiliated. But yeah, as a teacher? I have more of an issue with that but…

This podcast deals with exactly that: destigmatization of mental illness.

I agree, the human figures are stiff looking. To be fair there’s a sculpted wildcat that works, seems to be made with a confident hand. I wonder if he gets hung up on the human forms that he gets very tentative and awkward.

That looks healthy and delicious, but the food styling is totally silly. That looks like a mass of stuff I’d put together and quite enjoy alone late night(substitute turkey burger for the hamburger) but nothing I’d photograph, play food jenga with, or feel compelled to share.

I think he’ll do a no-show, then host his own separate appearance where he can monologue and preach to his demented choir with impunity. Or just make out to third base with a bevy of beautiful American flags. On pay per view.

When I mean children, I mean emotionally. Their bodies are Old. Their dealing with disappointment is more of a toddler’s but with wider reaching destruction. Worst of both worlds. I think of the Paul Simon song “why am I so soft in the middle when the rest of my life is so hard”, but they lack any thoughtful, creative…

I also think they are bored children who are swayed by the romantic drama of apocalyptic dystopian narratives in movies, novels, comic books, etc. Watch it burn, play the role of the crowd in revolt. Now something is happening! Drama! Maybe their life is dragging along in their middling shit job (and the job sitch…

your friend is the living definition of “willful ignorance”

I think the idea is to break their dignity. Keeps them with low self esteem and desperation. Perfect candidates for unsustainable minimum wage jobs and they can fill in the inevitable debt gaps with predatory payday loans, which will cause a bounced check cycle (or perhaps more petty crime like more shoplifting) and…

I’m an artist. Had a bf who was one too. Sometimes to switch things up/unwind instead of being cooped up at home, I’d make loose, stream of consciousness type ink drawings at coffeehouses (or even pubs) by myself or with friends doing the same. The bf would hear my plans, and for some bizarre reason, convince me to…

Two of the daughters from the family have defected. They are born again in a new empathetic, compassionate and rational mindset. Worth a follow on twitter, where both pinned the story of their conversion on the top of their pages. I’m glad they managed to do it while they are still young and hopefully have a full life…

wait, what? (goes off to google..)
