Honestly I don’t really have that much to say today. Just kicking back, making coffee, editing photos, talking to some cool people who are in town for the Cannabis Conference and looking forward to weekend 2 of Coachella! I went to weekend 1, I won’t be attending this weekend but I will be enjoying myself as much! I can stream the performances, kick back and have a good time. I may also…
At this time of year, everyone focuses on how you should be thankful for the good things in your life. However, a lot of people stop at the thinking – they don’t actually go about giving thanks to the people who’ve earned it. So this Thanksgiving, why don’t you go ahead and give your thanks to the following people:
• Your teachers. The people who have shown you how to do something and improve yourself deserve some recognition. They have made you a better person by offering their time, effort and guidance. Make sure they know that you appreciate that.
• Your family. They probably drive you nuts a lot of the time, but you make them a little crazy too. These people have been there for you your whole life, making sure you didn’t do anything too too stupid. Give them thanks – they’ve earned it.
• Your friends. It’s easy to take your friends for granted, but they really don’t have to be there. They go out of their way to make sure you’ve got everything you need, whether that’s a gallon of ice cream or a road trip the beach.
• Your coaches. Nobody has pushed you harder and further, which is why you’re the person you are today. They always knew you had it in you to be better, faster, stronger, so they helped you get there. Reward their faith with your thanks.
Short Prompt #789
CW: emotional breakdown, neglect/lack of support.
“I’m under too much pressure! I can’t handle this stress!” - the hero exclaimed, tugging at their hair as their breathing began to grow shallow.
Their mentor scoffed. “Stress? What stress? You don’t know what real stress looks like.”
Hero felt something ache inside their chest, tears brimming in their eyes at Mentor’s words. They wanted to argue, to yell, but didn’t have the strength.
So the hero simply ran.
❤️ A very special #Boneyard #Birthday shout-out goes out to my former boss man and #Mentor in the #ComicsIndustry, spiritual #BigBrother, and (most importantly) my friend, the “#MostDangerousManInComics” himself- #HartFisher/@hartd.fisher! I hope you’re having a howling good time in the hot-tub and singing all your favorite #karoake tunes, big bro! Sending my love and good vibes from afar! Love ya, Hart!

CW: The Disapproval of an Authority Figure
“So,” Mentor said, way too calmly. “Explain?”
The three heroes in training standing before Mentor’s desk exchanged mildly panicked looks. The telekinetic cleared their throat. “Well. Sir. TikTok is a social media platform focused on shared short videos-”
“I know what TikTok is!” Mentor rubbed their eyes. “HR explained it to me at great length this morning when they told me I had to come in on my Saturday off. Do you know how rarely I get a Saturday off?”
“No,” whispered the teleporter, staring at their shoes and already tearing up.
“Then here’s an easier question.” Mentor slammed their hands on the desk. All three trainees jumped. “What were you three idiots thinking!? Filming yourselves inside the training facility?”
The telepath raised a hand and tried for a big smile. “Sir, I would argue we were taking initiative! As per the public relations part of our training we are advised- nay, compelled! to present a friendly and approachable persona to better build trust for when our professional activities bring us in contact with the public!”
“Building trust in your professional activities?” Mentor repeated. They spun the computer screen around.
Once again, all four watched the 11 second clip of telepath squawking like a chicken as they backflipped 30 feet from the gymnasium scaffolding into the pool, from which the teleporter erupted, froggy kicking straight up into the air, while the telekinetic ran back and forth across the top of the water, howling like a banshee.
The video cut, leaving the office in silence.
“There are some where we participate in popular dance trends,” the telepath said brightly.
“Do you know how many villains have tried to get inside info on our programs? On our students?” Mentor yelled. “And here you three are broadcasting to the world!”
The teleporter overflowed with tears. “I wouldn’t say we were sharing actionable intelligence,” the telekinetic protested.
“Oh, I’m not seeing any intelligence at all.” Mentor spun their computer screen back around and started typing. “You three are on KP duty for a year. Two months for this little stunt. Ten months because now HR tells me I have to write a social media policy.”
The telepath raised a hand. “Perhaps - maybeinexchangeforlesskitchenduty - we could assist you with writing that policy, sir?”
“Yeah, sure!” the Mentor drawled. “Here’s what I got so far - whaddya think?”
They turned the screen again. It was a Word document that said, in 72 point font, DON’T. The telepath gulped.
“Now get out!”
The trainees scattered. Mentor waited until they heard the interior and exterior doors bang shut, all three fully clear. Only then did they pull the archived videos back up and sat back to watch them all again. The HR department was taking votes on the best ones, and the other teachers were arguing on their favorites.
“Kids,” Mentor chuckled. “Where do they come up with this stuff?”

How does one go about getting a mentor? I would love the advice and friendship/support of an older woman established in my field who can give me wisdom.
Does anybody even have them anymore?

The new works by Yannick Val Gesto are more personal than ever. Val Gesto became known for his work on internet culture, in which he appropriated and reworked deviant art and game aesthetics. As data anthropologist of sorts, he roamed the internet for material, with a special preference for game culture, memes and ‘deviant art’ found on forums and message boards. Many of his works are a testimony to the richness of internet culture, the radical democracy –or anarchy– of the medium, full of rough diamonds, and its non-hierarchical amalgam of creative expressions.
Val Gesto’s work has always been characterized by both information overload, and a desire for simplicity. The net’s rich content has a dark side: digital obesity. FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), too much of a good thing. A Digital Detox is required: dealing with the overwhelming flood of visual information sometimes requires a radical intervention.
Val Gesto is increasingly focusing on this line in his work. In his words: “Away from FOMO, away from fixations, away from information overload.” Also: away from the internet-based source material. The drawings that form the basis of his new work –paintings!– were made on a whiteboard in a homely environment – in Val Gesto’s own home. It doesn’t get much more personal.
Our home, where little things matter, our intimate living environment, its walls and roof protecting us from the world out there. But it is also where we can observe the world online 24/7. The domestic life of cooking, chatting and making coffee, boredom and minor irritations, Google and Netflix. A whiteboard on the kitchen wall – shopping lists, last year’s holiday photos clamped on it with magnets. The genesis of Val Gesto’s new works.
Val Gesto drew simple doodles on his whiteboard, unpretentious, at random moments during the day or evening. Made in the moment, ready to be wiped out as easily as they came to be. The charm of a clumsy, quasi-amateurish “outsider” aesthetic that we know from Val Gesto’s deviant art appropriations is still present, albeit coupled with a much more personal touch.
He then photographed the drawings (simply, with a mobile phone) and digitally reworked them, giving them a raw, graphic quality that is reminiscent of the xerox aesthetic of old DIY fanzines. Lifted out of their fleeting existence, Val Gesto took it upon himself to manually transfer his designs to the canvas. For the first time in his career, Val Gesto turned to painting as his medium of choice.
This experiment towards painting marks a desire for authenticity. There is no faking it. Unlike digital work, in painting the steps cannot really be reversed. All traces are visible, ‘whiting out’ an element on a painting does not produce the same result. With these works, Val Gesto dares to be vulnerable.
‘Meditation, Love’. ‘Fixated mind creates a prison box’. There is a therapeutic theme running through these works as if the artist invites us to join him in a meditation group session. Or laughing therapy. There is a sense of reconnecting to the ‘real’, but it is not without friction. the wilfully naive happiness that Val Gesto seeks to express seems to disintegrate on the canvas. The figures are happy, but unsophisticated, tough and fragile at the same time. Val Gesto paints humanity’s current state: playground on the remnants of a digital disaster. The personal is, sometimes, very universal indeed.

the cutest mentor
When I’m in Palo Alto, I might stroll by to admire the leafy magnolia tree at 367 Addison Street and take a deep breath of history. Tucked into a cedar-shingled garage there young tinkerers Dave and Bill hand made their oscillators in 1938.
“Dave Packard had gone to Schenectady to work at General Electric. He was told that there was no future in electronics at General Electric and that he should instead concentrate on generators, motors and other heavier equipment,” says the historical plaque marking “The Birthplace of Silicon Valley” as well as the Hewlett-Packard company.
It’s somehow passed my notice other times, yet the garage plaque gives praise to a mentor and professor for encouraging Bill and Dave to go right ahead and make their art.
Through my work behind the scenes with the Zed Omegas, I’ve become attuned to paying attention to larger community influences including mentors and educators such as Dr. Terman. In the past, my focus would have been on the explorer/inventor/student alone. This time I looked Termanup:
“When we set out to create a community of technical scholars in Silicon Valley, there wasn’t much here and the rest of the world looked awfully big. Now a lot of the rest of the world is here,” Frederick Terman reflected.
An interviewer asks, Do you want Stanford University to be a teaching institution or a research institution? He replies:
“A learning institution
