That giving feeling is the best feeling. I gave little tokens of appreciation to the hospital staff who have taken good care of me. I am very satisfied with their customer service, and I wanted to tangibly show them how much. What a kick!!!

Hope is imortal. Hope is eternal, and as what is written on the gates of hell, abandon ye hope all who enter here. That’s pithy wisdom. without hope you make a special little hell for yourself,. It props up a shitty staus quo. Cherish hope, never relinquish it.

There is a secret martial art called Dickkido, the way of the dick. The US since its inception has been a fecund place for practitioners of the Art, as the real story of our history plainly shows. As Edward Snowden plainly showed us. As our status as the world’s fueler of large armed conflict plainly makes us. The grand Masters of dickkido have become bolder because the success of their agenda has made them arrogant. President Trump is a product of generations of exploitation philosophy, and rapist-pirate liar best practice. A flower of Dickkido.

I am always struggling in a pursuit for freshness. Seeing the world anew. Sloughing the weight of the past. It always comes back. it always comes back.

Time takes its time. You can get used to anything. You don’t notice the house falling down if its slow enough. You don’t care if the bathwater is cooking you if you have been cold for so long.

If the most important legacy is leaving the world a better place than when you came into it, I think a lot of us are falling down on the job. There’s a lot of catching up to do.

The question is how do we make our communities better, the quality of our citizens more admirable. With greed as our guiding principle we will reap a false sense of accomplishment and larger class division. Greed cuts both ways more for me and also what I can keep out of your hands too. Better fairness than greed.

When it is dark and silent I am bright inside. I am never alone, although sometimes I feel lonely and really think I need a hug. But I don’t. I am warm enough.

All we want is shelter from the storm. Science is shelter. Mercy is shelter. Cooperation is shelter. The storm are the four horsemen. We need shelter because we are all fragile.

In this republic of the united states of america, we get the right to vote tomorrow for governors, representatives senators, and misc. local elections. If you are aghast at what has transpired since the last general elections, I hope you are prepared to vote in elected officials with other agendas. Did you encourage others to vote? offer rides to polling places? Give your employees a break to go vote? Voting is the bedrock of American democratic renewal. Let’s focus on keeping our elections clean and fair.

Nothing like a Hospital stay to show you who your true friends are. When in crisis people really rally around.

We Humans are so contentious, how did we ever build a Civilization in the first place? We can’t build something without knocking something over. We should start by not knocking each other down.
Basic Human rights for all. No one should be considered sub-human. Oh? you think you are not considered Livestock by someone far up in the social hierarchy? It is not right.

Many Etsy users will be going on strike from the 11th-18th and this includes myself. Why are we striking? Because after years of record sales on the site Etsy has added on fee after fee, to the point that many of us are struggling to make a profit. It is greedy, it is wrong, and it is killing small businesses
Tonight I will put my Etsy shop on vacation for the strike until the 18th. Today is the last day to grab up any merch at their current prices. When I reopen everything will go up 7% to meet inflation, so today is a great day to get something you like

Etsy is easily the biggest part of my current income, so losing out on sales for a week is a bit rough. Many creators make their living there, so I would highly recommend supporting your favorites there today and soon after the strike is over. Don’t cross that virtual picket line though, try to buy nothing on there from the 11th-18th! If you are a seller there consider shutting your store down for the week, I am not hopeful for change—but I will always try to fight the good fight. Shares are appreciated, as are any financial support

Support Living Artists and Support Living Creatives for sale as mini prints, stickers, and button pins at my Etsy! Additionally, large prints are for sale at my Inprnt and you can get one of these two randomly picked and sent anywhere in the world if you are a Cerise Swan tier member at my Patreon. When you become a patron at that tier you get a lot of rewards, but the monthly mini print saves you 4USD nationally and 6 USD internationally compared to buying the mini print at my Etsy. That is a pretty good deal!

It is Valentine’s Day and I wanted to share my love of living artists and creatives
A while ago I made a piece about Supporting Living Artists. However, I wanted to make a new piece about that and start expanding the support. Creatives surround us and while they are sometimes visual artists they can also be writers, actors, musicians, game developers, and more. Think of the past few years and how often you have likely turned to a piece of media to get you through these hard times. Many creatives came together to make a song that kept you going, to craft a video game that changed your life, to write a book that moved you, to draw a piece of art that brightened your day, or something else entirely!
Artists and creatives may work professionally, but they may also be creating as a hobby or a personal pursuit. Just as you may have turned to a piece of media to keep going, you may have made something of your own to survive either financially or emotionally (or let’s be honest, both)! This is why supporting living folks within the arts and creative communities is so important, it is something that keeps so many of us going on both the creation and the consumption end and is vital to our humanity
Support can be financial, but it is as easy as liking something someone posts, sharing it, or offering a kind word. Something as simple as that can change someone’s life and should not be underestimated
If you’d like to have this either of these as a mini prints, large prints, stickers, and button pins round out the new series for now so you can again express your support for those who work in arts related and creative professions, hobbies, and pursuits they are at my EtsyandInprnt. You can also pledge at my Patreon and one of these two (I pick at random) as February’s mini print reward!
