I was reminded today from a post by twelvety that we did in fact, back in the days of photo printing from film, use a little bit of nose grease on our negatives to take out scratches before we printed the images in an enlarger. Just rub your finger alongside the bridge of your nose, then wipe it right on the scratch...

Here’s a weird thing that kind of gave me pause: a few months ago, I got a notification from LiveJournal congratulating me on having an account there for twenty-one years now. To be fair, I haven’t used that account in at least nineteen of those years, but still. To me, that seems a really long time to have been in...

I’ve been feeling a little disconnected in a weird way from music lately, which is kind of odd, considering that I am almost always playing something during the day. I’m a huge music fan, always have been, and I think that in this world of buffet all-you-can-eat streaming services, that might be part of why I’m...

It's in the 90s here in Stephen King Country, and sticky outside, so honestly until I must leave the house, I'm staying inside and doing art things today. Here's a little something I put together today, to keep myself pleased. As always, no AI in this one, just good old fashioned postwork. Stay cool, friends. Send...

Been working on some new art over here recently, so here's a little portrait just because. Thanks for looking, my peeps.

I toss. I turn. I make myself a burrito in my blanket. I stick a leg out and let it dangle off the mattress. I say fuck it and grab my phone and start writing this post. I am not a great sleeper, at least not at night, not when I’m supposed to be sleeping. This isn’t something new, not some side effect of growing...

I keep having this weird little fantasy of putting together a good old-fashioned zine kind of thing. You know: printed on paper, an actual, tangible item that you can hold in your hands, with pages that you can flip through and dog ear, with space in the margins for doodles or scribbles or somewhere to write a phone...

I'm not sure when it happened precisely, but I seem to have fallen off the writing wagon. Oops. It's not the first time this has happened, and it won't be the last, I know. I've been writing for a very, very long time. Honestly, it's probably been longer than most of you who are reading this have even been alive. So...

The Rocky Horror Picture Show Brad: Dammit, Janet! Our tire had a blowout! Janet: Here, let me call for a tow on my cell. Brad: Great idea!

A blogger I follow just recently admitted that they used AI to write a post for them, rather than missing what they feel is a day on their blogging schedule (but it’s okay, they said, because they guided the AI through prompts and told it the sort of feel they wanted for the post, and how to “write” in the style of...
