a friend asked me for some of my old fic and i was like "fuck no it's been nuked" which it has been. most of it. i have some of my old stuff but like. due to the fact that i have some problems with the concept of being perceived in general, i also have problems with my "old art" being perceived too. i delete so much of my old stuff or simply never show it.

there's things i've posted here a year or more ago and deleted already

#I'm Talking #every so often an old piece of art i've posted here #resurfaces because someone's found and liked it #and then i delete it LOL

“Our real journey in life is interior: it is a matter of growth, deepening, and of an ever greater surrender to the creative action of love and grace in our hearts.”

"People assume that in the 50 years since the first Earth Day we've made no progress. That we're in a worse position now than we were in the 1970s, that there's no point in environmental action," [...] Quite the opposite is true. Climate-friendly advances that would have seemed impossible even 10 years ago are now commonplace. And three times in the past 50 years humanity has faced--and fixed--massive, man-made global environmental issues.

The fight isn't won yet, but don't forget that we have made enormous progress.

We would be in a much, much worse position if it wasn't for all the incredible work of environmental activists who came before us, most of whose names and contributions we will never know. They are the reason that we have a fighting chance now, and we owe it to them to pick up their banner and keep running.

"When an archer is shooting for nothing He has all his skill. If he shoots for a brass buckle He is already nervous. If he shoots for a prize of gold He goes blind Or sees two targets – He is out of his mind. His skill has not changed, But the prize Divides him. He cares, He thinks more of winning Than of shooting – And the need to win Drains him of power.”

-- Zhuangzi

This tree is an example of a gemel, or two conjoined trees that fused together in a process called inosculation - essentially, self-grafting. This is pretty common in thin-barked trees like apple trees, blackthorn, beech, and olives, but pretty rare in thick-barked Douglas fir trees like this one. This tree has a lot of damage from boring beetles, possibly by Douglas fir beetles, Denroctonus pseudotsugae (I could be wrong, though). Being fused together might have weakened the tree, making it susceptible to beetle attack.

two of the people seemingly vanished from this class of 4. this shit cost so many money??? yall just?????? vanish????????????? wild tbh. anyway found out the teacher is northern indian because karen is very insistent about determining people's origins for some reason. except for mine because (✿◡‿◡) reasons. but dear god the envy of a student for another being palpable??? karen??? relax sis.

also i finally understand how to draw boxes holy shit my 3rd eye is open.

i was the only one in class last monday cause ol girl had to do some karen things or whatever. me and the teacher were VIBIN bro holy shit.

i signed up for an art class and it's every monday and deeply realized how much i've never drawn things from real life by sitting down and looking at them. also karen is there. karen with the karen haircut from my art class. her first language is french. she's a very nice lady. a bit pushy and melancholic but same, karen. big mood.

coffee mugs are incredible shapes. charcoals are very interesting compared to everyone else in the class i am QUITE heavy handed.
