The thing neurotypicals tend not to understand about the ADHD brain is that it really only has two gears

I turn to the chalkboard and carefully write out

"There must be countless stories in the walls of the old house by the tire swing. Very lucky that ours is one of them, even if among the last.

May that place meet the woods forever."

For a very special hyena, happy birthday.

5 reasons why we love sea otters

In kelp forests vast, where waves softly sway, Dwells a creature revered for its engineering forte. With luscious fur and eyes full of glee, The sea otter emerges, a marvel to see.

Like guardians of the ocean, they tend to the kelp, Keeping it healthy, providing it help. By dining on urchins and crabs with delight, They maintain harmony, day and night.

Tell us what you love, hooray, As we celebrate World Otter Day!

First, birds aren’t real.

Second, bats simply flap.

In my humble opinion, a critter skitters, a beast stomps, and a creature simply walks. This is how I tell them all apart.

But what about the fish?

I’ve had the idea for some time of just rambling about random things I like online and calling them Darien’s Diatribes. I think I might start here even though it’s kinda just me here right now. Make little note sheets on whatever I fall down the rabbit hole on?

I just saw the most Galaxy Brain gender take ever, from a cis man on reddit

[ID: a screenshot of a comment from reddit, with no username visible. The commend reads: This doesn’t make a ton of sense to me either. Setting aside the question of whether gender/sex is assigned or observed at birth, the gender I was assigned at birth was ‘boy.’ The gender I have now is ‘man’. Boys and men have different gender roles, and few adults identify as boys anymore. From this standpoint, every adult has a different gender than the one they had at birth. End ID]

Framing “girl” and “boy” as separate genders from “woman” and “man” is such an amazing take. it’s a framework that accommodates and explains so many trans experiences. Some trans people never were their AGAB. Some feel like they were their AGAB, but that that changed (usually when puberty hits, which is when you start “becoming a man/woman”. The accepted societal path is that girls grow up to into women, and boys grow up into men. But some girls grow up into men, and some boys grow up into women. This guy was a boy who grew up into a man, which generally works out pretty well for people. Some boys and girls grow up into people who aren’t men or women, even! It’s like this random cis guy skipped right over transgender 101, 102, 201, etc. and stumbled directly into Transgender Nirvana.

By existing as a citizen in and paying taxes to the imperial core, we automatically hold complicity in imperialist oppression because we are literally footing the bill for it. That is just the basic nature of being born to privilege in systems of oppression in general. We can be disadvantaged and marginalized in every single other consideration and we still have to understand and cope with this, and ensure we leverage it as effectively as possible.

Voting abstinence/sabotage does not absolve us of our responsibility to do everything in our power to lessen harm, but it DOES show that when our personal morals aren't satisfied, we retreat into (imperialist, this time) privilege to 'wash our hands' of the situation and declare it's not our fault and it's not our problem.

today in "google AI is fucking useless because it hallucinates things that never happened", i bought a couple CVS thermometers that have both been acting up, tried to search if there had been a problem with the whole product line:

there is no record of this product recall. it did not happen. the date "feb 8 2024" is the date someone listed a thermometer for sale on ebay.

your writing and illustration are both so incredibly compelling, i don't know much about these characters but i just keep imagining scenes out of their life stories. truly some awesome storytelling :D wish you'd make a comic someday

Much appreciated, truly!

Early on, I was inspired by a lot of works that depicted scenes that were otherwise given no context, and forced the viewer to come up with stories for them. Forced viewer interaction that was engaging.

I never thought I'd have the time to draw out the stories that came to me in full- so I took advantage of illustration to pack as much story into my stuff as possible.

It's humbling to know that I can provide the same phenomenon that inspired me all those years ago.

That said, now that art is my full time job, I'm hoping I can finally get to telling those stories in long format.

There's *some* comic material out there already! But nothing from beginning-to-end. Below are some older material.
