not to sound like a christian facebook mom but some of yall need to have grace in your hearts for the people in your lives or the people you pass once on the road and never see again like you literally need to stop assuming the worst of everyone and their intentions it is poisoning your brain. you can be careful and responsible without being a miserable person. it is possible i promise

the commodification of friendship is the most annoying thing to come out of the internet in ages. like actually i love to break this to you but you're supposed to help your friends move even if it's hard work. or stay up with them when they're sad even if you're gonna lose sleep. you're supposed to listen to their fears and sorrows even if it means your own mind takes on a little bit of that weight. that's how you know that you care. they will drive you to the airport and then you will make them soup when they're sick. you're supposed to make small sacrifices for them and they are supposed to do that for you. and there's actually gonna be rough patches for both of you where the balance will be uneven and you will still be friends and it will not be unhealthy and they will not be abusive. life is not meant to be an endless prioritization of our own comfort if it was we would literally never get anywhere ever. jesus.

I painted this female belted kingfisher after seeing @ipaintbirbs Bird of the Year painting. And now I’m posting it as part of #birdartweek2022.

my problem is that i dont want to be a professional artist but i also have never wanted to do anything but be an artist

wanna get sponsored by a lord so I can live on one of their many sprawling estates and make funny little paintings until I die of consumption

years ago my 4th grade Japanese students were drawing things they liked for an activity, and one kid drew a very small little head poking out from under a big square with arrows pointing toward the line between the head and the square. the Japanese teacher struggled to explain - it wasn’t sleeping, it wasn’t being comfortable, it was something more. when you’re tucked in, i realized, the feeling of being all snug in your blankets and with your pillows but not asleep yet. i tried to explain this but didn’t do a great job with the language barrier, so somehow what got written down on the student’s paper was “the feeling of tuck,” which is. a powerful echolalia.

anyway, that’s what im seeing in this image. the feeling of tuck.
