(calmy walks onto the stage, tapping the mic, looking around, clears throat) so..."new" tumblr is even MORE BS than ever before.....

... :blobthinking: actually,...social media just sucks in general now....

(kicks the mic stand over, walks off stage just as calmly as before)

gaming | fashion | upset/neg - 

my character in video games: super cute, has a distinct sense of fashion that's recognizable as "me", feel very good about it

Offline/IRL me: mostly wears the same crap I've had since the mid-'00s (when I was in middle/high school)
because I get too overwhelmed with certain types of fabric textures, can't get myself to spend more than 20 USD on new things I actually like, hate that too tight clothing is still a "style", hate returning stuff

feel terrible about it

The Ojibwe have a concept of what is a good life. The saying: mino-bimaaduziwin. Mino means good, bimaaduziwiwin means that a life is a good and sacred thing. So more than just meaning "a good life", mino-bimaaduziwin is a holy virtue. You have a sacred duty to live a good life, live a modest and humble life, thankful for all the things the universe has given us.

When my great uncle was on his deathbed, rejecting treatment for his kidney failure. My mom asked him, at one point, what "mino-bimaaduziwin" meant, because it kept showing up in native music she was listening to. He explained it to her, and in being reminded of his sacred duty to live a good life, he decided to accept treatment. He went on living.

it's such a relief to hear (read texts) from people I haven't spoken to in years

I think we're finally in The Summer Zone (every day is 90+F)

Apropos of nothing, if you're a registered US voter, it's a good idea to make sure your info is still up to date. This usually takes about a minute or two so it won't interfere with your day!

420/weed/MJ | vaping 

got a new brand of cart from a new store because my usual place in the city is out of my fav brand for "a couple of weeks"

so the new cart does... not taste great,...it reminds me of dirt?

but the purple cap matches my purple battery and it's got THC in it so :blobshrug:

like,... it's simple enough to play, but out of 3 games (2 simple rules, 1 5-edge rules) and couldn't get a point???

I've played all the (4) games available in the clubhouse 51 demo and have found Dominos to be the most bullshit game in the demo

my overgrown haircut right now looks somewhere between "Baby Bieber" and "Coconut Head from Ned's Declassified" and I HATE IT

a ramble about creativity 

I really want to get my art/painting stream figured out soon so I can help explain and demonstrate the stuff I learned in art school to make it more accessible, especially watercolor!

more than half of ppl at my ART SCHOOL didn't even know how to use watercolor! I want to change that!

a ramble about creativity 

it makes me full of sorrow when I read comments or replies to painting process videos online that read like "omg that's magic!"

I can understand watching a sped-up video makes it SEEM like magic, but I swear painting is something YOU can learn!

it's not an unknowable random force!

drawing, singing, dancing, whatever, you can LEARN how to do it!

Please don't ever assume something creative is out of your reach just because you don't know how
