I already deactivated my Facebook and am now threatening to leave Instagram over their related-site-scraping upcoming policy. But I have a regular ass free art newsletter you can subscribe to, and here's October's update to it. buttondown.com/bruesselbach...
One more week to do a late pledge to the Kickstarter, before I start finalizing rewards and sending out surveys! Prints and paintings are slowly appearing in my shop at slightly higher prices.
2026's project is 8 #OilPaintings of #color, #season, and #planet themed #aliens, each seeded by a #figure study of a #nonbinary model. Back the #Kickstarter (late pledges through Samhain!) for images, process, a poster #calendar, #prints, originals.

As someone with an entire second name as my legal middle name that haunts my ID, no, please stop, don't do this. I only give thanks my parents didn't hyphenate and give me a last name 50% longer.
I AM imagining a second child just because I didn't get to use a bunch of names. I'll get over it.
"Parents are namemaxxing for a variety of reasons" I rotate in my head until my brain is a perfectly smooth sphere goodhousekeeping.com/relationships/parenting/a74231433/namemaxxing-baby-naming-trend?…
In 2007 the Knife's Deep Cuts awakened something in me about gender and brainweird that I couldn't quite recognize yet, that maybe Karin Dreijer couldn't themself express, except with this... class dysphoria? www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpOS...
Can we call this Progressive Pop? I'm the most into Tori when she does these experimental things with production, goes on some wild trip. It's like EWF each like a different artist, a side to the Tori Tesseract www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Mdz...
Good morning, maybe Triassic by The Ocean is the only song I get to post and that's fine. Anciently post-apocalyptic reflecting the world after mass extinction, reflecting covid in 2021, but speaking to self-isolation more than anything. youtu.be/XvpRCX7jays
Wait he is! @colornerd.bsky.social I'm really hoping to follow him into the depths of color theories, chemistry, physics, biology of it all, but starting small with mapping out my oil paints. These custom color wheel palettes are overthought conceptually, but not scientific enough.
Double jab yesterday. Sore arm but fine otherwise. Didn't need a qualifying condition, fully medicaid covered, local pharmacy. Get your flu and covid shots for the season!

“Infection of the Blooming Flesh”
A beast that has been infected by viscera known as the Blooming Flesh. Over time, the host will be mutated into an elaborate plant-like structure. They will be kept alive, but immobile, trapped inside a new body with no hope of escape.
you can't be serious.
This reads Meta/Facebook/Insta is looking to grant itself the rights to scrape websites across the open web - and train Meta's AI - if a company after Oct 30, 2026 uses Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp or other Meta services. So every biz.
Read that again. Outrageous. 1/5
Because my birthday dinner was postponed 3 days, and I'm sure other factors that can't entirely be my unlikeability, the already low attendance became one friend. Upsetting and embarrassing. Please console my middle aged mom feels.
People talk a lot about foot fetishists, but nobody talks about how artists are all sickos for hands. Anyone who draws the human form regularly goes absolutely wolf-howl sicko mode over a well drawn hand. It's like an entire body on it's own, artists are out here hubba-hubba-ing and awooga-ing
1. Artist assistant to my idol. After paid painting study trial, showed up an hour late, handed sick baby to watch, did 1 day of canvas prep.
2. Liquor store, 1 day, never given schedule I needed but expected to keep to one.
We could actually really use some more support - it's been really slow lately and I'm getting a bit nervous. May try to throw together a more organized campaign in the next week or two, but for now I'd love it if you'd join or share.
people who take the human at the basis of what labor is, instead of recognizing that the organization of labor in society determines the human, are basically premarxist. that conservatism is so scary
I showed a friend my emotional support box of 120 crayons for putting in order, and they recommended a free, offline phone game where you make a smooth gradient with swatches. Checked out the game, and it collects personal and location data. I'll just wait for my crayon box, thanks
