IN A WORLD OF HER OWN (2016)
Acrylic on Canvas - 36" x 48"
This painting arose from musing on an interview that Stanley Kubrick gave in 1968, a source of inspiration I have gone back to over the years, revisiting comments made by the director.

Great day, great vibes, and capped it off by learning that someone found the floor plan to the long lost Pajama Sam dark ride.
Good things can still happen, wonderful secrets can still be discovered, and lovely fall weekends do still exist
Sometimes I worry that I am Too Easily Influenced. Too prone to Outside Ideological Interference.
Then I come across someone with a dumbass take and I'm like "lol. wth is this guy on about." and I feel better about my brain
Finding a long lost thing you wrote from 10+ years ago, rereading it, realizing it's probably the best thing you've ever written
...and then being sad because it's a fucking HP fanfic and your gender is the trans kind
I know you and I have talked about this before, but I really wish we would all collectively stop using the word LARP to mean "pretend."
I have friends with literal phds in the subject of role-playing. LARP is so, so much more than just wish-fulfillment pretending.
@ass.golf dude I've lived in this town a year now, and it took me this long to realize what bar The Horrible Revelation is based on. The award for biggest fool in western massachusetts goes to me
Chill bar tho
The ultimate millennial balance is between irony and camp. When something can touch perfectly on this balance, it is pure gold and all millennials will love it.
I'm so hype for Dropout to do more scripted stuff! ❤️ I love the improv obviously, but I know so many of the cast and crew are literally comedy writers as well, so it's great to see that side of their talents too!
Also I heard Zach and Jess wrote the music for this? I see them behind Paul F Tompkins
why is it that I feel I could pick a tumblr user at random and they would probably make a better elected official than most actual elected officials
That 15 year old emo furry would make kind decisions and try to help people. What the fuck are y'all doing?
correlation isn't causation but I lost over 10lbs since getting a convertible standing desk
Not only am I standing like, 1/3 of the time that I'd be sitting now (which is most of the day, I work and play on computer), but also I can get up and do tasks without interrupting my brain flow
art is the meaning of life. if they take art from me, congratulations! they have taken my life.
not to be fucking dramatic or anything but that is where we are at
I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.
I will not be silenced.
Um okay I hate to do this but ever since I had to pay for a bunch of school and visa stuff all at once I've been struggling to cover costs and have been without my prescriptions, including my ADHD meds and HRT for months now. If anyone can help so I can get back on track, I'd appreciate it.
"Adult Human Female" has never been the definition of a woman - despite what anti-feminists like J. K. Rowling and Donald Trump might claim.
So why have TERFs decided to change the dictionary definition of woman? 🤔📖

Over the past two weeks, I’ve been following the attempts to smear the Jane Doe in the Cornell University gang rape case and redirect blame from the seven fraternity men onto her. As usual, this campaign is built on a mountain of lies and misogyny.

This flew under my radar for a *while*. I happened upon his videos without knowing anything about him, and only found out he was a rapist when I saw a post about it by chance.
It is unfortunately so easy for rapists to just move on, and easy for us to not realize just who we are supporting.
To Marina, I'm sorry for accidentally supporting this man, and for ever recommending his channel to others. Thank you for speaking out.
I tried to go back and tell everyone directly who I ever recommended his channel to, but I'm sharing this today in case he's flown under anyone else's radar.
my dad messaged me, not knowing what's up but knowing I'm upset:
"Good cure fer whut ails ye: Find a bar w/ a space invader type game, get a roll of quarters 'n' go to it."
He knows what's up. He lives in another decade entirely but he knows what's up
Unless something goes horribly wrong, I'll be presenting Wizarducks at Game-A-Palooza in Brooklyn tomorrow (...today?) afternoon! If you're in the area, come say hello!

Bluesky right now is better for me than Twitter ever was even at its peak.
While it’s definitely not an echo chamber - I wouldn’t care if it was. I’ve heard enough bigotry and anti-science garbage in my life to know what their arguments are. I don’t need to hear it every day to be educated on it.
My friend is in the hospital, and apparently it's just so loud cuz everyone keeps playing shit from their phones at top volume. And I'm just saying, if raycon can sponsor every youtuber in the world, they can send some of their damn everyday earbuds to hospitals so my friend can get some fuckin rest
So like, I've said a bunch of times how much I looked up to Jacob Geller. His videos really inspired me to try my hand at video essays, and I'm still really glad to have had that inspiration. But man, does it still feel dirty.
It's just so depressing.
It’s honestly really triggering for me that once again, in the aftermath of people finding out a man who is a beloved public figure committed sex crimes in his past, the conversation has to immediately shift into how and when the guy can return to the status quo he was in
The “restorative justice” convos around Geller l miss the point. Maybe he is/was on that path. But he is owed nothing from us and I have more empathy for victims who found comfort in his work (like myself, I own his fucking book) and now feel betrayed at having emotionally invested in an abuser.
hoooolycrap amazing sweater this week's episode @marisha-ray.bsky.social , I love that so much ❤️
(also hi, big fan, I enjoy how you also visibly enjoy when someone uses a really good and interesting word)
You know the yellow car thing? I heard Brennan Lee Mulligan say "fomented" in critical role campaign 4 early on, and now I've heard it a hundred times. A very relevant word.
Me: I've come to a sort of new conclusion! I think it might be my fault
My therapist: That isn't... but isn't that how you normally feel?
Me: Yes yes but this time it's different
Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.
All I want is to turn myself into this kinda maple tree gradient, but we have not yet achieved the desired effect gamers
We can do better than this! I will achieve the autumn tree hair of my dreams
