Still feels weird that the same band made "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" and "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)"

hey what are you talking about

"Don't fix your car," said the guru, "but fix yourself instead."

Yeah, thanks for that, bud. I get plenty of exercise walking home from the various places that my shitboxes have left me stranded. Grocery stores. Movies. Weddings. The mall. My job. Prison.

Once, one of my jobs gave me a step meter, as part of a company initiative to "improve wellness" and stop asking for raises all the time because we're too busy walking to unionize. After I walked a mere fifteen kilometres home and back to bring a fresh battery to my stricken daily driver, the watch started smoking and gave up. Might have been because I used it to jump the battery, but the manual didn't say not to.

What I'm trying to say is that the advice from that well-intentioned mentor was not very useful in my exact situation. He was just babbling something that sounded deep in order to get me out of his meditation hut, where I had ducked in to warm myself before continuing my six-hour walk back home to get another car. Even if I were to achieve perfect inner peace, I'd still have to drive places and interact with the imperfect outer world. Cars break down, which is why we like them so much. If they worked flawlessly forever, they'd have no character at all.

About thirty minutes later, I reached enlightenment, and realized what the guru had meant the whole time. Walking was the lame thing to do. Although fashionable in Paris, it's very slow, and the correct way to deal with my crap-cans would be to get more organized. I had to invest in my system, not in my tools.

If I were to park cars all over town, then I would be no more than four blocks from a running car. And if that one turned out to also be dead, maybe because some dumbass hasn't driven it in several months because it's six hours' walk away from his house, then I would only be four blocks away from another car. And so on. There was literally no downside.

Later, it turned out that I represented over 60% of the cars being parked in my town. By simply offering to withdraw my vehicles, I could wildly control the price of parking all over the city. Turns out that also affected parking-company stocks, which is how that so-called guru got incredibly rich following my ass around and shorting whatever company pissed me off that week. That's enlightenment for you.

Why can’t real life cities be 10 mile tall gothic metropolises with red and black and skulls and statues of weeping saints everywhere

Lyra, my beloved cat of 13 years, passed away this year on Father's Day. She's been by my side through very difficult times and was my little rock of steady and unrelenting love. I struggled a lot drawing this, and struggled a lot posting it, but I know I would've wanted to read a comic like this that validated my grief for her when I lost her.

Wherever you are, Lyra my little summer star, I love you always! Thank you for being the best thing in my life.

For everyone wanting to know what the embroidery jacket as a whole looks like because it's been a while: this is it. As you can see, it's getting crowded - but not nearly crowded enough to stop. My estimate is that it'll take me at least a few more years to finish this project. Possibly a decade if I really do want to fill every single as of yet empty space.

Reminder

Not every diy project has to or needs to look good

Especially bc of social media there can be pressure to make every diy project look professional. But thats not necessary! Things can look ugly! Utility and having fun making it is more important than it looking nice.

These are some of the diys of mine that are ugly (or obviously handmade lol)

The belt bag is a project im proud of but its obv not professional quality, my hemming is atrocious and my pin cushion? Ugliest thing ive ever made

And thats perfectly okay!

I use these things everyday, and i had fun sewing them. Nitpicking each flaw wouldve ruined it and made me not wanna sew
