Some street art I saw near Ren's Den while walking around after tonight's show. :)

Check out this cool piece of television history! This Breaking Bad laminate placard from Season 2 was used by the actors and crew to indicate where to park in basecamp or in close proximity to the set so that their cars could be identified as belonging to the production in some form. 🅿️

Definitely a unique and interesting item to add to the collection!

We actually got out of the house today (shocking) and went to a local summer event, and there were several stages and we were at the jazz stage just tokin and vibin to an awesome band, and i was having a good time dancing. It was also raining and a lot of people were like afraid of the rain, but we were chill. And then I spotted an unbelievably cute girl with blue hair who was also dancing and checking me out! And then she flipped her hair like a goddamn mermaid and holy hell my heart stopped. And I complimented her on her hair and makeup and she lit up, and my partner pointed out her Hellboy shirt and she got even more excited. And then, like an idiot, I just WALKED AWAY.

But then I told my partner that I wanted to talk to her and he said I should! He said I have permission and MY DUMB ASS SAID NO!!! It's been six years since I've talked to a girl and I've LOST IT.

So on the off off off chance you are the cute girl with blue hair and a BPRD shirt and you're even remotely interested in the awkward girl with fishnets and Beetlejuice shoes, hi. Hit me up?

I can't believe this is already here! :")

I ordered this Datura and Amanita ointment from Poisoner's Apothecary. They seem like a good vendor.

I am used to the chocolates from Emporium Black, but the maker decided to stop making them and study to become a therapist instead. I will miss their candy, but I am not sad it's no longer available. I appreciate that this person will make more $$$ as a therapist and be less stressed about living expenses.

I am excited to try a topical.

I will probably see how I am feeling this weekend. If I am in a good place mentally, I may use some of this ointment to help myself focus more on my art. I love what plant medicine does for me in terms of being more brave/vulnerable in my work.

Overall, I am not in a *bad* place right now but I've gone several days just taking 4.5 vraylar instead of 6mg. I have been slightly irritated here and there because the higher dose of my bipolar medicine works better for me. I'm already on top of resolving it, though.

The pharmacy just needs my psychiatrist to authorize a new refill. I think she got confused because they were Albuquerque City Drug, but they changed names and locations not long ago. I'm not upset with her. She's normally really good about getting me everything I need on time.

I'm just about due for my testosterone shot too. I think I should just do it tonight so I don't have to worry about it while I'm getting ready for talk therapy tomorrow. I'll show her the ointment and maybe she can give me advice how else to guarantee my art experience is fruitful.

Both my therapists know I dabble with legal entheogens responsibly, by the way. I explained to them how I approach this activity with caution and respect. I am glad they're comfortable with me using this to nurture my creativity and soul.

I look forward to being able to afford the supplies for prayer malas for certain deities eventually too. Making and using them as part of my morning ritual along with meditations, etc. will yield more powerful results than simply following along on YouTube.

I definitely want one for Ganesha and Kali. Not sure what to do for Sekhmet or Pan, but they're important to me along with Santa Muerte, Saraswati, and maybe even Anubis. Another regard in which I am quite fortunate is the fact my therapists just find my spirituality interesting.

They don't think I am evil or weird or crazy.

They're just glad I find meaning in what I do and that it helps me. It's nice considering my parents would threaten me with homelessness and such if I didn't conform to their fundie crap.

My art therapist even allows me to light candles for Marchosias while we meet because inviting his energy into the room helps me draw more. I feel really lucky I have therapists who are on my side and truly like helping me.

Beautiful poster for ABQ Zine Fest 2022, held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States on Oct 1st. Not sure how I missed it!

BONUS FACT: With a new perspective on the gig, Odenkirk planned on calling his manager to tell him he was going to take the role when he got even more good news. Luckily for him, the show’s producers had decided to up his salary in order to make the offer more appealing – not realizing that the actor was already on board. 🤑

I know this isn't really the webbed site on which to post community events stuff, but there are a lot of artists on here, & some people follow tags for their cities so I might as well. These are the fliers for my upcoming spring artswaps. I'll do a comic to explain more about artswaps & how to host them sometime in the future, hopefully this week if my health improves.
