#kontextmaschine is dead so i am taking over the tedious diy blog beat

[drdemonprince]

moving soon-ish. i am blessed to have considerable overlap in the time i have at the old place while already having access to the new place. moving makes me so terribly anxious that i typically throw out semi useful appliances, furniture, and clothes I will miss alongside actual junk. but this time i am moving to a place for the long term so that i can have a bookcase and an actual desk and not go insane. and i have the gift of time so i can bring a lot over in phases.

i spent this morning cleaning out the dishes drawers, the junk drawer, and under the sink at the old place.

i filled up three jumbo trash bags with junk. actual junk. old paper bags and gas bills that have been paid and expired hydroponic weed growing chemicals and dry rubber bands and used gift cards and sticky cough drops and such.

i found a much-needed power drill, clean sponges, a replacement filter for the cold brew maker, a clean drain catcher, a tea ball, all kinds of good stuff. everything that remains is tidily sorted into plastic bags i can run over to the new place at my leisure.

started hanging art at the new spot too. dorian electra poster my friend blair gave to me. a printed out tumblr image edit of punished snake with a flower crown.

the painting that is on the korean cover of Unmasking Autism.

and this art, made by an illustrator for a short erotic hypno story that i wrote for Autostraddle:

it feels good to have art up that isnt just representative of who i am, but is literally art made based on my writing and is connected to my career. and to put up items of significance based on my relationships and where i came from. tumblr raised me and ive shared dorian concerts with some of my dearest friends.

i should get a corkboard for postcards and such from friends too.
