I have been collecting art my entire adult life, starting from my days 20 years ago as a student at RISD. When I see something I love, I do not hesitate to buy it. At this point, my walls have no room for more art, but that does not stop me when the art is really good. I am obsessed with my latest art purchases, these prints by LA artist Nick Pini. Abstract figures rendered with digital charcoal, giving me all the right energy and attitude. I bought Caught This For You and No Nightmares No Dreams because I instantly connected with them. I framed one of them in this Neon pink frame and it’s perfection. Ok now I want to go buy more...gotta go!

Inspired by my imminent desire for floras rabbit print, but very seriously:
I think one of my small but important life goals is to establish a formidable collection of art made by my friends and peers, because (a) when they all become famous I will be very rich, (b) it is so much more interesting to populate your walls with physical artifacts of your community than some random posters (though I do love a good random poster), and (c) i think it is harder in the digital age to materially support the physical arts in the same ways we are used to supporting like, musicians - the culture of going to see your friends bands, or buying your friends band merch, is harder to carry over to seeing your friends paintings or sculptures, i think. So I think it is important to try and do so whenever possible. I am trying to channel my inner medieval artistic patron, with whatever pittance of funds I have on hand.
In conclusion:
Make your friends sell you their art
Commission art from your friends as if you are a feudal lord commissioning a portrait of your lover
Hang that shit in your house

my dad died when i was young. today is his birthday, he would’ve been 64. this day usually passes as normal, but this year i’m feeling particularly sad, and i am trying to feel those feelings fully instead of numbing them

my everyday bag is a large baggu crescent bag, and it is the love of my life. i have a variety of pins on display that say, “help the police-beat yourself up!”, “mean lesbian”, and “the moral panic is about ME!!!”
i keep my wallet and coin-purse in the one little inside-pocket, along with lip balm/gloss, airpods AND wired earbuds, pencils/pens, lighters, my trusty bus pass, and an unlimited use kiss coupon from my partner.
in the main part of the bag i have a smaller bag full of stimming toys and communication cards (and gum and more lip gloss). i also have a taser, one reusable bag (just in case!), my journal (i’ve been trying to keep a commonplace book), my kobo libra color, my vape, a few joints in a cute kitten cigarette case, and a pack of american spirits (the teal ones are superior).
