He Gave Him His Wings LITERALLY

I wanted to draw them but I can only draw animals so

my tgm piece for @topgunzine!

this, again, was drawing in last april and i’m so glad to finally post it! a huge thanks to everyone who bought and supported the zine 🤍🛩️

my father said to me once that one of the things he deeply regretted was not putting music on for his father while he was fading away. he told me that grandpa would just sit in his old armchair in the quiet, and not until after he’d passed did my dad think of how he could have played of his favorite classical music tapes for him so grandpa could listen to something while he still could. i was very young when this happened and not much older when my dad told me this, but it always stuck with me as something important.

my mother died at home in a hospice cot, slowly shutting down over the course of about a week. when she had stopped responding, i remembered what dad told me about wishing he’d played music for grandpa, and i put the radio on her favorite country music station and kept it on for her until she died.

daddy died in hospital. no cassette players, no decent radios. the day after he was brought in, i thought again of what he told me, and i bought a little portable bluetooth speaker. even though he never woke up, was never aware, i played music for him too.

there’s no real significance to sharing this, not really. my motivation is selfish, again: i just want to hope that someone might think of this when their loved one is stuck in silence somehow, and maybe they’ll play music for them, and they won’t have to regret not doing so. i want to hope it helps someone. and i want to hope that someone will remember my dad with me, even in just a “story i read on the internet” way.

made a new fanfic!!

more good news from tiktok: they’ve started blocking celebrities.

they’re calling it block party 2024. just blocking and ignoring countless celebrities who havent said shit about palestine. influencers, actors, anyone who went to the met gala, whatever, they’re getting blocked. and people keep talking about how cathartic it is, how good it feels, how they never realized they could DO that. there was some kind of subconscious law against blocking famous people, but it’s broken, and people are LOVING it. and it’s WORKING. a social media/digital advertising coordinator was talking about how ad companies are PANICKING, because they can’t accurately target anymore. so many big influencers, including fucking LIZZO started talking about palestine the MOMENT their follower counts started going down. and the best part? no one is forgiving them. lizzo posted a tiktok asking people to donate to palestinian families, and all the comments just said you’re a multimillionaire. put your money where your mouth is. blocked.

i feel like i’m witnessing the downfall of celebrity culture, right here right now. people are waking up.

so do we all agree that Leo’s love language is acts of service and/or physical touch?

"HOMERUN🗣🧢⚾️💥"

We played baseball in P.E. 🫂🫂🫂

too often my thoughts drift to the death. its so… easy. its too easy to die. its too easy, too frequent, and too unnoticeable and that messes with me so bad. I have so many dreams— what do you mean that can all be taken away by a drunk driver? my friends who are so excited for the future can just never wake up one day?? what the fuck????

2022 was a tough year, so I wanted to welcome 2023 with a smile and laughs.

I present to you low quality memes!

forgot i was editing glen powells face last night to see if he would look normal if his facial features were slightly larger and opened my photo app to this
