Back on this vibe for 2025, although without my best friend by my side. Miss you every day, Spooky.

“In nursing homes, neonatal units, and ICU wards, researchers are racing to turn pain—medicine’s most subjective vital sign—into something a camera or sensor can score as reliably as blood pressure.”

AI is changing how we quantify pain

Artificial intelligence is helping health-care providers better assess their patients’ discomfort.

I can't find a title for this glorious painting of autumn Aspen, but it's by Oregon based (Ukrainian born) artist, Anton Pavlenko, and I love it 💛

Woke up from troubled sleep with an extra octave available on my lower range.

Immune system, are we sick or are you just mad about being cold and real tired last night?

I had a good savings before this but it's been eaten up. Being laid off so suddenly from Future Club/Skullgirls has made things even more difficult, since income is down and I have to pay insurance out of pocket now. And then also a tree fell on my house, lmao.

Hey friends. After having open heart surgery in Dec and another procedure in July, I've been left in 10k+ debt while recovering. During this, we were also laid off from Skullgirls. To try to help dig myself out, I have begun listing things on eBay: ebay.com/usr/mshinzan

Two weeks ago we lost a giant of the movie posters world, Renato Casaro. Today we lost a modern Master of movie posters: DREW STRUZAN. I can guarantee you have at least seen 5 of his posters in your lifetime. The man has put his art on some of the most popular movie franchises (Indiana Jones, 1/4

Also from tumblr: if small talk is hard for you, normies love being told what day of the week it is. If they ask you how you are and you roll your eyes and say "oh you know, its thursday" they fucking love it and agree about the thursdayness

This Tumblr user summarizes something I've been feeling/doing lately. Against everything going on, it somehow feels helpful.

User homoquartz writes: as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, “i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now."
Small talk isn't to get to know a person. It's just a greeting to affirm you're buddies in the universe. I am motivated by wanting the other person to know I am friendly, so I have gotten pretty decent at small tall when I used to hate it.

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself.
One day, the meaning of labels will disappear.

Please love yourself as you are.
The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself.
Because that is your strength and beauty.

Anyway I'm not a good role model as an artist. I suggest following more closely people who share the joy in their art and why it's something everyone can find some relation to in a craft or hobby. I want everyone to create, I'm just too tired to be good PR.

shadrad 🪐 still got that Space Trauma @shadrad.bsky.social · 4d

But it seems inevitable.

I'm tired of having to prove my worth, even to myself. I wish all I had to do was just rise to the challenge of creative performance. But fuck, the challenge of surviving is taking me out, and being sick eats up most of my creative time, so idk man. I'll die before I AI.

My therapist practically *begs* me to find some kind of satisfaction or pride in my accomplishments, but I can't see the point when I'm still constantly treading water trying to survive.

Half the work is trying to keep the masks up so I don't keep losing chunks of my life to social fallout.

I can't rest on my laurels, I have something to prove (to myself), and I live in constant flux between 'fear of not being capable enough (failure)' and 'actually fuck all y'all I don't care (isolation)'.

I haven't found another way of living that isn't just semi-functional depression.

I also am someone always hungry for improvement and overwhelmingly self-critical. Standard AuDHD experience when you're a PROBLEM so every success is a baseline of 'passing' and quickly discarded while I look for other flaws to fix.

I try not to be negative about my actual art-- my art, when it's in the realm of my expected standards, is good. My negativity is usually blowing off steam and being real about how challenging it is, because it can feel very lonely at times when you've hit a block. Comraderie in the struggle helps.

Good thread

chira 🎋 @artofchira.bsky.social · 5d

in a session with my therapist, she was commenting how she can't draw a stick figure -- then recalled a time when she could envision exactly what she wanted and it came out easily on the canvas. and she had no idea how she did it.

I was like, yeah, the flow state. you know, like athletes and gamers
