I'm a cynical old drunk who lives in the woods. Half the country is depressed and the other half is infuriatingly gullible, so I walk rescue dogs to keep sane. I've never felt so alienated. Nothing makes sense including me, maybe just keep scrolling.

Definitely buying this for premiere night! Yeah, so it's a little thing, but I take my happiness where I can these days.

Good me: It doesn't matter if no one sees me, I feel happy making art just for myself. Bad me: No likes, no one validates me, I suck, why bother? As an introvert, I then overthink it all. So thank you for your encouraging words. It really does help!

Emily. He's had this girlfriend for a year now. Tell me I haven't jinxed it by painting her; but she's too adorable to not. Mothers never stop worrying. I just want to die knowing someone loves him besides me. #oilpainting #figurepainting #ArtYear #art

What a wonderful thing to say! Your comment brings me much happiness. I guess I leave my heart on the canvas, and it's so nice when someone notices that.

Lie. Then lie. Then try lying again.

K.Hoopes @khoopes.bsky.social · 14d

Thank you. I needed this, too.

K.Hoopes @khoopes.bsky.social · 15d

Every word he utters is a lie.

It's a wonderful sense of camaraderie to be among kind, peaceful folks, isn't it?

OMG, you're on here!!! Every time Reflecting Light or the LaLa Song run through my head, I think of you, my friend. Once my fat ass has consumed the proper amount of caffeine, I'll be emailing.

That is inspiring. Dare we hope this nightmare might end - I'm old and really don't want to die this pissed off.

K.Hoopes @khoopes.bsky.social · 17d

Glad to hear that! There was even a protest in Waynesboro, the heart of Maga country. So we can hope,Todd.

Harrisburg, Pa showed up today, and it was great! Felt kinda like Woodstock Meets a Kick-ass Kids' Birthday Party.

That was one fantastic book. ❤️

While it is, in fact, just the opposite. The lying is mind blowing.

You said I'd get half and I don't see no stinkin half.
