Hi! I'm Marco! I’m a retired chef & anti-fascist who studied culinary arts, world history, civics, & polysci. I now make adult novelties for a living.

I’m learning to grow food & as a person.

I paint, sculpt, woodwork, tinker, & enjoy problem solving.

No gods, kings, lords, or masters. EVER.

I did this model a while ago and it's been floating around the silicone room waiting, patiently, for me to make a mold from it. At 10" tall and 2.8" in diameter, it's, ehh, THICC!

A 3d print was used as an armature for me to add cartoonishly large veins in resin.

Trump is singlehandedly responsible for countless families splitting up. My father, who consumes fox, newsmax, and breitbart like its incontestable, are no longer on speaking terms. I have many words for cheeto, miller, and other boot licking lackeys. We need more like George speaking up right now!

"George has continued criticizing the president and figures of his administration, including Stephen Miller (during her appearance on The Katie Miller Podcast, Kellyanne described the Millers as some of her 'best friends' in the current administration)."

Serious answer, the census. That pesky thing which determines the number of seats each state gets in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Come on over. I've hot an Eames chair, a nice sofa, a guest bed, and a big fluffy area rug to roll around on. $5 a minute.

A shrinker is $300 an hour. I think pupper snuggles are a better use. You come visit. No vet bills, no doggo foods, just all the snuggles and no picking up #2 in the yard...

I'm starting a new business. $5 a minute for puppy snuggles.

Boost serotonin levels, along with dopamine and oxytocin for just $5.

Cuteness Aggression is okay, but just with Aengus, the big one.

Five hours in the garden today and not remotely close to being ahead of the game. Yeah. Chasing time for all the things.

I put in five fruit trees this year and probably going to add a couple more. Florida is citrus friendly but very few cold days that stone fruits like.

For the love of dogs.

And oops, shoulda read the first post...

The world will become a far better place when us old people plant trees the shade of which we'll never experience.

I love this expression taken as is and metaphorically.

I say for that bundle of words never committed to a sentence in history, I give you a follow. I cannot wait, more, I eagerly await the next anecdote!

I wonder how many people in Idaho are actually aware of this. I don't watch TV so have no clue if this was even in the news. It seems like something that peeps in that particular state might have an interest in.

Me too! They live in Arizona, which flips between red/blue and my dad is a fox news addict, which is why we don't talk, at all. They are experiencing first hand exactly what they voted for. Which is infuriating! They're both pushing 80, & I'm going to end up with the brunt of their expenses soon.

I told mom that if there is a god, that they would understand. I'm way not perfect, but I try every day to be better, do better, by me & everyone I care about.

Im an Atheist who believes that love is the answer, to everything. I believe empathy is the single greatest strength we have as a species.

To me, we are already in paradise and death is simply us returning the material that we've been using to experience the universe back to it. The idea of spending "eternity" in any conscious capacity is hell. Mom says to me that I'm a better Christian than every single Christian she knows. 🧵

I was able to get her to understand that I will never, ever believe. Ever. She says I'm breaking her heart, to which I said now you know how I feel...! I think that she finally understands. I think the weed helped here, I really do. She went on about how she looked at things like never before. 🧵
