"The nurse came in, and she showed Yale a small pink sponge on the ends of a stick, showed him how he could hold it to Charlie's lips to give him water
He fed him water, drop by drop.
He could feel it, all around him: how down the corridor, and down other hallways of other hospitals around Chicago and the other godforsaken cities of the globe, a thousand other men did the same."
"She thought of Nora, whose art and love were interrupted by assassination and war. Stupid men and their stupid violence, tearing apart everything good that was ever built. Why couldn't you ever just go after your life without tripping over some idiot's dick?"
So my entry in the @neilhimself Folio Society contest didn't make the cut as a finalist 😢 It's disappointing, but I gave it my best shot and am very happy with what I created ☠️ 🖤
I might still turn it into an art print for my Etsy shop with a portion of funds raised going to charity, like I did with the bookmark art I also did for 'The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains'. If I do I will post about it here later on
@neilhimself thank you! Considering the quality of the finalists who were chosen, and all the artwork I’ve seen that didn’t make it, I don’t envy the decision makers either!
Are you alright with me turning my entry into a print sold for charity? I was thinking of making either UNHCR or UNRWA the beneficiary
My coworkers say that I’ve got resting murder face. When I’m just zoning out not paying attention to anything, I apparently look like I’m actively searching for something rusty to stab you with.
I wonder if its an ADHD and/or autistic thing to have your interests go hot or cold all of a sudden? Find I was enjoying a lot of video games lately, now its podcasts and book reading. #actuallyautistic
@SHODAN I'd like to know the same! I'm autistic but have wondered about some ADHD qualities.
First something such as graphic novel reading is hot: I borrow piles from a library and devour them. Suddendly they don't interest practically at all but I pick up my guitar and start churning out new songs.
The most important things come back to me. I can be sure that at some point I pick up the graphic novels or guitar again. It just might take half a year or three years before it happens.
Right now I seem to be in between of special interests. Let's see what's next.
