Dreaming of sunflowers & starry nights at the transcendental @goghsanantonio experience... another "haven't done something like *this* in X years" (10 going to a movie, 27 for a concert) first. If I'm not careful, at this rate it'll look like I'm starting to have a life again.

As part of an experiment while working on a new project, I ended up putting some of my art through @midjourney to see how it reimagines them.

And sometimes, after months lapsed back in the dark and *years* without an in-person friend, life pulls you out into the world again. (Hanging out downtown (!) for my belated birthday with the awesome @Black13, complete with bar crawl and a sweet haul from @NowhereBookshop.)

Stop gaslighting yourself into the narrative you’re lazy when you’re really burnt-out and exhausted AF from trying to survive these dark times.

"There is barely any distance between…neutrality toward the world and a crucial love for it…All that is required to move from indifference to love is to have our hearts broken. The heart breaks and the world explodes in front of us as a revelation." God. theredhandfiles.com/in-your-…

Dear Sue, God is love, which is why I have difficulty relating to the atheist position. Every one of us, even the most spiritually...

Goodbye, you beautiful, fierce, loving galaxy of a human. I've called you my brother for half my life, and it wasn't nearly long enough. Ad astra, amicus meus. 💔

Thank you for everything in this, Wil. You not only saved my home, but (more than you know) my life. Everyone who #WilSentMe is proof that the spirit of the internet can still be, here and now, what we who love it (& one another) want it to be. <1/2> wsj.com/articles/the-interne…

This hits me so bittersweetly today, as a beloved friend of mine — a fellow vet of the old web who became the science director for the ISS — is near death as I write this. I'm aching w grief to lose that light from the final frontier, but so grateful to have had it at all. <2/2>

A month ago today, my life changed. To mark it, I finally went all the way to the end of my street & back: the farthest I've gone completely on my own in 15 years. Thank you for saving my home — & making me want to find a place on the outside again. This is still everything. 🙏

Here in Texas, we had to spend four years struggling to get the mental healthcare I now have. Even with a lawyer, every step was a battle. I was tested & examined in the most humiliating & degrading process I've ever experienced. <1/4>

The mentally ill are far more likely to be *victims* of violence (including me) than perpetrators of it. Same with LGBTQ+ (especially trans) people & people of color. Texas find ways to blame us for every fire, and sees the solution as giving more people matches & gasoline. <3/4>

I went through hell, treated like a criminal for being openly mentally ill and trying to get needed help for it — but the sickness in the Texas government is far greater than any sickness this Texan has ever had or could ever fathom. <4/end>
