Cozy @ Bottom
🕑 Added 2020-08-01 20:20:11 +0000 UTCGuess what!
I’m in Missouri! I’m halfway done driving “home” and only have two more scheduled shoots left on the way. I’ve never driven through the Midwest before, let alone been to any of these states. It has been heartbreaking to see the Jesus trump anti-mask lovers having such a platform for idiocy. The secondhand embarrassment is causing me to consider adding more statements to my art that surpass commentary about my own pain and suffering. I’m also hoping to remember to fill myself before I pour into other things. Hopefully next year sees all of us a little bit more full.
Guess what else! Yesterday, my SD card glitched out and deleted over a thousand photos from my time in New Mexico and Colorado. Selfies and collaborations, including all the footage from the baby workshop I held in the Colorado Rockies. I’m hoping they can be recovered!
Oh and also. I had hand raised a tiny little gray catbird from scatch back home. His name was Rudy. I was excited to get back to him, but alas he died out of nowhere yesterday AM. Birds do that sometimes.
All of the heaviness together lead so some underwater pool selfies at an air bnb outside of Kansas City, where I felt motivated to remain at the bottom for just a few more seconds each time I went down. It was extremely cathartic and after an hour of poetically drowning and sputtering to my hosts’ concern, my tears were dry. I’m not sure what I’d do if I weren’t so able to come home to myself and digest my turmoil through self portraiture.
I have a few stills for my $15 tier later, and will upload some alarmingly tender video footage to my $40 tier as well.
Looking forward to seeing if I can recover the pics from this card, and either way, looking forward to sharing a lot of the content I’ve been able to make on this trip once I’m home and able to “get right” again.
Update for $5+
Thanks for your support!

Rudy was a good, good boy. I'm glad I was able to offer some comfort and a happy cozy home for him while he was here </3

Glad to get news of the journey back, but awfully stressful development with the SD card (I bought a cord Saturday, to manually transfer vids and shots from one camera to the PCs, various backups). And about Rudy. Yes, from the Plains through western Virginia, you'll be in lots of rural Trump counties. The state land grant universities, started by Lincoln, expanded by Franklin Roosevelt, were intended to educate rural masses. Only a few take the opportunity. It's hard to be smart!
