I’m trying to let myself actually leave comments, to write things, to make art, etc. I usually clamp down on this as hard as I can, because the idea of anyone reading genuine thoughts or interacting with any actual piece of me is both terrifying and exposing.

But I am in my mid 30s now. I think I understand enough now to know that no one is ever going to be universally liked and supported, no one is ever going to exist without a little bit of interpersonal friction.

Do I still want to run from it every time? …Did I reconsider writing this comment about a dozen times while writing it? …yeah. But I am still trying. For this moment, I have the audacity.

erupt is technically the right term. it’s used in medical contexts. i agree that it sounds weird, but that is by far not the strangest phrasing in English, lol. (native speaker)

Jobless claims. Not jobs, jobless claims. Shitty title designed to get people to click and generate ad revenue. 🙄

This is cool as hell. I love the color scheme. Are you doing these freehand?
