    I like the colors and the even pace. Very squiggly and energetic but the sum total is sort of easy and mellow. I wonder if this is what a butterfly's brain is like. The adventures of a lost balloon. 😁

  3. A quotation from Douglas Adams

    It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

    Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humorist, screenwriter
    Hitchhiker’s Guide No. 2, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, ch. 19 (1980)

  4. Someone From The Past, Fahrelnissa Zeid, 1980

    I put this up because I think it's good! and also because it compares to the one before this in the sense that the person in this one is almost distorted in the opposite way, where they are hidden under layers of arbitrary socialization? I don't know if that really makes sense but that is what my head is doing with this stuff right now. The other one exposes the free animal sense experience of a child and this is like the same level of exposure of a socially limited and well-trained adult of the same species. Ok enough out of me, good day to you all

  8. There appear to be no integrating forces, no unified meaning, no true inner understanding of phenomena in our experience of the world. Experts can explain anything in the objective world to us, yet we understand our own lives less and less. In short, we live in the postmodern world, where everything is possible and almost nothing is certain.
    -- Vaclav Havel

  9. What must a person do, psychologically and existentially, to live with another person’s organ inside their body?

    They must become a systemic thinker. They must regulate their sleep to honor their cells; regulate their thoughts to prevent fear from colonizing the mind; and rewrite their life story to include a chapter authored by fate and generosity.

  10. A quotation from Douglas Adams

       “So what’s the point of showing me something I can’t see?”
       “So that you understand that just because you see something, it doesn’t mean to say it’s there. And if you don’t see something, it doesn’t mean to say it’s not there. It’s only what your senses bring to your attention.”

    Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humorist, screenwriter
    Hitchhiker’s Guide No. 5, Mostly Harmless, ch. 17 (1992)

  16. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    O man! as a citizen thou hast lived, and conversed in this great city the world. Whether just for so many years, or no, what is it unto thee? Thou hast lived (thou mayest be sure) as long as the laws and orders of the city required; which may be the common comfort of all.
     
    [Ἄνθρωπε, ἐπολιτεύσω ἐν τῇ μεγάλῃ ταύτῃ πόλει: τί σοι διαφέρει, εἰ πέντε ἔτεσιν ἢ τρισί; τὸ γὰρ κατὰ τοὺς νόμους ἴσον ἑκάστῳ.]

    Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
    Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 12, ch. 36 (12.36) (AD 161-180) [tr. Casaubon (1634), 12.27]

    misryoum.com/us/movies/the-scr

    Scubs' 2026 revival is off to a great start, officially wiping out the existence of the forever-loathed season 9. This medical sitcom kicked off in 2001 and concluded with what was largely agreed to be an emotional and satisfying ending...

  18. A quotation from Bill Watterson

       CALVIN: Isn’t it strange that evolution would give us a sense of humor? When you think about it, it’s weird that we have a physiological response to absurdity. We laugh at nonsense. We like it. We think it’s funny. Don’t you think it’s odd that we appreciate absurdity? Why would we develop that way? How does it benefit us?
       HOBBES: I suppose if we couldn’t laugh at things that don’t make sense, we couldn’t react to a lot of life.
       CALVIN: (after a pause) I can’t tell if that’s funny or really scary.

    Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
    Calvin and Hobbes (1991-03-03)
