1991 years in the future - is when nothing matters any longer and the origin of the blockchain will be a freckle in the face of our demise. 19.91 eth, on @SuperRare, because once upon a time that mattered. Nonsensical glitches amidst the modern currents of glitch. Link below.

@trevorjonesart Glad it was only a scare, and you're ok

A very important GM, and apologies in advance for the long post, but I wanted to share what’s been going on. I’ve been quiet on here since Sunday after a serious health scare, and it gave me a real fright and forced me to reevaluate a lot of things. Sunday morning started completely normally. I made a coffee, got back into bed, put my earbuds in, started scrolling, and then out of nowhere I was hit with a huge wave of tinnitus, tightness in my head, nausea, and shaking in my left arm. I tried to stand up, but my legs were buckling and I had to fall back into bed. When I turned to Violet, my brain was all fogged up and I struggled to get words out. It very much felt like stroke-like symptoms. My blood pressure had also shot right up and the fear kicked in so we headed straight to the hospital. I spent the next seven hours in emergency doing bloodwork, ECGs, a CT brain scan etc. Today I was back at the Royal Infirmary stroke department for a consultation and more tests. It’s been frightening, not just because of the symptoms, but because for almost a week I had to sit with the possibility that life as I knew it could change forever. Thankfully, everything has come back clear and I’m fully healthy. Thank God! No stroke or TIA (transient ischaemic attack). Instead, it appears to have been a vestibular migraine, most likely brought on by overload. Basically, the brain’s balance and sensory systems become overwhelmed, which can cause dizziness, nausea, shakiness, and slowed speech even without a stroke. In my case, that overload was most likely triggered by too much screen time and overstimulation. Yes, I’m an idiot. I’d ramped up my screen time over the last few months while working on my latest project to the point of developing some really unhealthy habits, including scrolling first thing in the morning and late at night. So I’m making some changes. You’ll still be able to find me here, but much less. Less scrolling, fewer X replies and much less screen time. I’ll be spending lot more time walking, painting, relaxing, and focusing on what’s truly important in life. More than anything, I’m just incredibly grateful. Grateful for Violet, grateful for the doctors, and grateful that this turned out to be a warning rather than a tragedy. The doctor told me today that one of the biggest dangers with anything stroke-related is that people ignore the early warning signs, only for something far more serious to follow later. So if something feels off, get checked out. Don’t put it off. It’s been a huge reminder that life is precious, health is fragile, and no amount of time online is worth losing sight of what really matters. Take care of yourselves and please look after your health. ❤️‍🩹

@zhannetpodobed Congratulations

Officially graduated 🎓

In the background there's still #weekendsartforcharity.

Starting to dial it in a bit, might mint. Had to drop the rendering resolution back to 85% of the display size to improve performance. but it still looks crisp when running real time. example of the gif it produces below

@DaimAlYad Absolutely. I'm just 'another' of the many

> by just another artist SR has never promoted That’s 99% of us on there, isn’t it?

I don't think @SuperRare likes glitch art

19.91 Eth for a piece on @SuperRare by just another artist SR has never promoted. Might just happen 1991 years in the future from now
