Callan

"Poohsticks" - oil on canvas (8"x10") I forgot to post the finished version! I delivered this to my mom when I was in NYC a few weeks ago. I probably spent at least 15 hours on this. it brought back a lot of memories, mostly good ones, but it's always going to be complicated.

@ChaletMocha exactly!

@callanable It would have been Red #40 and blue #5 instead

imagine 20 years ago going to mcdonald’s and getting butterfly pea flower-colored “demon sauce”

@literally_chad so you’re saying he’s a ten ☺️

He a ten but he suffers from mysterious ailments

@AlexKrusz I mean four minutes and thirty seconds ain’t bad

@callanable That's what he said

@seedposting @goblinodds same ❤️ thank you @goblinodds

@goblinodds I don’t really know anything about this, you’re the only person I’ve seen posting about it and I feel grateful learning more about the process and how things can go. Sorry though ❤️

hello i am very sad/mad we got ZERO embryos and they tried to tell us that probably it was bc my eggs are busted (conveniently unfalsifiable) and i should try a "low inflammation diet or acupuncture" w/o reflecting at all on their own process (lots of reason to think that couldve been improved on) i understand now why ppl keep their cards close to their chest about this stuff bc when i was Real Sad it was very annoying having to remember everyone i needed to update on this front and then be like "oh no theyre going to feel bad for us this is going to be SO UNCOMFORTABLE" anyway i do not want to deal with other people being sad for me so i prob will only like and not respond to any sad reacts although if you have ideas or then pls spill recovery was honestly so shit i was initially like "idc if we get zero embryos i dont want babies this badly" but apparently if they'd managed to navigate things better (likely partly but not entirely their fault, u cant entirely know in advance how ppl will respond to the drugs) then the cohort of eggs wouldve been clustered and we'd have gotten FEWER TOTAL EGGS (so: likely much less disastrous recovery) but more mature ones + likely even higher quality this place was enough of a mess that we're gonna dip as soon as we can get as much data as possible out of them but now we have to work out whether we should proceed w my sinus surgery (like 15 years overdue, polyps likely a huge part of the reason i've been basically nonfunctional and not had any adulthood to speak of) or try to eggmax ASAP (prob want 3 months to load up on vitamins and find a new place and time it all right) since there is in fact a bit of a cliff at 38 and i'll be 38 in january very !! annoying !! this feels like it was so avoidable but our fault i guess for turning a blind eye to how disorganized they were ofc the eggs could still be busted, these things arent mutually exclusive, and prob we wouldnt know w/o putting me through the torture fest a couple times more o7

very cool post about protecting your books:

@emily_for_now hahah I had been scrolling for a few minutes and thought “wow that looks a lot like my cat”

i saw all the cool kids greg posting so i started greg posting

I knew one day the right man would read my words one day and think “oh there she is..” and he did. keep posting.

@TheBigGoofah thank you for your service!

@callanable Don't worry, I'll make up for that.

sorry I’m out of tweets lately

@lapislagoons me too!

this is such a pillar of who I am

man that arrow really changed things

The hedonic tendency to avoid struggle or difficulty is our biggest spiritual challenge in this country. Many good things are downstream of challenge.
