It depends what you want to do with the art. But an easy answer for me is: the author dies when the author dies. Buy things after they die. Before that: pirate, second hand (I’d reccomend second hand everything though, within limits).

That’s not typically how I want my art though. Knowing what informed the art is interesting to see where it’s supported Vs contradicted in the piece.

Two examples: knowing jk Rowling is bigot then reading HP, well how did we not see it sooner? The series becomes a lot more sinister knowing who wrote it.

In contrast Ender’s game, how is that series written by that man?! It’s about love and the limits of love. It’s about life and the limits of life. Reading the series knowing the person who wrote it is baffling.

In general, knowing the contexts of the piece is interesting to me. Like Saturn Devouring His Son, it was painted directly on the wall of Goya’s house… Why, who paints that directly on the wall of their house?! Wait, Black PaintingS? There’s more?! Not knowing the story of the Black paintings, it’s just an interesting interpretation of a greko-roman myth. But, what hat did Goya see in his past to see that? What did he see in the present to need to materialize it in his dining room? What did he fear for the future?! Fuck.

Do they go ass to mouth?

Not a doctor.

I imagine that if they (top and bottom) drink plenty of water during the day it should be fine.

Do the “toilet for a day” challenge. You surely won’t regret doing the “toilet for a day” challenge.

The far right: a beetle story.

I call it “butt stuff friendly”

Who just sits there and makes up fake words, as if they were real? Hmmph. A real loser, that’s who!

Shakespear didn’t deserve that. Nor Dr Suess, actually maybe they both deserved it.

I shan’t feel to badly leaving everything on ipv4 then. I had planned to join the 1990s this winter, but life happened.

If I were a fish and you saw me, you’d say look at that fish. Shimmering in the sun, can’t believe that you caught one.

It just so happy, and simple, and happy

You’re a LEG-END. Legend pronounced leg end.

I think it’ll end up like any industry with machine made options. There will be the a spectrum of products from 100% human made to majority machine made.

There will be a few bespoke artists doing interesting things for the wealthy and the passionate. But, for most of society, the mass produced stuff is fine.

Take clothes, how many of yours were hand made VS machine made. Cobblers are hand making shoes the world over, we’re yours hand made. I have some hand knitted wool stuff (because I’m passionate about wool) but my Levi’s are machine made. Shoes, motorcycle gear…

Furniture. There’s cabinet makers the world over doing beautiful pieces of work, but I got most of my stuff from IKEA. How about you?

It’ll end up like any other industry with machine made options. The bubble will burst, don’t get me wrong, but after the .com bubble burst we still had the internet.

One of the top posts of fuckai right now is a bottle of olive oil, now I’m not yucking their yum. I just have different things I wanna do with my day than stare at someones olive oil bottle. Not better, I’m glad they have the free time and mental effort to do that, pondering mass produced labels is their jam, I support it. I just wanna do different things. I expect the world is going to want to do different things too.

That sounds like a bunch of people who are even more politically engaged than most. So they’re even more correct than they otherwise implied.

Do you spend most of your time getting ideas and tips or executing them? Your hobby might be the gathering of tips and ideas. Want to spend less time on Reddit, spend more time executing the ideas and tips you’re gathering.

Your hobby might not have been doing the hobby. But, talking with people doing the hobby then. Less talk about doing the thing, more do the thing.

Example, one of my hobbies is motorcycles and the riding them. I have zero posts in r/motorcycle or c/motorcycles. Because I’m busy riding them and meeting people to ride them.

Enrichment. Take up a creative hobby. You don’t have to be good, just be creating stuff you want to create.

Music, food, plants, drawings, sculpture, journal, creative writing, exercise, knitting, flower pressing, dorodangos (literally polishing a ball of dirt). Be building something, you need enrichment. Learn to sing/instrument. Start a sourdough starter (why did sourdough become popular when we locked indoors? Enrichment). Get some pencils and scrap book. Start a indoor/outdoor garden.

Pick something appropriate to your time/budget. Time rich, money poor: pick something you can fuss over for a long time and is no more expensive than a pack of pencils. Time poor, money poor: Mediterranean herbs thrive on neglect, start a rosemary plant.

I actually like this as a decision making tool.

Flip a coin, if the outcome truly doesn’t matter, go with whatever it says. If you’re disappointed with what the coin decided, go with the other one.

Ask, they said white, preferred they would have said blue, you now know you prefer the blue one.

Going into spring/summer that’s ideal, I wanna go places do things. Mid winter, I’m feature creeping till something breaks.

Ahem, please leave my long back alone.I’m sensitive about it, not sensitive enough to do any squats though.

Tea, about 6 pints a day, my cup holds just over 1 pint 6* a day. I have mini tuocha for home, tea resin for travel, and some curio tea for variety.

I have caffeine pills in the car, but I’ve never used them. As for caffeine amount I dunno… a lot probably.
