I’m good enough at guitar to do it professionally. Not my only job but part of my income is playing as a hired gun for local acts and artists touring the region. I play mostly country, a lot of chicken-pickin, bending style telecaster stuff. Been at it over 25 years.

Agree. Someone well into adulthood with a preference for dating people right at the border of adolescence is a massive red flag. It may be legal but flying as close to that line as society will allow suggests a more predatory nature.

Tuning in local radio stations while I’m driving through new places can be really cool. Also if you’re a sports fan there might be a ballgame on - good way to entertain yourself for like 3 hours.

Amen to rest stops. Every 2 hours is a good rule of thumb, just to reset your focus if nothing else.

Some time numbers just feel better. :35, :28 good. :24, :17, bad. I can’t explain it. It’s like a color or a sound.

If you are musical or like music maybe find a local weekly jam or open mic. Play some tunes or just go and enjoy. Typically a very welcoming and open community and supportive scene, at least everywhere I’ve been.

Touch screens on fitness watches is the dumbest shit. I straight up can’t use it while jogging and sweating. I just need a couple real buttons, but good luck finding that.

Why so much purple? Always. This shit is so tired.

I think it is worth being very clear that “Executive Dysfunction” is not a disorder, it is a term to describe a symptom that appears across multiple disorders as well as independent of disorders.

Task initiation is an uphill battle for MOST people, and on its own does not indicate a disorder. Uncertainty and anxiety are very real barriers that can overwhelm anyone.

Because one party doesn’t want them to vote and voter supression campaigns have become extremely powerful. And it goes beyond the beurocratic tactics like voter IDs. Apathy, cynicism, and distrust are also part of the right-wing propaganda. Opposition parties fight an uphill battle to engage more voters.

Or even construction… there are office jobs for that too. I know firsthand.

Washington’s Apple Health is great. Easy and accessible. The state could definitely expand that to everyone.

What do you want me to do? I’m fucking out there protesting. Shit I’ll be at another rally today. I wish things were different but I’m not a coward and I’m doing what I can. I’m sorry.

I prefer this community.

A bedside sink.

Damn. Yeah

White crayon is a secret weapon when doing watercolor. Lets you mask areas you want to leave without paint. So that’s my choice.

Thanks for documenting and posting all these. Keep at it. I appreciate your coverage.

Check out @[email protected] posts. They are posting pictures of grassroots protests across the country every day. Like has been said, there hasn’t been THE big mass protest, but there is constant local activism and protest, just mostly ignored by media.
