i'm a witch & you can't kill me

anywayyyyyy today i'll do maybe an hour of work on the racecar cross stitch & then spend the rest of the day on my simpsons piece, i'm excited about that

i did about 90 minutes on the racecar & now i'm having what i call a "lie down" because my "back hurts"

vanessa wants me to do an embroidery of her logo (she is buying the gym & changing the branding) but i have absolutely no idea how to estimate cost for embroidery because i don't know how to estimate how long something will take because i am time blind

i guess i could use it as an experiment & just eat the loss

i do time a lot of my projects but i haven't found the data that useful because each piece is so different. i'm not a machine, that's the whole point.

or i could give a high estimate & then in the end just charge for actual time spent so it's (ideally) lower than what i stated. money is hard! it's why i've been hesitant to do commission work.

blechhhh it's text though, & then an ombre unicorn in the middle. text takes forever & that kind of color blending is hard, but fun. text isn't fun though, stitching text sucks.

i LOVE not worrying about if i'm getting into heaven. like i suffer other sorts of existential dread (mostly about what legacy i might leave behind) but not having to worry about the weight of my soul is a real privilege.

it seems like an utterly exhausting way to live

I don't love to crow over the deaths of my enemies because I feel it reduces me, but I am absolutely filled with glee at the sudden and unexpected death of Lindsey Graham. Fuck that warmongering piece of shit forever, may his memory dim and be forgotten. The worst kind of self-loathing gay man: that genteel southern white man who tries to make up for his (from his perspective) moral failing by doubling down on the violence and domination wielded by the state. He never met a muslim nation he didn't want to bomb. That he was regarded as a sober elder statesman says all you need to know about the bloodthirstiness at the core of American statecraft. He was a massive proponent for the American imperialist adventures of the past twenty years and has untold amounts of blood on his hands. The world is significantly better off without him in it.
