There's something so deeply calming about watching megafauna prance and gambol about like they're little lambs
the most life-changing customer i’ve ever had at work was a guy who came up to me and my coworker when we were at cash and said ‘hey kids…. wanna see something?’
and I said sure because why the fuck not, i’m here for a good time not a long time, and this motherfucker pulled a railroad spike out of his pocket.
A GODDAMN
ANTIQUE
RAILROAD
SPIKE
It was a fucking foot long chunk of steel that weighed about five pounds on its own so i was like ‘huh….. neat’
and he said ‘wait. there’s more’ and he took out a screwdriver. inlaid into the head of the spike. ‘things aren’t always as they appear’ he said as he unscrewed the bit and pulled out of this goddamn railroad spike
a statue
a tiny, tiny golden statue stood on the base of this flathead screw. it was a tiny golden man standing next to a tiny golden flower with gemstones in the petals. the whole thing was smaller than my thumbnail is tall. it was detailed enough that the tiny man had facial features. it was amazing.
‘oh my god,’ i said. ‘how long did it take you to make that?’
‘here’s a word of advice,’ he said, ‘never answer that question when people ask it. it devalues your work. you’ll get faster and better at things, and be able to make more art in less time. they don’t need to know about the process, just the product’.
and he left and that’s the one artistic piece of advice i definitely wanna hold to.
don’t tell people how long it takes to make shit.
“Opal’s getting a little dark”

makes it really clear to other viewers under the tornado warning what the stakes are and what the appropriate response is
Tornado warning means that shit is coming now. There might not end up being a Tornado but you don't know that for certain, so get your family and yourself to the safest place possible. (Downstairs, as low as you can go. Basement if possible but the center of the house if not. If that leaves you in a room with windows, barricade yourself with mattresses IF there's time. Otherwise cover with clothes or blankets and wait for the all clear. If you’re driving, pull over and get into the ditch or as low as you can get & keep your head down.)
