What on earth is wrong with posture? Are those original teeth or did when the hoopla happened for had to have hippo bones implanted and they just came out hideous, like a camel foot embedded above little screaming eyes. are okay, but watch yourself for too long want for a later version to come along and be considerate."

Well thank you for sitting anyway.

Okay Baby you are set up for unemployment, you'll be receiving a card in the mail and also your benefits will be showing up tomorrow, good luck getting through the year!

T.O.S "Have you met Mama?"



I am HUCK. I have been lost for a very long time. I am hoping that I will be found soon.

I met phhhhoebbe and ttttilliee once, and they were out a whole week

of course that was 2015, things were simpler then

Sitting was developed as a primitive technique back in ancient times. It comes in more than a few flavours. Now people spend more time sitting then they do sleeping. Or walking.

If you can't pop a waiting for the work to show up squat then it's hard to imagine how you'll be ready to run away with any success when the wild beasts come. We definitely cannot move as fast as most of the creatures on this land or in these airs or under those waters, but we definitely are faster than the rocks. We also have figured out that if we hit the rocks into each other, we get many different results.

We're throwing around terms like conchoidal fracture, point flaking, cone of impact, hammerstone and whatnot but really it's just jazz at this point, just a bunch of hopped up apes who've noticed that a lot of the rocks on the beach have some actually quite interesting stuff going on inside.

Imagine going through 2020. Imagine it with me now, because it happened, and soon people will be insisting it didn't, that's how weird and mutated things have gotten. Imagine being a human being living and going through life on earth in 2020?

REMEMBER WHEN WALT DISNEY BECAME PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES???

Sorry, I meant the guy who had a stroke on inauguration day and started trying to sell everyone pies became president of the us.

If you were American in 2020, you were part of a genuine wonderment, a new zeitgeist, a repetition of our previous ROARING TWENTIES, but this time with much more hypno swing and dancehall ache scream.

























It was a fucking rollercoaster, and if you were lucky, you were on unemployment and stayed the fuck home. If you were really lucky you became a billionaire I guess? Or you quit being a billionaire and became a sadhu? Nobody really knows. Either way houses got absurdly expensive and everybody moved, and after all the broken windows and homeless people and needles and feces and conversation about MASKS and MASKS and PEOPLE ARE STILL GODDAMN ARGUING THE EFFICACY OF MASKS

WHY DID WE JUST SPEND A YEAR ARGUING ABOUT MASKS???? WHY?????

WE HAVEN'T ALL BEEN SEEING PEOPLE FROM ASIA WEAR MASKS WHEN THEY WERE SICK BUT HAD TO GO TO WORK AS A COURTESY TO CONTAIN THE VIRUS??

FOR DECADES NOW THEY BEEN DOING THAT BECAUSE DUH IT WORKS

Why did we have to end up arguing about the efficacy of masks for so long?? Because we were taking bullshit seriously? Good lord.

I needed N95 masks for stone carving, or even a reusable cartridge half face respirator and suddenly there's none of that and also a ton of people suddenly hoarding toilet paper? Who convinced you that TOILET PAPER was gonna be the ONE THING YOU COULDN'T DO WITHOUT

GET A FUCKING BIDET AND NO MORE TOILET PAPER YOU WANGLE CANDLE. IF URGENCY OF TOILET PAPER POTENTIAL AS RESOURCE IS YOUR PROBLEM, BUY A BIDET.

huck would

I needed to buy a gem faceting machine for chalcedony, jasper, petrified wood, various other semi precious gems.

Because as near as I can figure it, I can do better with selling beach rocks I rock hound like it's the goddamn 1920's then I am trying to get my folks killed or a lady or a cat or any of the whatever the fuck is happening outside at this point.

I thought I saw Super Tensai battling some Spider/Bat intro to film making outfit with masks out in the forest and I didn't even question it.

Unemployment turned into a short term loan? Oh dear. You say you got paid a minimum and also your identity was breached because of cyberattacks, and all that turned into you owing what you'd been paid? Well we can fix that, let's see here. First off, don't kill yourself baby, you're fine. This is all fine. This is just the world baby, it's always been fucked up and busted for as long as anyone can remember, ever since corporations became people and people became indentured servants and the only people who were really free were the billionaires and the homeless.

I was like, well I got all these agates and petrified wood and things like that so I guess sell all that after I carve it or facet it or display it as suiseki? Sounds good! But then I carved a fire agate and it was a little friendly lump with what you could only describe as 'fantasy' faceting, in that it looks like a beachwise goblin did it.

So I'm back to art. If unemployment works out then I'll pay off my debt and get through this next year too and just keep building up skills. I learned Blender again, I know guitar now, I can carve stone and freehand facet well enough for a goblin. I can write okay.

This has been so difficult and so hard on so many people. And people are not doing well under this much stress.

I don't know that anybody I know has killed themselves over this yet. It seems like people are being hopeful and pulling up their ingenuity and finding a way through. Let's hope we all do. I bet Huck got found anyway.
