I won't be late. I refuse. You can't make me.

Hey Bub,

Nice fucking try trying to make me late for tonight.

It's not gonna happen, B.

I can't be distracted.

I've even gone LEGIT. NO PIRACY... ish.

I think. I mean... we'll see how it goes tonight.

I think I'm finally getting the hang of this shit. And by shit, I mean the joys of building, running, and managing an online cultural institution. You know?

WHAT I WANT TO SAY

Things I've learned:

  • Going legit takes a lot of work, software, and energy.
  • It's still wildly fun.

xo,
Mel

Hey Reader, Who are you going as for Halloween? If it's not slutty, I don't want to hear about it. I'm roughly 3.5 hours late for my scheduled live painting Halloween video on Substack, but quite frankly, Substack is pretty lame. Maybe I'm wrong. a lie. WHAT I WANT TO SAY: If I could have one thing just magically be so in the world with the snap of my fingers and the wiggle of my nose, it would be that people could learn to have fun again. That's it. *boop* magic that shit into being....

Hey! TL;DR Live at 8ish ET here! I'm not feeling so hot, so... we'll see how long for. Do I have the flu? Maybe? Or is sweating beneath your eyebrows normal? How's it going? Oh, me? I've been very busy the last few months, and things are together enough to provide a teensy-tiny sneak peek. Frankly, the results are kind of bananas. I'm loving it: Grabbers ^^, gathering with artists, grant writing (truly no fun), and a dab of technical difficulty (though, this time not my specifically my own....
