Hello deviants.

I hope this journal finds you well.

It’s National Poetry Month. I’m still not really here and I won’t actually be participating, but I do have a bunch of older scribbles that I might unload.

Most of it is older, and I make no promises as to the quality of any it.

Enjoy! Maybe.

Just uploading things that never made it up during the last little while; scribbles as old as a couple of years and as new as last night.

Hope all you deviants are still doing well. Tiger--eyes and I bought an old farmhouse on an acre back in February and are raising cats and chickens and dreams. What a life. 💙

Daily Deviation, Ko-fi, and beyond!

Hello, boys and ghouls. It's Halloween month and my ghost is once again haunting this place.

I wanted to stop in to tell you all that I'm thinking of you and to say thank you to 22DarkShadow22 for suggesting my most recent scribble for a DD and thank you to Barosus for featuring it:

I also wanted to let you know there's more work headed your way. I've got scribbles old and new laying around unsubmitted. I even have a new collab with a visual artist coming soon.

Oh! And I made a Ko-fi, just in case you'd like to buy this ghost just a little bit of life: https://ko-fi.com/youinventedme

Thanks for your continued kindness, patience, and eyeballs, you lovely humans.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. There is still a huge amount of stigma associated with mental health. That's bullshit, so let's talk about it. Here's where I'm at: In March I got health insurance (Thanks, Obama!) and got back on my meds for anxiety, severe social anxiety, and depression. In April, I had a full psychiatric evaluation and was (finally) officially diagnosed as being on the Autism Spectrum. More specifically, the anxiety & depression issues, as well as sensory overload issues, I've been dealing with my whole life have (finally) officially been seen as connected to having Autism Spectrum Disorder/being on the spectrum. For most people who know me fairly well this won't come as a surprise. I've had conversations with mental health professionals about this back when they were still using Asperger's as an official diagnosis. I've talked about it with friends, and parents of friends, on the spectrum and have self-identified this way for a number of years. This just puts Big Brother's official stamp on it. I've been treated on and off for my mental health since I was a small child and when I first had discussions about Asperger's things clicked in a big way. I suppose it feels good to have something down on paper. It's also going to add to the resources and treatment for my other mental health issues and daily interactions. Oh! And I got a cannabis card last month too. In Utah of all places! What a strange journey this life has been. Can't wait to see what comes next.

Hello, friendos! NaPoWriMo is upon DA and so am I - sort of.

I'm not fully back, but I'm back enough to cheer on my favorite human, favorite writer, and favorite NaPoWriMo participant, Tiger--eyes. I'll also be helping her revive PoetryForHumans. She has already been submitting her own work and requesting some of yours over there & I'll be doing the same, though on a lesser scale (particularly on the submission front, as I'm not participating in NaPoWriMo this year.) Still, expect some submissions & requests & favorites... and possibly even a comment or three. We would also love it if you started submitting your own work over at PoetryForHumans again. And if you're not already a member, we'd love to have you.

While I'm here, I'd also like to use this space as a mass thank you to everyone who has read and/or favorited and/or commented on my scribbles while I've been away. I won't be able to do my usual individual thanks at this juncture, but I will try to get back to everyone who commented.

And remember deviants: dismantle white supremacy, smash the patriarchy, stay hydrated, and take care of each other out there.

@YouInventedMe here. Hope this message finds you all well. You may have noticed that @Tiger--eyes has started reviving this little group of ours. I won't be quite as active as she is, because she is participating in (and FUCKING CRUSHING) NaPoWriMo, but we'd love for everyone to start submitting again & we'll both be requesting poems from you fine humans. In the meantime: dismantle white supremacy, smash the patriarchy, stay hydrated, and take care of each other out there.

Make no mistake: these MAGA chuds see themselves as revolutionaries at the Boston Tea Party, but they’re more akin to the mobs of the third reich whipped into a frenzy by their führer. They are monkeys baring their teeth and throwing their feces. And the police should be dealing with them with the same force used on peaceful BLM protesters...and peaceful Native American pipeline protestors...and peaceful Occupy Wall Street protestors... but hmm I wonder why they’re white. Oops. I mean, I wonder why they’re not. But all their chest thumping and shit slinging changes nothing. Biden will be sworn in on schedule.

A lot of fads came and went when I was a kid. (And thanks to the thirty year nostalgia cycle: have returned once more - looking at you, snap bracelets.) One of the biggest (and pretty short lived) was the rise of Kris Kross and wearing your clothes (very likely including overalls with one strap unfastened) backwards. I remember this phenomenon taking place around the same time Crystal Pepsi was available in the vending machines around my apartment complex. I don't recall wearing my own clothes that way, but I certainly owned overalls, listened to Kris Kross, and loved the hell out of Crystal Pepsi. Oh, and I also used to own pogs. Pogs were a thing that happened in the 90s. They were... umm. Well, you see, you had them and then... uhhh. The cool thing about them was... oh, dear. I'll be honest. I know I owned pogs. I know they were also called milk caps. I know kids collected them and traded them. I know they were popular enough for at least five minutes that they were banned in a
