It's hard to avoid spiraling when you run out of money. Every time this happens to me I start feeling things like... am I good for society? Society doesn't want me, clearly, because I don't have any money. And currency is how you measure demand, right? It's literally a measure of value. But then I think of all the homeless and poor people and, like... I value them, so what if they don't have dollars? It's literally just paper. Or bits in a mainframe that nobody knows how to program anymore. So if they're valuable at least to me, yet me, with my 67$ in the bank and 127$ internet fee, is not valuable to me... Then what's the discrepancy? I'm not trying to be hard on myself, it's not my fault that I bleed money, but I still feel terrible. It's like a common cultural persuasion, if you run outta cash you better kill yourself fast. Fuck that.

These rights we claim for each other are rights that must be taken away from those who would use them to harm others. To defeat evil, deprive power, supply kindness, in that order.

On the other hand, art is necessarily divorced from it's meaning the moment it leaves the pen and is written to paper. So there cannot be a meaning in my flag, not one that I define of course. The observers of the artwork, of whom I am but one of, can possess their own ideas of what it means, of course. Here's mine, feel free to take your own: Sea, land, sky. The crimson of a fading light, and the bright beginnings of a new day. Man(kind), with our vivid red internals, stands astride the border of the ocean and the surface. We walk where we will, perhaps into the black depths of the cosmos beyond, but forever do we anchor ourselves and owe allegiance to our earth and our star.
