Painting I made for a show in Richmond this past weekend. It’ll be up for the month of august. The frame was very hard to make. Thank you.

Everyone's familiar with SpongeBob, but are you familiar with 'Wormholes,' one of Stephen's student films from his time at CalArts?

If you thought SpongeBob was surreal, it's only a fraction of the strangeness of his student films.

I’m the CEO of a hot dog company. I’ve worked on hot dogs for 10 years. And *I* wasn’t prepared for what I’ve just seen. Your life is about to change.

So what can you do?

Buy as many hot dogs as you can. Buy stock in hot dog companies.

Fingers crossed for reaching the singularity in 2027 🤞

I watched a guy on the bus today. 6:45 AM in the morning while jogging, His eyes looked heavy, like he was carrying the weight of an entire lineage on his shoulders. But immediately he sat down, he brought out his phone and started scrolling TikTok.
​As a Biomedical Engineer, I wanted to snatch that phone from his hand.
​See, let me tell you the bitter truth nobody wants to hear.

Most of you are not lazy or "unlucky." You are chemically sabotaging your own destiny before you even brush your teeth.
​The first 60 minutes of your day is a war zone. Your brain is begging for direction. It runs on dopamine, that’s the fuel for your motivation. But what do you do?
​You wake up. Your eyes haven't even adjusted to the darkness of your room, and gbam, you pick up your phone.
​You check WhatsApp to see who ignored you. You check X to see who is fighting. You check Instagram to see your mates buying cars you can't afford yet.

​You think you are just "waking up," but scientifically? You are flooding your brain with cheap, unearned dopamine. You are frying your reward system. By 8 AM, your brain is already tired. It has consumed "content" but produced nothing.
​And let me speak to the men for a second.
​I write about men a lot because I see what you go through. The pressure is much. You wake up and the first thought is Rent, School fees, the woman you want to impress.
​It is terrifying.
​So, you grab your phone to escape. The phone is your pacifier. It numbs the panic of the morning. But that comfort is a lie.
​When you start your day with cheap dopamine, actual work feels like torture. You have programmed your neurochemistry to be a consumer, not a king.
​You are training your brain to be weak in a world that eats weak men for breakfast.
​Here is the hard truth (and you can drag me if you like):
Your morning mood doesn’t determine how your day goes. It determines your capacity to suffer for your success.
​If you can’t survive the first hour of the day without a screen, how do you want to survive the economy?
​Protect your first hour.
Don't touch that phone.
Stare at the ceiling. Pray. Do pushups. Go for a morning jug or walk.
Let your brain starve for a bit so it learns to hunt for the hard things.
​Stop feeding your destiny to the algorithm.

this quote from Carl Jung hits so hard.

"The world is full of people suffering from the effects of their own unlived life. They become bitter, critical, or rigid, not because the world is cruel to them, but because they have betrayed their own inner possibilities. The artist who never makes art becomes cynical about those who do. The lover who never risks loving mocks romance. The thinker who never commits to a philosophy sneers at belief itself. And yet, all of them suffer, because deep down they know: the life they mock is the life they were meant to live."

I do feel bad for my eraserhead baby pipe sometimes. His existence is torture.
