Keeps Getting Petter And Petter

This one’s empty, too! / I bet Mother’s day had grocery stores empty out their trash early. // Holy shit! // Hey, do you need an ambulance?

I tried to call one but they just said I’m good to walk by myself. / Those fuckers. Hop in, where do you live? / Nearby. / Fuck, I’ve seen too many shitty movies about shady hitchhikers. Where is my solidarity? …Where is my wallet? // Thank you guys so much, you shouldn’t have. / Oh nonsense. // I’m so glad there are still people like you. / Good night, take care. // Then I found this kick-ass fucking coffee table from the trash pick-up. / (No food nowhere though.)

Thank you, motivational poster! Thank you so much for believing in me!

Dumpster diving with the immigrant mother: / Get your hippie hands off of our rotten apples, Love: The Store Owner. / They even bothered to pour yoghurt all over the biowaste this time. / Could be worse… Stores in Helsinki would pour chicken marinade. And one store got sued for poisoning their trash! // (In a start-up company, no salary for four months) / I’m studying in a field that barely employs anyone. Should I switch profession? / Nothing but art truly interests me. / (No apartment, hangs around with us for a few days) After my student allowance stops flowing, that interest will starve me to death.

Butch women and femme men make me so happy. // I hope they have a good day today. / I found a coin! / I have just the right amount of chips for my dip! // I love you, butch women and femme men.

But other than that, I seem to have neglected my blog yet again. On the other hand, I’m certainly not the only blogger who updates fewer than once a week. Not to mention regularly! Therefore, I choose not to feel sorry for it. / (Blogging, upon leaving my head into the trashbin:) Something’s got to give. / (Life skills:) Welcome to the club. / (Email:) To: Tutoring teacher. Re: Kill me immediately. Best regards, (student code.) // Please come to Liminka School Of Arts 50 year anniversary party on Friday April 15th! Stuff will happen there.

On my way to Tampere I got an idea for the third issue of HeteroseXual Animals. / (Bag full of old comics) / So fucking typical. // Friday: At Emma’s I got plenty of cat therapy from two baldies! / This isn’t how my hair looks like irl but who cares. // Saturday: / Small Press Limbo would’ve been more fitting a title. / At least I have a table now. Last year they ran out in two hours. / I already sold out of my zine, see ya!

Afternoon: Antimilitarist comic anthology panel convo. / Activism – Accessibility – Inclusiveness – I’m wearing water mugs as goggles with the help of underpressure! / (Actually I said a lot of smart stuff about war traumas, picture interpretation, and the power and position of humor in war-related discourse. // But aren’t pioneers the ones who’re disabling those landmines? What’re you gonna say about that??? // Who says it should be militarist forces doing all that in the future? Sounds a bit like devil’s advocacy to me. // I haven’t researched this particular subject, so no comment. / Same here. / Same here. / Same here. / (A thought which I had hours later. Not that it would’ve done any good anyway.

Sunday: / Tired. Hungry. The combination of which incapacitates my brain activity making it all too easy to fall into the trap of intrusive thoughts such as: I’m lazy! Bad! Mean! Shit! Dumb! Slow! / I’ll go wait on that train now. / Already? Okay, see you in the summer. // Nonetheless I had a blast seeing all my friends, colleagues and blog readers. I’ll see all y’all again in comic events, punk gigs and local pubs. Niko-Petteri Niva loves you! <3<3<3
