Addendum

Alternate theory on over-earnestness of artist:

Being a college professor, dumbing down has become second nature and so internalized he can't not. Hence the eagerness.

But seriously, I still think this guy should have heard of chemistry and that different chemicals have different properties, like texture.

And I'm sorry I ever scoffed at the possibility of an art career, little bro. Dude, you should totally quit changing passwords and go for it.

Dad shit still stirred up. Further examination reveals a problem is that there isn't a woman shaped hole for this person in my life. I thought if I could become a person who refers to their parents by first names, then I could transition to new pronouns. It is way harder than I thought to do that. If that person isn't my dad, who is [] to me?
