Stuck in the Middle With You
This set of 15 images was created for “Stuck in the Middle With You” by Stealers Wheel on January 4th, 2026—two days after Andy and I formally walked away from DeviantArt. Told with dark, snarky humor, it reframes a stretch of experiences that were anything but funny at the time: sexual harassment and boundary violations, stalking, numerous sockpuppet accounts used for shady ends, and the particular sting of so-called “friends” who knowingly kept company with people who hurt us (and themselves maintained fake identities and sockpuppet accounts). The project is part exorcism, part reclamation—naming the absurdity and cruelty for what it was, and ending not in spectacle, but in relief, solidarity, and choosing each other.
Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Well, you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawlin'
Slap you on the back and say, "Please, please"
Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
Well, I don't think I can take anymore
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Well, you started out with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawlin'
Slap you on the back and say, "Please, please"
Yeah, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
