Not completely out of the woods, but Grandma is doing a lot better today. She might be in hospital for a while but she’s doing much better

Grandma is doing a bit better, her colour is much better and she can talk to me now - she’s just having a nap at the moment because it’s like 2am over here.

Had to take my grandma into hospital; she has sepsis.

sometimes you only need 2 panels #wow #woah

I’m off work for a week starting tomorrow! Hoping to get the house and garden done up, finish my neighbours garden and get back on the art wagon! Also it’s my birthday on Wednesday and my friends are taking me to a steakhouse!

A petition for cis women who feel the recent anti-trans ruling does not speak for them: www.change.org/p/not-in-our...

It’s my birthday next Wednesday Engage existential crisis!

Doing this, or using "retvrn" as a joke, isn't reclaiming anything, it's encouraging Nazis. It's demonstrating that they're being heard, if not listened to. It's giving them proof that their persistence works, instead of isolation that will encourage them to either change their ways or die.

This one's doing numbers, so I must re-iterate: one of the most valuable tools in the fight against GenAI imagery is to stop making fun of amateur artists for entertainment. If people think there's a risk of being mocked for being unskilled at art, they will never bother trying it for themselves.

My favourite song at present! The whole freaking bit after “she sang:” makes me want to move! Has a really good YEAH in it too!

Take the fictional character quiz and post the first four you know openpsychometrics.org/tests/charac... I’ve never actually seen lost but I know people like Hurley! Kaylee and I have the same name though mine is spelled differently

Going for sushi after work! Just gotta survive this shift! 🍣

This passed 215-214. We're going to lose our healthcare because 3 senior Dems have died this year. We lost Roe because Ginsburg didn't retire. We lost the election because Joe ran for reelection. Our country is being destroyed because geriatric Dems can't retire and let go of power.

Be a human being. Write badly. Draw badly. Make a mess. Make mistakes. Research. Think. Read. But do the work yourself. Be original. Be odd. Better yourself each time. Grow as a person, as a writer, as an artist, as a musician, at the pace you grow at. Do not sacrifice that to AI.

i dare you to fuckin pluck something vulnerable and small from your heart and draw or film or move about it. AND show it to people. i dare you to make something. i dare you i dare you i triple dog fucking dare you to Cook and not simply Eat

Please never be too afraid to tell your friends you love them. Platonic love is too often shunned or declared as weird but it's just as important, if not more, than romantic love. So tell your friends you love them, they might just needed to hear that in a world as cruel and stressful as ours.

Tell me something that makes you happy! I’ll go first - Niche Internet communities devoted to appreciating something small, like the Canned Sardines subreddit

LOOK AT HIM AHHHHHH

I’m gonna say this a little more loudly: there is no “exception” for GenAI usage if you support artists, writers, musicians, the planet, poor communities polluted by the generators, etc. None. Your “silly little uses” are still exploiting everyone and fucking everything up. Full stop. Thread.

My elderly neighbours garden has become overgrown with brambles, so I bought some gauntlets and I’ve been tearing them out most of the day. My back hurts and I’m sweating and I feel the most relaxed I have done in ages… Something’s changed… Guys… I think I really like gardening now??
