Instructions for coping in these uncertain times, from the insert that came with a pet food dish I bought pre-tariffs

That feel when you need the mood boost of new art, but don’t even have the spare spoons to seek out an artist and give them an idea to comm.

When you and your co-writer set your OCs on a path of estrangement that lasted two years and you finally get to write the moment of reconciliation you've building to for months, and this is the final "vibe" song of the RP session...

I fear there's a lot of small artists out there whose expectations of "normal" were established in the early years of the pandemic, when people were flush with stimulus checks and trapped in lockdown. Even if we could put the AI bullshit back in the box, those times aren't coming back. I'm sorry.

You know that Pete Hegseth would totally check out that game that J.D. Vance is working on and told him about in a DM...

There's no better argument for the creative power of constraints than the food I come up with when I'm trying to use up ingredients in my fridge/pantry before they go bad. It's like a special "prevent food waste" episode of Iron Chef in here, and my mouth is the winner.

nothing hits quite like having an OC you ship with your friend's OC and your chat is just putting them in Situations. extremely excellent, only thing that's keeping me sane these days, highly recommend.

TFW you re-arrange the gallery of art for your OC, and even though you're just putting the highlights in there you realize - wow - that's a lot of art. And it's not even my only OC with art. Then again, I'm in good company...

Not doing #ECCC but spending my morning wandering around Pike Market and chatting up con folk getting breakfast before it opens for the day. Miss my days in the con circuit sometimes…

ugh

Constantly oscillating between: “I should share more of myself and connect with others” and “it sure is peaceful and easy to just hide in this hole”

You are magic ✨
