love is stored in the them

I think people *like* working. As long as you make the definition of that “performing tasks to achieve a goal”. Running is working, knitting is working, drawing is working. What people don’t like so much is working beyond reasonable capacity and getting inadequate feedback.

things adobe could do to fix their public image: - offer the option to buy software in full for a lifetime (or ten year license at minimum) - remove generative ai functions and support - offer their suite free to college students until graduation - celebrate art with more grants and scholarships

You know how people make goof posts about former gifted kids? I saw one and laughed cause ha ha jokes, yes, but I thought about how even though my junior high gifted program was actively toxic, I realized that most of what I remember of my elementary school one was that it was weird as hell

Love seeing a kids' graphic novel on your local library's website that has a gender nonconforming protagonist and it has a single half-star review BUT all 6 copies are checked out. one angry jerk < the intended audience, baby!!!

Of course, they’re not actually looking for antisemitism. They’re looking for brown immigrants who are critics of the United States and Israel’s policy and actions towards Palestine and they believe they’ve landed on a palatable reason to purge a lot of brown people from the United States.

a cyber truck pulled up next to me when I was leaving a parking lot and a man got out who looked like if a stubbed toe coached high school football

I accidentally turned on an old alarm on my phone and had a second d of wondering what "first Gatorade" meant (it was for surgery)

Adobe can go to hell Anyway, here's some alternatives

Hi #PortfolioDay hello, my name is Lauren and I do internal book illustrations and covers! Most of my current previously published work is in romance, and I I'd like to try branching out into other fiction. See more of my stuff here or at laurendombrowski.com

Con merch I will have at Flame Con 2025 including my "In Bloom" queer floriography zine and accompanying washi tape, various fanart prints, and my autobio comic zine "Obvious in Hindsight." and MORE

I also kept this picture of my first drag performance at a backyard pride/birthday party where I have an unfortunate haircut but my ass is absolutely assing

going through old photos to find old pics of my con setup from flame con 2023 and it looks like I deleted that but ☝️ I kept this picture of a snake in Times Square

Major alert: Montana may be about to pass a major anti-trans bill that charges parents with felony endangerment of a child if their child is on trans youth care. It would apply to parents just passing through the state, visiting. Would be the first law of its kind to pass anywhere. Vote is TODAY.

A world without Trans people has never existed, and it never will. More than visibility, we need safety 🏳️‍⚧️

Celebrate LGBTQ art and comics at Q CON, May 3rd 2025! It's a totally free all ages convention in WeHo, and I'll be tabling there with a whole mess of books and stickers and goodies. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL QUEERS!! Qconprism.org

how does everyone know when portfolio day is. assistance. hlep

you know that post that's like "the body tries to solve all its problems with more mucus." yeah that's me right now. pollen

Folks planning on attending SDCC who still need accommodations, help a Canadian comic artist not lose hundreds of dollars AND get yourself a sweet hotel deal! It's not safe for Fell to come to the U.S. anymore, but she's got this sweet SDCC booking to transfer to someone else.

Itchio everyone, Gumroad is dead!

not having the AI convo anymore i’m just sending people this

Here’s a list (I don’t think it’s up to date but it’s the most recent I found) of alternatives to Adobe products It’s too big to get into detail in the alt text so sorry about that!

update: they were able to pop it fully off, clean it, and pop it back on with some cement cause the tooth underneath is just fine :') wasn't as expensive as I was scared it would be either. despair averted

honestly, for #TDOV, even more than I want people checking out my comic (which is a thing I really do want!!), I want every U.S. voter to make a habit of calling their county and state reps EVERY WEEK on behalf of trans folks and fighting against anti-trans legislation

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility! What a good day to buy books and comics by trans creators, what do you think? I'll be sharing books/comics and links to buy them throughout the day, maybe links to shops as well. Feel free to share yours too!

Happy trans day of visibility 🏳️‍⚧️🩵🩷🤍 we aren’t going anywhere

if you're looking to help a trans person out, I'm raising funds for top surgery! Any and all help is appreciated (this includes sharing, etc.) as it gets closer to the date!

crown is coming off my tooth. unending despair unending despair unending despair unending despair unending despair unending despair
