It's nice to see that Microsoft is also participating in their own boycott

probably bad to go to a protest if you are getting a strong warning from your throat that it must be a vocal rest day to avoid injury, huh? blehhhh Unionize tech and gaming ✊🏻 kick out the billionaire who doesn't even know how pop-tarts work

I have played the new Tom Cardy songlet no less than 12 times today

all I have done art-wise (both visual & performance arts) since last week is shit that makes me feel vulnerable and insufficient, and I would instead like to do something that makes me feel confident and secure instead of continuing to struggle anyway, back to growing through this

...yeah, I ordered the Fuzzie "✨I'm a captain now ✨" print to put on my "things that remind me positively of working at Slack" wall

Magical thinking, that if a “good mom” tries really REALLY hard, she’ll be able to personally know the right steps to make her child safe. And prosperity gospel, where if she “fails” by the child experiencing hardship, they deserve it bc she didn’t try hard enough.

one really interesting thing about doing MATILDA in the 2020s is that, ever since the invasion of Ukraine, MTI now directs you to change the Russian mobsters to be Bulgarians even the song in Russian language at the end is now translated to Bulgarian!

Here’s your daily reminder that as a creative person you can create a world where mice can drink cocktails 💜

Toriel loves a work-at-computer day

WE DON'T WANT MUSCLES! WE WANT A FUCKED UP FACE, REACH, FLEXIBILITY, AND A GOOD SNIPERS EYE AND I'M TIRED OF EXPLAINING IT

oh i am already obsessed w her

I love my immunologist, everybody and another clean bill of health inmune-wise, I don't have an increased shingles risk, and we're checking pneumo titers again (which might actually be better than they were 10 years ago, bc I get some random antibodies though IgG infusions!)

I love my echo chamber where everyone values the humanity of other people and enjoys the arts.

samsung updated their phone UI overnight and forced a new and ugly design on me, please send condolences and brownies

I know it's not the most important thing here but this story also corroborates one of my biggest theories about these tech guys: they do zero hours of work in a day. They do no work no matter how much they claim to work 14 hours a day. They're just on their phones.

i’m not an artist, i’m not an illustrator, but a stupider third thing: i’m a cartoonist

Everyone watching Pierre Poilievre eat absolute shit in Carleton and respecting Canada's bilingual culture.

We're getting pizza and I'm obsessed with this slightly broken mural that used to be about eating with your hands but now it reads like Saruman's manifesto

weird vyvanse thing: since finding my best dose, I can't listen to podcasts in the car anymore because I'm too focused on the road I mean, I'm glad the road has my focus! ofc I want to be a safe driver... but anyway wow I'm behind on all my audio and may need to cut back on my subs 😅

Found two episodes of a Christian TV Show produced in Canada in the 70s and 80s called Circle Square. This episode is about swearing.

I spent the morning in Lincoln Park with Nature Journaling Club and it was restorative

These guys took their famous catchphrase from my comic but ok www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

It’s a good day to be a Michigan Ave tulip 🌷

I have an important story to tell and I don't think I should keep it to myself. 🧵: (1/4)

danger danger high gender

this is true

yeah that tracks 🍰

spent the day at my mom's house 50 miles away (in congested & rainy highway driving) and I was gonna draw tonight cause I'm so far behind (on a deadline absolutely nobody is tracking but me) but now that I'm home I'm just exhausted and want another Friday

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

Happy little orcs.
