Winding up the nerve to post this stuff that in private I call art. There will be scribbles. I can be very verbly. One might say the verbliest. Cara: https://cara.app/dalennau Instagram: instagram.com/dinodoodles GW2 Tumblr stuff: dalennaugw.tumblr.com

"it's going to be a quick doodle", I said to myself. It is not in fact, turning out to be a quick doodle. (Wip) #gw2art #sylvari

there is really going to be no option but to prosecute these people the second they are out of power if we ever want a chance to fix this country

One of my favorite lines from this talk is “when you don’t experience human problems, you can’t solve them” and I feel that summarizes why tech capitalism is so fucked.

When I was talking a lot about getting prepared for FEMA cuts and trade war, someone told me apologetically needed to mute me because it was stressful hearing about preparation they couldn't afford to do. That's a huge stress right now for ALL of us, I think-- there is no getting fully prepared.

it just clicked with me that what’s going on with the GenAI and social media bullshit getting brute forced feels like an echo of how the auto industry gummed up walkable cities and mass transport.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Disrupt them in any way that you safely can.

LOVE FOR VALENCIA. A bundle that includes 771 titles (TTRPG, video games) in Spanish, Catalan, and English, to raise funds for the victims of last October's unprecedented droughts. It's only 5€uros (roughly $5) and features: Eco Mofos, Liminal Horror, Runecairn, Lost Eons, Be Seeing You... #TTRPG

Anyone who thinks themselves an ally to the marginalized need to get the resilience to accept criticism. If you think that hurts, think about what the marginalized have to deal with every moment of their lives and the amount of privilege you have to make your empathy conditional and walk away.

on top of disney & marvel directly being complicit in the palestinian genocide - they are actively getting rid of their dei policies & programs including "reimagine tomorrow" & "disney look", deleting & getting rid of any mentions of trans storylines, & in general are awful corporations to support.

"Disney and its subsidiary Marvel are complicit in glorifying Israel's regime of genocide and apartheid against Indigenous Palestinians." it's not just about canceling & not supporting disney+. disney & marvel as a whole that should be boycotted. movies, shows, games, everything.

VO Heads Up- Please DON'T sign an #NDA without knowing anything. Before NDAs are signed, (without an agent), they need to tell you what the project media is. Example: META is casting an #AI project & being vague about it, until I asked in email. Be discerning. Trust your instincts. #voiceover

This ain't freedom.

Extremely useful artist reference. Matt is doing very important work for our community as a whole.

Listen to Linda. Note every win. Yes, even small ones. Did you pay that bill? Did you feed yourself? Did you make sure you got enough sleep? If you took care of yourself & other people as well as you could, please pat yourself on the back. Count every win, the resistance ones & the everyday ones 💚👊🏻

Please don't do this to people. If you're wondering if someone's request for help is legit, then do the research to verify instead of making or spreading accusations. Nobody experiencing hardship needs the additional trauma of being called a liar. Would you want that just because you asked for help?

I became more functional when I accepted this for myself. Sometimes it's just an easy dishes or picking up laundry day. Maybe the small step can give me momentum to do a whole room cleaning, but it's fine if not.

Rest in peace and power! ❤️🐘🔺 #RobertaFlack www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrud...

Finally watched Daima. Then I made the mistake of looking up the newer Dragon Ball stuff on wiki. I should note that I kinda stopped following it before Super started and only watched that to a point before I kinda dropped off with that, too. What even is going on with it anymore. Jesus Christ lol.

Quoting this because I think it's good to remember that we are all human, trying to do our best, and it's okay for us to be less than perfect during a very scary period for cat owners all over. I had been feeling GUILTY that I was not feeding Ari as well. And it may have saved him.

ART THEFT LABELER @arttheft.bsky.social This has the potential to make bsky so much nicer for artists and help eliminate customers from being scammed by fake artists Let me show you how it works ⬇️⬇️⬇️

SCOOP: Trump administration has been evaluating the costs of destroying or disposing of tens of millions of coronavirus tests that would otherwise be provided free to Americans. My story w/ Carolyn Y. Johnson. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Just resharing. There's a lot of families who still need help and aren't close to their goals. Please continue to share. Be sure to click the "families" tab to see. There's a businesses tab too

My friend @dutchdogstudio.bsky.social has been calling local pet stores and many of them are NOT aware of the recall! If you are in the PNW please call your local pet store if they carry this brand and let them know about the bird flu and multiple cat deaths.

For those curious about the human side of things, the Oregon Department of Health has been in touch with me and gives me daily checkins on a checklist of potential symptoms of bird flu. I also requested they run a test on me due to the contact I had with my girls' body fluids over the past week.

She's being hospitalized. She shows early signs of pneumonia and the vets do NOT know enough about progression of this virus so we will be hospitalized her for her best chance. gofund.me/4824d711 My gofundme.

It breaks my heart to share these, but I have to. My cats who caught bird flu did NOT have any sneezing, no nasal discharge, or symptoms I'd associate with the flu. Gandalf had a fever, loss of appetite, and then this weakness of hind limbs, which progressed rapidly. This is a neuro symptom.

Venmo: @kikidoodle (lion icon) Cashap: $ChristineKnoppKiki (lion icon) Paypal: @kikidoodle (friends and family please) Zelle: send a pm for info And I don't know if my vet accepts direct payments from others, plus I already paid the minimum, but I can provide their info to call.

gofund.me/4824d711 Please help me do whatever I can to save my girls, and to make sure the rest of my kitties survive. Share this link, and kiss your pets on the head and tell them how much you love them because you never know how quickly they might leave.
