Been having an uptick in sales of this Cat Yelling Trans Rights shirt design lately so I guess maybe I ought to share it here. A small portion of each sale goes to a trans person (me) www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/6942...

I wish I could control what my brain hyperfixates on. I wish I could point at a project and say "fixate on THIS." Instead my brain goes lmao and chooses a cunty twink from a dressup game and won't let me think about anything else. Why.

Both I and my WoL tagged that necklace immediately. That sure is a shiny new plot device you're wearing, Thancred

Suddenly I love this Short King. 82.7% sass by volume. Can we get more of this guy, there's no way they gave Tan Youyou an outfit that complex for him to be just a background character

Aggressively points at Elora, the star of every game I've ever played that let me make my hero

Heads up for crafters: Great American LLC has won the bid for Joann. They’re a liquidator, so ALL Joann stores will be closed by end of May. Stock up on everything NOW and if you have an independent fabric store near you, start using it 😢

Pour one out for my faithful art PC. After 10+ years, it seems it's finally done. I can't get it to give me anything beyond the HP logo. Just a black screen.

this person said it so good so here it is

trouble 💖

Looking into making some big life changes this fall, if I can figure out how to make it happen. I'm equal parts excited and cautious, which is probably a good place to be.

Tallied up all my expenses from my ER visit in October. About $3,000 altogether. Woof.

A tarot reader I know told me something interesting today. All over the nation, "intuitive" people (psychics, tarot readers, etc) are all reporting an overwhelming feeling that Trump will be out of office by the summer. I don't put a lot of stock in that kind of thing, but man, I want to believe.

PF going up!!

TONIGHT at 8:30pm EST! Chaos raid blind first time run! In PF! On Crystal!! If you haven't had a chance to try the new Chaos raid yet, here's a chance to give it a try!! Spread the word :D #ffxiv

Hey #ffxiv crew, this Friday (Valentines Day) I plan to host a PF for anyone that hasn't tried the new Chaos raid yet and wants to go in blind! Current plans are for 8pm EST on Crystal/Mateus.

Had some fun pairing a crew neck cat shirt with a vneck sweater today

Stay curious about the world. If something seems interesting to you, learn more about it. Don’t live your life in perpetual training for a career. The world will always need specialists, but society is changing so quickly that most of us will be doing some job we’ve never heard of 5 years from now.

Very good advice to find after a day of doomscrolling

My ER expenses from October are gonna total over $1,000. I am extremely thankful to be in a position where I can afford to pay it, but it's going to take a chunk out of my savings. I might open a few commission slots to make some of it up, since I'm topped out on availabile hours at my day job.

Warning anyone who uses paypal for business Starting feb 1st Paypal will dox you if someone can correctly guess your email. Log into paypal go to your invoice settings and change all the info to "Hide From Recipients" www.paypal.com/invoice/s/se...

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

When companies do this, get loud about it. Cancel your Target card if you have one, and tell them why. Fill out surveys and let them know you refuse to shop there. Don't just shake your head and go "ugh, another one."

I do think it’s important.

So happy to be finding my Jak and Daxter community on Bluesky ♥

This was meant to just be a doodle but it got out of hand? First art of 2025! (Jak and Daxter)

I have another surprise day off because the roads are still treacherous with slush and ice, so I'm drawing instead of being a lump. Drawing is hard. Being a lump would be so easy. But sometimes the hard thing is the right thing.

Snow day!!

It's snowing! Only happens once a decade here. Gonna enjoy the brief winter while I can.

Okay that's it for the art spam today. I'll probably be posting more old art later but I'll space it out.

It's you! Despite everything, it's still you. (Jak and Daxter)

Fast lives and high crime I'm only here for a night, pass the neon lights yeah I've traveled too far to go back to the place that I started (Jak and Daxter)

There are a lot of things about the future that Jak and Daxter could do without. Coffee is not one of them.
