I try to keep posting art but I don’t have the motivation when so much is fucked up. I’m drowning, and seeing other people below the surface makes me sink even deeper.

I agree with the sentiment that people still need art. I do.

But I can’t do it anymore and what would it matter anyway?

I try to remind myself that the burning hatred I feel towards all that is disgustingly evil, is evidence of my honest love for humanity. I’m not alone. Most of us care about each other.

But if you voted for any of the conservative politicians currently destroying everything, go fuck yourself.

Minimally shaded sketch of a woman whose face is turned away from the viewer, upper arms tied behind her back with a ribbon and bow, head and chest adorned with flowers. Her ribcage opens to a mess of tangled ribbons tied together to a bell.

ESPN’s breaking news segment will be brought to us by DraftKings.

Hope it all falls on Silver’s head for allowing gambling to become so entangled with the league.

I’m excited for the Suns’ season. :)

Fuck the colors of my art are terrible on any screen but that’s how it goes with digital format. Don’t know whether to trust my phone adjustments or calibrated laptop screen. The difference is huge.

JJacks @floracosm.bsky.social · 4d

Aww damn. These art supplies can be rough on us. :(

A fineliner sketch page from September, and a couple of parts I wanted to take a little further in Procreate. These are from memory and aren't meant to be identifiable or accurate.

A tall flower with many petals an detailed ridges, emerging from a bud attached to a stem.

Two round, blue berries still attached to the stem, with light blue flowers dangling from the top.

A collection of plant drawings showing bell shaped flowers, round flowers, large leaves of differing shapes, and fruit.

I am a decent watercolorist, but I no longer have the patience. Gouache and acrylic gouache are not working out either.

I really like POSCA and Tombows. In fact, my Tombows are mostly dry from being used. :/ But I have a unknown hang-up about using markers.

I had to give up oils because the I have an allergy to common binders and I still don’t have a large enough space for ventilation.

I can’t grip pastel sticks anymore because I have arthritic thumbs (thanks gaming).

So my two main mediums were lost and I’ve been frustrated ever since.

:0 Ohtani is a cheat code. Damn.

Him, Yamamoto, and Sasaki are just incredible talents with Yamamoto being particularly mesmerizing to watch if you like awesome pitching.

I just hate the Dodgers. Just like how I want Luka to win a ring, but he went to the fucking Lakers.

Got hammered by a microburst yesterday. Strong winds and hail, there was 0 visibility and when it cleared enough to see, the trees were down everywhere. A while ass strip mall lost its roof and people are displaced. It’s wild what a 10 minute storm can do.

Rainy Saturday and the perfect cup of tea. 💕

Working on my scarf again yay! Nearing the end of the main pattern and then I’ll make the edging, which isn’t included in the pattern, then block and (please Jess) take good photos.

*sniff* it’s ok Mercury, I’m still proud of y’all.

I always have been. 😭😭😭💕

Facing a dynasty in the making with A’ja Wilson (who many people consider the GOAT now) is a brutal task.

Been watching the MLB playoffs and the Blue Jays looked incredible nearly sweeping the Yankees. NY looked surprised and unfocused making all those mistakes failing to throw the ball quickly to tag the runners at base. I thought they would have left that in the regular season.

JJacks @floracosm.bsky.social · 16d

I haven’t been watching but I knew A’ja was gonna tear it up. I hope my Mercury can make a historic comeback or at least not get swept

He put in Escape Room: Tournament of Champions. It’s ok. It ain’t bad. Three stars.

My greatest achievement is making my husband a horror fan. He would not watch a single horror movie with me, but I got his ass with Carpenter’s “The Thing.”

He’s bugging me about watching every movie this month lol. Gonna make a jar and we each put in four movies and randomly pick one.
