Currently re-watching the movie Bright (the modern fantasy movie with Will Smith). I love this movie, but I hate streaming, so its extremely rare that I get to see it. I really, really, really wish streaming services would sell physical media too 🙄 Its so frustrating

The right to read belongs to all of us, but rights only survive when we defend them. ALA is standing with library workers, parents, and readers to push back against censorship. You can donate to support our work at ilovelibraries.org/1984.

Censorship is so 1984, but supporting libraries is so 2025.

I don't know if I can even work full-time outside of home, but I've done a ton of personal work over the past few months and I hope if I can just take it easy, keep at a steady pace, consider accommodations, maybe I'll be fine. Its impossible to say, and scary. Such is life I guess. /life update

I think a full-time "normie" job (hopefully in the sciences) will be best to keep me on track and not overdo it. I'll have to wait and see if I can sustainably do something like Patreon, comics, etc at the same time. (Also I wrote a book over the past few weeks, and am onto a second one...)

I've known since I was a kid that I probably have OCD, and my doctor put me on Zoloft in the past but I didn't like the meds so I quit. Its so mixed in with all of my other problems its whatever. But I WILL work myself to death (literally), so I need to be careful going forward with work, that's all

My main focus is finding a job. Once job is obtained, I want to formulate a balanced, healthy life with all of my accommodations. Turns out I most likely have OCD, which is the reason for being a workaholic, so I have to be extremely careful with work-related things, including if I return to Patreon

I'm currently reading "Sacred Economics" by Charles Eisenstein and "The Good War" by Seth Klein and I'm shookethed that a) things have sucked for a very long time, and b) we absolutely could fix it all if we really wanted to. Its both disheartening and uplifting

I haven't been in the mood to draw b/c of the state of the world BUT I've been reading a ton of books about economics, politics, history, lgbtq+, etc, and following tons of similar pages on social media and I'm feeling better with timelines full of smart, progressive people! There is hope (I think)

I HAD to get up at midnight last night to draw Mass Effect fan art and cry at reaction vids, which broke my 2 month hiatus from drawing weirdly enough... I love these games

It's finally time for Skinktober!

What's that? No, I'm pretty sure it was never called anything else.
#art 🦢

a digital painting of a juvenile five-lined skink sitting on a decorative pumpkin. it is surrounded by vine and leaves. the lizard is striped lengthwise down its body in white and black, transitioning to a bright blue tail about halfway down. the colors have been very saturated, and the shapes are abstracted to be rigid angles.

How about some 1814 art by Hokusai?!
It’s worlds classics and it’s monster fucking btw.

What about that bsky?

The dream of fisherman’s wife by Hokusai depicts a woman being eaten out by a giant octopus

it's crazy that being like "how do i explain gay couples to my kids?" isn't an unthinkably embarrassing to say in 2025. it's actually incredibly easy to explain, that should be like indignantly saying "how am I supposed to explain to my kids where the sun goes at night? did a bird steal it?!"
