Aaron is in the Marketplace all weekend at #Midwestfurfest!

He'll have new prints, our patches, stickers, and of course *COMMISSIONS*, the real reason we are here. You can find him at A32 #mff #furfest #furry
Been quiet online clearing up my #commission queue for #midwestfurfest this weekend! Also got some new #oc prints I'm itching to show off.

Not Wells Fargo wanting *8* paystubs and my lease agreement to confirm the address they sent my card to, that I activated.

And you think they have a portal to upload those documents? Or an email? NOPE. Physical mail or fax only. First experience with them and jfc actually the worst already.

Is anyone else not able to see their "discover" tab posts or really search? Suddenly I can't see anything except what I am already following 🤔assuming it is a bug but?

Occasionally I remember I'm about to turn 40 and it is so odd to consider. Not because I have any issue with aging(I love it, I want to do it for a loooong time) but because in my mind 40 always looked a certain way. My life and myself just don't look how I pictured, and that is ok, but also weird.

The sound I made when I saw health insurance quotes on Pennie for next year being $1200/month to keep our doctors.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

I just found out Dr. Goodall passed away. She had an incredible impact on me growing up. I was fortunate enough to meet her & get almost an hour of one on one time with her. When I'm in a bad place, I hear her say I have a rainbow in me. I'm so thankful to have lived when you did, and I'll miss you.

I was today years old when I learned that this drawing, the first one my dad taught me, was related to resistance, and that makes me hard so proud.
Heads up to all the #AltCitizens out there!

Using either sharpies on objects, or sharpies on labels to make stickers, we can spread this message of resistance.

Safely take a post pictures. Make sure to wipe Metadata and no identifying pics. If you don't want to share yourself, DM me.

Part of Migraine for me is that postdrome phase sometimes it takes me a couple minutes to understand a word/images/etc. I know that the thing is in my memory bank, but the delivery system can't get it to the output. Every time this happens im like,"is this the time it doesn't go back to normal"

I have notes in a journal from 2010 of character scent profiles I was building and never used and now I'm like...do I finally do the thing. I've always had a hang up where I wanted people to want the candle because it is a good candle and not just the label art
🫤 I'm bad at capitalism.

Toonfusion's lineup was a motivator to finally make some chara candles. I've avoided doing charas, I worry my impression won't be what people want, but I enjoyed the researching & visualizing for these quite a bit. #hazbinhotel #angeldust #husk #alastor #lucifer #huskerdust #radiodust #radioapple

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

Tangentially related to studio stuff: it is really frustrating to try and work with financial orgs and have them be like,"lol you both make too little and too much for us to provide any relief even though we have progs in place, kick rocks". The US financial systems are, in the colloquial, fucked.

Aaron literally giggles while working on commissions lately, especially the #furry pieces. Commissioners are out here sparking joy and I love them so much.
Kibblebrick Bucklerock's a #dnd #kobold that's had some very... explosive adventures.

If you're scrolling through your feed and an artwork makes you stop scrolling - or heck you scroll back up to have another look... something meaningful is happening. You're having a ✨️moment✨️ with that artwork. It's so special when this happens! But more importantly... let the artist know! 😁
