Luna rolled in the wet grass in the back yard during Potty Time and is very, very stinky. This is probably the worst effect of the storm thus far. Bath for the gremlin once the storm passes. (She till got a goodnight kiss though.) #DogsOfBsky #stinky

A black fluffy dog is sleeping on a dark purple bed. She has white fur on her nose, chest, and paws, and black toe beans. Because smell-o-vision is not a thing yet, you don't have to smell her Wet Long Haired Dog Stank, but I assure you it is very potent. She doesn't seem to notice.

The remnants of #HurricanePriscilla knocked over our basketball hoop. Thankfully it missed the cars in the driveway and nobody was outside. Safe and dry, still got power, but the air pressure has absolutely destroyed my stupid joints (ow) so art is on hold until I stop hurting yay #ChronicPain

#Slowtober prompt 2 was "Weave," so of course I had to draw Hornet. Used a silver glitter pen for the silk but it came out a bit darker than I thought it would. Oh well.

I gotta say, while it sucks having your diagnosis turned into a political buzzword, the autistic community is getting some major milage out of Tylenol jokes.

"My mom took Tylenol PM so my autism only comes out at night."

Just about snorted gatorade out of my nose, thank you

I swear I'm gonna do inktober or drawtober or whatever it is, I'm just really struggling with depression demons and problems that make it hard/painful to sit. So not today.

The struggle bus really should have a rewards program. #chronicillness

... although it probably would be very hard to write an entire show script that way. It'd be great though. Keep 'em guessing. Rage bait the dummies who care more about what's going on in a fictional person's overalls than the real world.

Then again, could just be my messed up sense of humor.

Hear me out: I kind of think it would be HILARIOUS if Frankie's gender/pronouns were never actually spoken/confirmed in the show. It's just a MYSTERY but nobody brings it up because HOLY SHIT BLUE BABIES and they have bigger fish to fry. It would piss off the transphobes soooo much. I would cackle.

I also wanted to be an animator. But my very first animation prof was a verbally abusive piece of work. He told me "This is how the industry is, and if you can't handle it, you'll never make it" and unfortunately I suspect he was right, at least about the industry part... changed majors lol

I wouldn't be surprised if there is. They're DEFINITELY taking shots at a certain animation-based megacorporation, which I absolutely LOVE (esp. for Dana, sweet revenge!). Waiting eagerly for episode 2.

Man I sure do love it when my condition/disability/entire way of existing is reduced to a political buzzword for the profit of the 1% in charge of the nation! (Spoiler, for those who think autistics can't do sarcasm: That was sarcasm.)

A black fluffy dog is hiding in the shadows under a wooden desk. All you can really see are two reflective red laser eyes.

Luna Appreciation Post. What she does not know is that she's the biggest reason I keep fighting my depression and chronic illness demons. She saves my dumb life just by existing. I owe this goober so much and all she wants in return is belly rubs and cheese.
People do not deserve dogs.

Hits a little different when your sister works on campus, is all I'm going to say about that. She's safe but... yikes on trikes.

Side Note 2: I had no idea we even had a Wisdom Panel for her until I found it buried in her Banfield profile. Apparently this was done as part of their puppy package. I'd LOVE to see who her relatives are... but Stepdad took the login to his grave, so we may have to jump through email/proof hoops.

Side note: Been tagging her with #pomchi because that's what the breeders told us she was and I believed it for years... she does still have pom and chi so can I still use that tag or...?
