I hope you’re all enjoying this descent into madness.

The important thing to remember is what while I can’t sing, neither can eels, so this little jingle is very scientifically accurate.

So please. Get an eel facts advent calendar. You don’t have to wait until Christmas for eels. EelFacts.Net

Drum teacher: what are your goals?
Me: uhh!
Me (internally): funnel my bottomless boiling rage into something healthier than this frothing bottle at the center of my soul
Me: idk! Play along to songs I guess! lol!

Ok just booked my first drum lesson for when I get home. Hoping it helps me process the anger I have at the current state of the world in a more productive way lol.

We do XS-4X, but not tall specifically. We get these printed locally so don't have quite as much flexibility as the drop shippers.

I'm doing another print run of these "Biology is Bigger than Binaries" shirts!

Back, quite literally, by popular demand. Bullying works, sure, but so does a bunch of nice cutie patooties politely asking!

Order 'em now, I'll mail 'em in early November.

a woman with short bown hair, glasses, and tassel earrings, wears a purple KN95 and looks cool as hell in her biology is bigger than binaries shirt, in orange

a woman with green glasses takes a selfie lookin' cool as hell in her pink biology is bigger than binaries shirt. She's also got ice cream, that lucky dog.

a woman with long brown hair and glasses hangs out in the back yard with her pink biology is bigger than binaries shirt

A man with a hat and sunglasses stands in hero-pose with his biology is bigger than binaires shirt (orange)

I crave that shit. "You put these things too close together and it's making my head hurt" "This thing you're doing with the background is distracting".

Often I'm like "I know this sucks but idk why it sucks"

I got a lot of ... I don't want to say HARSH per se, but honest, constructive, no-filter feedback when I went through science school and I miss that. I want constructive criticism on art stuff and feel bad bothering my 2 designer friends who will actually give it to me over and over 😅

I absolutely cherish one of my best friends from HS, bc when I'm like "lol weird, someone is going to hire me to do something I think I'm mid-at-best in", most people will be like "No way! You're great!", & she'll be like "Lol did they get you mixed up with some other Sarah?" & I love her for that.

If I'm allowed, I'm in. Especially if there's a place to critique each other's shit/punch-up designs. I can't do that here because I don't want to hear from randos, I want to hear from people who know wtf they're doing.

Thank you! She can even request you specifically and as long as you're in the system without timing mismatches it'll pair you up!
