Just a little gnome trying to figure things out. I art/write/read and occasionally share. Into shiny click-clacks, tarot, and anything nature.
Oh, and motorcycles. Proud owner of a Ninja 500 (my dragon).

Be helpful if you can.
Be prickly when you have to.
Be someone's light in the darkness.
Be the reason a forest is considered haunted.
But most of all, be kind and stay weird.

No matter how many awful things come out of this White House, you can organize your community at the state and local level to fight back against the oligarchy.

Kudos to everyone who organized and won against Big Tech last year. Let’s keep up the fight this year and beyond.

So, Telegram is run by a Musk fanboy and now Discord is going to be raided by Vulture Capitalists
Discord filed confidentially for an initial public offering, according to people familiar with the matter, adding to a rapidly growing pipeline of venture capital-backed tech listings. bloom.bg/4plpBlz

As frustrating as my job can be I'm starting to feel a little love for the little area I oversee. Like a community sort of thing?

Which is an odd feeling with how nomadic I've been. I don't tend to put down roots.

But I'm finding when my thoughts wander to other things and moving... I'd miss them.

Are you looking for magic? Have you put it down somewhere, placed common sense on top of it by accident. Do you remember how it hummed, if it shone for you and beckoned? Can you think of a happy thought? It can be the smallest thing, like stars balanced on your fingers…

She has the ups and down of an elevator with all the buttons pressed. An oddball pretending to be serious but secretly hiding a pocket unicorn. She is a polite nod and a how are you today but in her mind she is a trapeze artist balanced far above pleasantries…

Some folks don't know the difference between "I'm ignoring the news because I want to pretend its not happening." and "I'm ignoring the news because I need to be able to function without having a depressive episode everytime I go online." and it shows.

Here's my sea slug thingger I made. Didn't want everything I do to be totally blurry. And I realized the background is technically another color so I was going off-palette.

This all may not seem like much, but after not doing hardly any art for so long, much less digital, this is huge for me.

Here's my day 3 of #paletteuary2026 (I'm always scared I'm misspelling that) that was introduced to me by @tailsteak.bsky.social

Just noodlin' and doodling. First go of it was something that looked a bit like a sea slug I'll post separately XD. It inspired the art shown in the art. :3

@tailsteak.bsky.social you got me in!

Here's my day 2 #paletteuary2026 (since I missed day 1 of #paletteuary, may catch up later. Maybe).

Just playing around since I'm still not used to digital media, but it was fun!

Today's #Paletteuary OC: Kantor, my anthro unicorn fella, looking for a midnight snack. (Reminder: as with last year, I'm gonna be doing a sketchy thumbnail for each day in #Paletteuary2026, then having a vote on Feb 1 for which one I should render into a full piece!)

Do you have a somewhat guilty pleasure song? I do. It's a bop and I groove to it every time.

Yes, I'm planning on doing #Paletteuary again this year, but with a twist - I'm gonna do a scribbly ten-minute thumbnail with each palette, then, on Feb 1, let people vote which one I clean up into a proper illustration... but this time, they'll all feature one of my characters!

Good morning~

I splurged and got some @thelatestkate.bsky.social calendars. This one is from the desktop paper tear-of version.

All in a desperate hope to keep me on track. XD

I'll try to share these now and then in case anyone else could use a little pick-me-up.
