I still love this photo and wish I could pull off this vibe 24.7. And also in a cute outfit.

I'm so in love with @wintonkidd.com 's Daisy. The art, the colors, the soft, the smut. I wish I was her! Been using her as a Discord profile pic but I think I should find an artist with similar tastes and styles for something personal, hm.

it's only a small glimmer of light in this sunless dystopia of enshittification, but in case anyone doesn't already know this, the Duck2 search engine can play youtubes in a special window that strips the ads, and has a setting that disables AI slop in both general + image search results #blessings

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

I need someone to fight for me. I wish I could set everything down, let the big decisions get handled, just be background noise while someone else drives the truck.

Just left a meeting where it felt like we met the team that’s replacing us. I truly despise the amount of anxiety this job carries with it. Need other work. Now. Please. So many resumes sent with no call backs already though. 🫠

And whining about this in the middle of the beginning of the end. Everything feels so hollow.

I need adult support and help and community. Today I drove kiddo to school, now I’m at work, then I pick them up and take them to after school art, then I can maybe do chores or maybe paint for an hour and then pick them up again. I just wanna also do stuff that isn’t chores work Uber 😪

Serious Question for Artist Friends: How's your platform for tracking Commissions? Been thinking of putting something together to help my partner track time, materials, patterns, and eventually invoicing, billing, client updates/communications. Saturated market or everything's stupid complex?

I think it's great when small weird projects grow and make money but it's more inspiring when people continue to do a small weird thing for free if only because it sets a radical example that one can measure success in terms other than the accumulation of money and fame, even in the long term.

I hope I live long enough to see the pendulum swing back to kindness and hope because I just can't fathom how this level of hatred and selfishness is sustainable.

My PCP has to send in a referral for couples counseling. That’s how fucked up our insurance system is. This isn’t even medical! This doesn’t even involve my PCP! It is a waste of her time! They can’t even give us drugs! Burn it all down (for way better reasons than that one, but that one too).

Hey @dropout.tv / @samreich.bsky.social - I know nothing about this big kid shit, but seems like an excellent opportunity (that should be done anyhow cause fuck Netflix) to court some shows and writers.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

No one plays San Antonio. 😩 I'll be going to Austin for HEALTH, Lights, and now maybe All Them Witches.

I think part of it is because we don't have good small/mid venues, and since we're an hour and a half from Austin, we all just drive there anyhow. We have half a mil more people too. 😭

Maybe when I get paid on Friday, I go to the strip club so someone can pretend they're interested before I have my scheduled breakdown in the tub.
