My website was LONG overdue for a massive revamp. I’ve added 4-5 years worth of work in just about every category, and finally organized everything in a more recruiter-friendly way! Http://www.betsybauerART.com

I feel like I was raised to be someone who was agreeable and great to work with (no fault to my well-meaning parents in the slightest), but a quality I wasn’t raised with that I want to instill in my daughter is bravery. I think that’s the number one trait this next generation is going to need.

Greta Thunberg is one of the most incredible human beings alive today

Yes!! It’s a great reminder of this truth. So often my husband and I split up if we want to go do something fun but it’s nice to realize we can all enjoy an evening outing on occasion!

Took my daughter to a wine & cheese kind of party intending to bail by 7 to get home for what was already going to be a late bedtime for her, ended up staying until 8:30, and actually had the easiest bedtime maybe ever? Is the secret to easy sleep just partying it up with my baby?

Sometimes my 8-month-old daughter will let out a tiny toot while crying hysterically, and this is how I know I truly did make her.

Dr. Jane Goodall was a remarkable individual – as a scientist, as an advocate for wildlife and wild places, and as a source of profound hope for the future of our planet. She brought such a joyful spirit and unfailing optimism to her work. #inspiration #hope #wildlife #conservation

Jane Goodall is a name I have dreaded seeing in the obituaries for a long time. May we all be so lucky to live such a long and meaningful life. 💔

After trying for a couple of years I finally made a latte art heart! Before & after the first sip pictured here since it *does* look more convincing post-sip!

Every day we wake up to new horrors and I wonder how anyone is getting anything done and not running through the streets screaming. In 2016-2019 I remember losing whole days of work for news items much less terrible than this. It’s useless to flail in despair but I hate feeling so numb!!

I am not a tea-totaler by literally ANY means, but it is so weird to me that weed is being targeted as an athletic aid. Like weed is fine, enjoy it, but it *cannot* actually make a better athlete, can it? I need to see some science backing up that it will make me a better runner.

Woof if this isn't the realest feeling as a burnt-out artist creeping into middle age 💀

I hate that AI has co-opted the sparkle emoji because I love that emoji

I really tried to avoid this, but I'm in need of help. I'm a year and a half out of full time work, and my retail gig alone can't keep me afloat. My October expenses are going to be much higher than normal.

I'm offering sketch comms over on my ko-fi for donations. thank you

lol I love how everyone assumes I am talking about myself. Talking big picture, society-wise. I agree with you on that (& do a lot of that personally!), but I think a lot of people aren’t doing that!

Yes, I have worked on an entire production that was completely virtual and we delivered an excellent show! Everyone's jobs were done well. It was a bummer to not see my coworkers on a regular basis and explore what else we could have made.

I don't think we'll agree, but I respect your perspective

It's true, it's not just men!
bauerpower.bsky.social
That is true! And I know I do those things! A lot of people unfortunately don't. My data is of course anecdotal, but it seems like the husbands of my close friends don't often seek out friendships IRL outside of work. My hypothesis is that this is contributing to the "Male loneliness epidemic"

Yeah, those after hours get togethers are so nice!!

Eff no to a 40 hour work week in the office ever again. One day with the whole team in the office would be the dream.

I disagree for the reasons stated above, but you're absolutely entitled to your opinion!! I think there are parts of working with people face to face that just cannot be replaced by Zoom.

I miss pre-2020 animation studios for so many reasons 🥲
