#Inktober2025 Day 8: Reckless

We left a scar size extra large in calligraphy, by three circles, red yellow and green, with 1, 8, and 2 written in them. Off to the side are two cat paws, actual cat paws and not part of the drawing, because Armani didn’t like that he wasn’t the center of attention for five seconds.

#Inktober2025 day 7: Starfish

Look up the story The Star Thrower for context 💜

“It makes a difference for this one” quote from Loren Eiseley in calligraphy. Written in a star and splattered with blue watercolor.

I figured out how to make a water mark so you get a preview 🔥💜🌹

Copper, teal, and light purple abstract background with a rose pasted on top, the rose leaves are painted copper and you can see a slight outline where they shifted as they dried. The rose has purple and copper paint on it because it was used to paint the background before it was attached to the canvas.

“I am shitting my pants”

I guarantee the other person will immediately stop talking

To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.

Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert

When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.

CW for suicide

Compassion fatigue is when I’ve lost colleagues because carrying others’ pain got so bad that they couldn’t live with it anymore.

Compassion fatigue is NOT “looking at a homeless person makes me uncomfortable so let’s put them in jail.”

Ok that’s not what compassion fatigue is though (@ the person in the screen shot, not you)

Explain your username!

My name is Amy. I have a PsyD, which is a doctorate of psychology.

Thank you for asking, no one ever asks

Explain your username!

It was the first half of my old email from my first undergrad degree. The medsky part is because I work in medicine as a crit care RN. When I use evil twin, it’s because I’m an identical twin, and one of us had to be the evil one (and my clone is wicked kind & gentle!)

I'm a quadriplegic and living doll. My nickname is also Dolly.
