I’m from MS!

I’m not banned yet but I’m sure they’ll get around my VPN eventually.

I’ll do what I can to fight it, but CALL YOUR REPS. Don’t let similar laws take hold in your state if you can help it.

Ok EU folks? You gotta do your own version of contacting your reps, or whatever equivalent, and yelling at them about this

So now that Denmark holds the EU presidency, theyre pushing Chat Control back onto the European Parliament again. That means breaking encryption & automatically scanning & flagging all private communications online.

EU fam, contact your reps:
fightchatcontrol.eu

The EU still wants to scan all your chats – and the rules could come into force by October 2025

Chat Control is back on the lawmakers' table

Been listening to a lot of music from y2k era lately.

Two birds with one stone:
Needed a little chibi practice and wanted to draw myself for once.

Doing this without vectors has been quite the experience for such a small drawing.

Burnout is clinically understood as a combo of 6 factors—work overload, lack of control, insufficient rewards, breakdown in community, absence of fairness, & value conflicts—and only a fraction of it is under your control. Burnout is a systemic problem, so be kind to yourself and hard on the system.

Hey gang I've had to learn recently that the whole "burning out" thing is real so if you find yourself being panicked every waking second that you're not working on something, despite those seconds being very rare, you should maybe listen to the signals and take an intentional break before you crash

I’d do them more if I had a bit more time in the day to reset my head. But I adore them.

Screwing around with screentone brushes on an older unfinished drawing after I broke one of ‘em.

Named the character Yarrow but completely forgot any other notes other than he’s a dramatic lizard loosely based on a golden tegu.

There’s a fuckton of foliage and whatnot left to tie it in.

Just hard to turn the brain off and chip at it. Just been a really long time since I let my traditional training just show itself.

“Heathens” aims for it but time is a bitch you know.

It lives in my drawer at work to remind me that I DO know stuff even if my brain lags on the application, haha. 😅

Fine, you all have tickled my neurons enough, I’ll share a personal piece I’ve picked up and put down several times.

The brain isn’t always happy to play along so I can just finish it but it does know its shit when it works.

I’m literally sitting on about 60 WIPs (give or take like 3).

And that’s just for my Heathens passion project with my bf.

Damn you 9-5!

The ink yearns to finish them all eventually.

Doesn’t mean I’m giving up on doing the bigger stuff, just wanting to draw instead of going MIA productivity wise.

My job absolutely consumes my hours, and ADHD/PTSD doesn’t play fair.

STILL I desire to create. It makes me happy.
