An old Gaia Online friend reached out to me recently and that motivated me to search through my old art folder. I usually keep it on a separate drive so I don't see the work there much. I wanted to share it since I'm still happy with how the sign looks and I remember this piece being a challenge.

My current stress reaction to exams is intense cravings for the shitty, greasy diner food I'm going to reward myself with when these are done.

Denny's, brace yourself.

I'm no longer trying to do cropped everything, I demand being wrapped in as many layers in public as I can get away with. I want inspiration for Winter Peasant Chic.

As much as I love the promo that my program co ord does I’m not loving how that one photo straight up focuses on the bald spot/how thin my hair gets on the top of my head.

Like I say, my hair is a constant WIP.

All I want is to learn the fundamentals of economics without my economics teacher saying he hates Trudeau and without my textbook saying rent control is hamstringing the housing market.

Just because I'm learning the rules of capitalism doesn't mean I have to assume a position of A Bastard...right?

The amazing and lovely @megzilla87.bsky.social offered to draw the cover for my 3rd #dnd #zine and I couldn't be happier with the result! Check out her socials to see more fantastic work.

I go to get my usual brain drugs:
Without student insurance: $50
With student insurance: $5

Up until I paid tuition I was just another unemployed person.

If these drugs are someone's linchpin to supporting themselves then why aren't we caring more about affordable medication?

TFW you finish a week of school and you look around and say 'yes, I am in the right place and this is where I should be right now'.

Don't get me wrong, some of my profs are wackos but this what happens when no one goes to teachers college.

Is it an asshole move to think that as long as you've raised your kids in such a way to function enough in the world to hold down a job and pay for therapy to fix what you missed is ok?

Oh budgeting software, you do love boldly showing me just how much I spend per month on takeout, coffee, and yarn stuff.

My first semester has a total of 15-18 hours of classes each week, and I can't help but laugh at how many MORE hours I have ever spent on work in the average work week. More bc ani.

Gods help me have humility about not being in an ani studio this Sept.

Last week I submitted my resignation at work, and accepted my offer at Humber, and for the first time in YEARS I felt Excited <3

Hot take: Inside Out 2 is just retreading Turning Red in that they're both anxious preteen girl coming of age stories.

I've been alone in a room working for four years and for two of them, it's been with a department that's virtually silent on a show that's overbearing

Wtf is this shit, no wonder I'm on meds.

Printer, we have been in this stand-off for 6 months, and I barely print things. Let's see where this goes.

Alright brain, you'll get your mental health day next week when the deadlines won't be so crunched.

Today's negative: Didn't start working until 4pm, just wrapped up work now.

Today's positive: my friends are collecting onion skins for me and I'm thrilled.

Me: *reading about local textiles and fibre mills, classes on sheep shearing, establishing small farms, degrees in agriculture, the Fibershed movement-*

Life: Hey - you're depressed, wanna go outside?

Me: ...* - plant based dyes.....and SSRI studies.*

Life: When did you last shower?

Me: ... >:I

It's been one of those days where I look around at the wasteland that is the current ani and VFX industry and I'm wondering when the ground under me will finally crumble.

My heart wants facial jewellery but cold weather, allergy season, and my complete inability to never not be touching my face have teamed up against it.

The Zone of Interest (2023) - Jonathan Glazer

I can't handle movies about the Holocaust, and a lot of people will call this boring AF, but this was exactly how you present it to me so I'm not traumatized. I'm still horrified, but in a way that motivates me to help make sure it never happens again.

Dreaming of yarn stuff for 2024 and damn guys, I really like fibre.
