Take your non horsey friend to the barn! 🐎

Even if you're fighting for your life, they'll think you're doing great!

This art of Kalypso I commissioned at AFC from @hoodiedogs.art is EVERYTHING!

Peanut butter is my favorite food and it tasted AWFUL during covid but it was good after a week again. However, a lot of foods tasted slightly off for months and my sense of smell comes and goes whenever it feels like it now even with vaccinations. Hopefully you fare well!

These fursuits are getting so realistic
at #afc2025. I almost thought this was a real cat

Sometimes i struggle through an ipad painting even though its not my favorite lol. Don't come for my anatomy, opening refs on an ipad is annoying and I'm lazy.

Portrait of a unicorn facing to the left with her head bowed. She is dark in color with a white star on her forehead and on her nose. She has a long beige horn and a tightly braided mane. Behind her are some dark teal leaves in front of an orange void.

West Side Story

Our music teacher loved the movie and the rest of the school loved it because it took place in New York (we lived right by NYC) so it was the default pick everytime they needed to plop us in front of the TV for a while and had nothing else to show us.

I think they’re just neat ✨ 🐴

Something fun I did lately was make this #plush Cinnamoroll from a SewDesuMe free pattern! I think it turned out pretty neat!

A plush version of the Sanrio character Cinnamoroll, a white puppy with blue eyes, long floppy ears, and a curly tail. It is sitting on a red couch.

So that’s the TLDR on why I’ve been off lately. I’m going to work on curating my timeline so it’s less political as the extra stress of opening bsky and seeing that on top of everything else has made me avoid this app. I’m still here though and hopefully you’ll see more of me as I work on myself 💜

Damn, okay so this year so far beside the obvious political nonsense in the US right now which is really just the icing on the cake.

In 2025 I
- hurt my wrist, rendering me unable to work without assistance for several days
- lost my job
- was basically forced to go to a different workplace

Young folks are burnt out from all the work they’re doing with nothing to show for and just want to be fairly compensated for their time.

Another post, this one of spot designs created for @godaddy.com around #Juneteenth and it's history

Vector design of a woman knitting African symbols into a quilt. The quilt is green, red, yellow, and black.

A vector design of a dark field with buildings in the background, leading into a happy, bright green field with no buildings. There is a yellow swirl leading from the gloomy field to the bright field.

Vector design of a white dove flying at sunset with an olive branch in it's beak. The sunset is formed from the red and blue color of the Juneteenth flag.

Vector design of a husband, wife, with their daughter wearing Kente cloth. The husband wears a green Kente shirt, while the wife and daughter wears a blue and yellow Kente dress.

Every Juneteenth, I like to take the financial support I receive on this day to buy myself a little treat—often in the form of a new vinyl record, but there's a purse I've been eyeballing for the past two years I wouldn't mind finally getting 😂😂

Links are below in the og post! Thank you! ✨💖
