Why apply for a job that you do not want? Why suggest ai as a solution for the position that you haven't researched in any way? I was following up on job applicants, trying to be kind and ask for their portfolios. Dude has no interest in the job. why do ux designers apply for non-ux design jobs?

Finished ceramics from class. I'm back at it in 2 weeks. ❤️ cannot wait. I still REALLY want to make an open mouth Kirby sponge dish for my kitchen.

Some ceramics before firing. Lovely to see love for my sprinkles cup last post.

My first usable mug from my pottery class. I'm so excited to learn wheel techniques next semester. "semester" (i am not in school -- it's such a low key class after work). Mad props to my husband for shuffling schedules with me so I can do silly shit like make stuff with clay.

It’s just bread (complimentary)

I drew this a while ago. Returning to drawing for me when I have the capacity. #kawaii #cuteart #kawaiiart #illustration #rainbow

To all the therapists listed on psychology today or headway, why the hell are tou listed if you don't respond to the contact form emails? It's so hard to find a therapist and being able to fill in the form is half the damn battle. Being ghosted blows.

I'm just a small artist trying to sell my art and merchandise. For me, the best part about being an artist is making people happy. Tariffs and customs are not my expertise. Please add any notes or corrections. I've been trying my best to research. I just want more awareness for a push back 🔸(4/4)

I'm not alone. This goes beyond the art community. Even prices on personal purchases from another country for clothing, collectibles, skincare and EVERYTHING could drastically increase just to get it through customs. Tariff increases has affected us for months, but this makes it much worse! 🔸(3/4)

I CAN'T OPEN MY STORE RIGHT NOW. I'm not alone. This affects all international artists running their small shops around the world. 90% of my sales are to the US. I'm not alone. EVEN artists in the US will feel it as they rely on purchasing merchandise from abroad. Prices will have to rise.🔸(2/4)

I'm scared that a huge issue is not being aware: On Aug 29th the US is removing the de minimis rule on all packages. Being international, de minimis meant no one payed tariffs on my goods since it was under $800. Now there will be a $80-200 fee to receive my art. Even for a $5 sticker. 🔸(1/4)

DK go smash. I really needed to smash things this weekend. I completed that hole digging game and now I can just dig the entire level of this banana finding game.

Lol 😅

If the word "inclusion" makes your ass mad, I'm sorry for you. Go relearn that shit at your nearest Kindergarten, if it hasn't already been defunded and whatnot.

I built a Playstacean!

@umactually.bsky.social Um Actually, the creators of Pusheen are American, not Irish. Get off my deviantArt lawn.

why do recruiters or employers bother contacting you about a job without disclosing compensation? y'all really expect me to set up an interview without knowing if the pay is comparable to my current position? wild.

For those of you desperately in need of distraction from today's headlines, here's a photo of a bunny & a chick who are friends.

Just hear me out

My little collection of mostly trash factory Blythes, hanging out on their own little shelf. They need furniture...

I bought little baby friends in the form if @zambicandy.bsky.social art! So lovingly packed up. Thanks, Zamzam -- your babies will decorate my work stuff :B

Gals being pals or whatever. I worry about ruining the plastic of the girly to the right if I do a faceup. Even tho she deserves more than factory Blythe realness. I think she's my fav right now, even in her ali express glory. #blythe

Today I realized that I started knitting 10 years ago and crocheting 28 years ago. I hear these are long bits of time. Feels like a blip. O_O

I worked on this kit. Designed the Autoloom logo, mega mighty loom logo, packaging, and projects. Glad to see it hit shelves at some Targets out there.

When you start telling your life story to the nurse at urgent care instead of telling them your current symptoms >_>

deleted all instagram content. deleted tiktok account. deleting facebook account. feels good.

One thousand hostages being released by Israel. One fucking thousand. 33 by Hamas. Tell me again, Washington, who the fucking bad guys are in this scenario.

oh hello *o*

My relationship with Big wasn’t the only thing I blew up that day. At the Trinity test site I detonated the first plutonium bomb, unleashing a 22 kiloton blast. Had I become Death, destroyer of worlds? Meanwhile uptown, Samantha had her hands full with her own “Manhattan project”

"Dolores, your baby is in the salad again"

Barrett is the best ornament.

This brought me right back to the anxieties of those early months. Used to listen so closely to the monitor. Used to check in on daycare cameras multiple times a day. Wild, 3 and a half years on, to be wondering "Is my kid sleeping in her closet? At least she's probably sleeping..."

The elf in my kid's classroom is named Chicola Hotdog. 3 year olds do love the idea of an inept elf weirdo watching them. Just a total mess of a mini person floating around the classroom. Doing my best to casually undermine the surveillance lore tho.

dinosaurs dinosaurs!

I'll never understand the popularity of elf on a shelf or focusing on santa giving things to "good" children. Stop using north pole elves to threaten your kids into wanted behavior. Threaten them yourselves, you lazy sods.

This is the part where I say onomatopoeia the word is the sound that it makes

The other day i asked my kid if her dad was a pokemon what would his name be? She said No-no. What about Ruthie? (our cat) She said Ro-ro. What would my name be? She said Squoitle.

face up on blyths

Welcome to the illustrious CBB First-Timers club, James Acaster! Make sure to check out his new special “Hecklers Welcome.” Then, impresario Mrs. Lyndhurst comes from old money and concerned citizen Ricky Johnson is stuck in another dang time loop!!

Is the conservative argument really "I'm tired of being kind?" "I'm tired of faking empathy"? Wilding out on main. have seen multiple posts/messages go "phew, don't need to care anymore. tired of tolerating you people" o_O with the implication being various identities.

mourning for the loss of my daughter's freedom. idk if i can deal with my mom and brothers again knowing they ushered in a new hell with their votes.

My daughter and I met a friendly neighborhood cat while trick or treating. Here's to you, fluffy pumpkin cat!

“Sorry I am gonna miss my deadline this week bc of unending dread”

My daughter has no idea this just became a 2 cat household again.

I miss the social media of decades past. 2010-ish before non-chronological feeds and ypu could find community organically. It's likely i'll delete most spcial media apps off my phone this year and disappear into meat space to face making real friends again.

I have 1 more family gossip story today that makes me laugh and also makes me go "fuck youuuu". My aunts and uncles were always super salty about my dad buying a 2 seater Corvette. Tbh, I was too. But it was in 1997 and I learned to make my peace with that shit.
