bought a print by an artist i'm obsessed with rn and it was the VERY LAST ONE after me visiting the online store again wistfully not expecting them to sell out so quick <3 i feel successful in the luckiest sense like i've just physically fought ppl for it (sry to the 3 folx who had it added to cart)

there is a sense of liberation in never posting abt my life to instagram stories anymore because nobody on insta deserves to know how cool i am irl anymore (/j my head isnt that far up my ass but its how it Feels)

as much as i still love mcr them re-releasing danger days on vinyl exclusively for spotify listeners is such a sellout move and i am disappointed :( ofc this is on top of them charging insane prices for concert tickets and selling the tixs in a predatory way (selling 1 day after announcing tour)

have had a fringe almost my whole life & thinking abt how in high school everyone said to me "lol i had a fringe like yours in kindy" implying i looked childish. and now suddenly everyone has or wants "bangs"

static dress was success btw :) got barricade got setlist got heaps of merch and also felt cool in my outfit 👍

god damn it i want some new hecking art prints. i should have gone to tokyo alley. i did not. i am a silly girl. as much as i love my print wall. it needs an overhaul wtf

i always require the neurodivergent single seat on the bus now and i'm very uncompromising about it

THEYRE IN PERTH!!!!! olli stop giving evil mining companies free pr /j

i wanna get a pic with them so much and i'm going to buy all of their merch. all of it. self reminder to bring a spare tote bag

i'm going to lose my MIND when i see static dress tn

why are there so many little pictures of mclusky online

okay but why do so many "children's authors" write books that are basically for adults but just feature kid characters (so they can call it children's lit)???? i see so many bleak, maturely themed books targeted towards kids yet no actual kids reading them. n yeah maybe that's a parenting issue

in august it will have been a year since i closed my spotify account & i have honestly thrived as a music listener without it. like seriously Finding music and building your collection is part of the fun & experience regardless of whether it's vinyl, cd, or digital download (bc then u can burn it..)

got such a good haul at the record store today u wouldn't even believe

i love spikes... now i am going to have two tattoos that are a tribute to spikes. i may get a third.. Would be hilarious if all my tattoos just ended up having a spiky theme

Started writing. At 8pm. Suddenly 2am? What the fuck

thinking about the thylacine this morning....

A page from my latest comic, Third Act 💋⛓️ you can read the first 7 pages on my patreonnnn

me when i realise i'm writing a comic involving two (2) taboo topics and how scary that actually is but at least i'm striving to go about it respectfully and carefully 😇

people using their phones whilst walking is becoming one of my pet hates bc they are usually doing one or both of the following: a) being a slow walker b) lacking complete awareness of their surroundings which means they'll walk into you!!!!!!!

The four horsemen of the apocalypse

not to sound bitter bcs i love goth stuff but i feel that one specific tiktok copy paste style of "trad goth" makeup will become mass percieved as uncool or tasteless very soon because everybody on the internet and their mother is doing it now

capyberus

one may be irish....one may be english....however, both are from the same evil (my art & villains 5 years apart)

suddenly addicted to buying pretty new books from indie bookstores again

Einstürzende Neubauten live online concert, jaaaaa

i love the ellington always good vibes ye 😎

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

I love becoming a better writer. Augh. Feel like I've improved exponentially since finishing my first graphic novel

this young alternative girl who woulda been like 17 or 18 kept staring at me at the record store today haha it was adorable tbh like girlie i get it i always stare at cool older alt people too 🥹

Deleted the instagram app (ideally permanently) and also one of my accounts (temporarily). And suddenly I am no longer doomscrolling, am drawing after work, and seem to have more time for myself in the day. Who would have known.

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

This is the only correct response.

making comics

What a start to the year for the Australian literary scene! Adelaide Writers' Week boycotted and cancelled, board steps down. Writers Victoria facing a funding shortfall after failing to acquire usual grant and now acclaimed children's author Craig Silvey charged with child exploitation offences.

We don’t dance on the grave of NFTs enough. I had a year where I was repeatedly told by bozos I was going to be irrelevant and extinct for not embracing them, I should be allowed a victory lap.

Unmasked #art

We’re at the point now where people are calling being anti-LLMs as “outrage” as a convenient way to characterise it as unreasonable, and it’s annoying. I’m not outraged, I’m repulsed. I don’t want your stolen shit. It’s gross. You are a fucking loser to me

I thought all of you were boycotting spotify but i woke up this morning and. Oh.

if you're one person making a comic by yourself, don't treat yourself like you should function on the same level as comics that have multiple people working on them. your backgrounds can be squiggles and colors. allow yourself room to be abstract with details and give yourself some grace

some pieces for the upcoming postcard show at gallery nucleus!!

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc
