Hey man sorry to hear about all your political turmoil. Would it help if I scrolled around on the computer all day and drove myself insane?

Quiet because I'm super busy moving into a new house and giving myself anxiety attacks but! RIP blue mushroom, I had you for less than a week.

HIGH KING CAGE HAS SPOKEN 🗡️👑

Boy, things that were "never going to happen" sure do keep happening a lot.

Armadillos and Cactaceae🌿✨

Just a reminder that one of the best things you can do for your artists and writer friends is to make sure to leave reviews on the projects you've enjoyed. One, it makes our days, and two it helps convince other people to give us a try.

Y'all, I am BEGGING YOU to turn on your alt text switch and alt text your images. Take the time, please. Make this place different in the ways that matter. It has gotten much worse, and we need to be moving the other way.

Roadside spirit - Mixtec media on paper. A piece based on a recent experience I had in Colorado.

What if we normalize thanking artists who did your book cover, maps, or other illustrations in your book release announcements? They put a lot of time & effort into helping your project and often feel just as invested in its success. Plus, it emphasizes that you worked with a human artist & not AI💜

The overconsumption is singing its siren song to me.

I want to get back into Pokemon card collecting but I have the hoarding / gacha addiction problem, so I'm trying to negotiate how to do that. Currently going to frame a few of my original cards that I like and try to just enjoy.

It’s been a long fuckin week send me good vibes or pictures of dogs

Wow, I went to do dinner and a shower, and came back to like 40 new followers. Welcome! I write queer stuff, usually involving fantasy guilds. They're my weakness, apparently.

I can't post stories here but I can definitely post pictures of my work. This is Amaco's dipping and layering glaze, River Moss on a B-mix clay body. #pottery #earthnationceramics #art

I haven't written in a solid month and now I'm like. procrastinating starting again. It's a slog but my queue is running out.

Coffee and Grub

One of the hardest parts about hard times is we get through them by being kind. Caring about your neighbors, helping a stranger, putting effort into helping those who can't help themselves... that's going to do a lot to save the world you love.

Life's been weird but I'm back to update y'all that MIL told a cousin (who told us) that we're big fans of cancel culture. Ma'am, you're not blocked. You're choosing to be a victim in this scenario where you're Very Wrong.

In-law no longer moving in and actually cut off her son and grandchild over some petty bullshit, so like? life's been fucking weird

A gentle reminder that you should always resist the temptation to tag a creative person into a negative review of their work. It doesn't matter what your intentions are, it's kind of an asshole maneuver. You are free to say whatever you like, of course. Making it their problem, however, is not kind.

AI can save you a lot of time if you need a bunch of information summarized and it's not important to you whether the summary is accurate

We’re all raised in an ableist soup, but American individualism makes us particularly prone to bullshit. We see interdependence as a weakness rather than a fact of life. We value productivity and our broken meritocracy that refuses to acknowledge barriers more than people.

Found my childhood games (PlayStation games not included)

Sorry for the extended absence, moving house, in-law moving in, and also holidays? Shit got real. I'll be back.

Year of the snake🐍🌿✨

Happy New Year to all! I wish you and your loved ones happiness, warmth, only good news and peace! (and lots of delicious snacks!!) 🎄✨

A little humor for my monthly porch chalkboard. Happy New Year, my fabulous Bluesky friends!

May you find more people to be fucking weird with this year

Goodnight 🌿 #art #illustration

Happy 2025 ✨

Alt text, because disabled folks are queer too. Also had no idea some of these flags were so young. Bisexual flag remains my favorite.

Spitballed a New Year's cleaning tradition to add when the kid gets older. In-Law is spontaneously coming to visit due to family issues, so I'm getting a speedrun of that tradition lmaooo

Worked on this more while I was away for Christmas, here's how it turned out! I didn't go with the fancy leaves in the end; it felt like an overcomplication. I'm gonna clean stuff up (remove the squares) digitally for a print version probably! I'm also working on a few more of them!

"gentleness"

Seen a few folks astonished by my lack of support for ChatGPT and similar. Because AI, right? Yeah, no. What we have right now is glorified autocorrect. Glorified autocorrect that takes the energy of an entire city to do what it does, plus half of Lake Erie to cool down while it's doing it.

Eggless egg custard tart what could go wrong

A little further along... have to let ink dry (the bane of working with dip pens) before doing more.

calligraphy and ink pen people. give me nib recommendations for drawing. I made the mistake of getting a Brause & Co #76 and it's fucking impossible to break in. My other two that I bought at the same time are very agreeable. The 76 just hates functioning as it should, apparently.

Are we seriously still doing human interaction? It's almost 2025, grow up.

My new pen nibs rock.

Tapping the sign again

Been busy this holiday season but now my house is filled with battery powered toys yelling various songs at max volume so is that really better. Kiddo is *jamming* tho

Gen ai is poisoning our power grid, stealing intellectual property, using precious water, and ruining the internet with unreliable information and garbage imagery. Don't use it, and don't normalize it, even for laughs.
