woman at work who undoubtedly makes twice as much as me, if not more, trying to explain to me how it’s sooooooo much work and sooooo time consuming for her to. take screenshots of translated copy to show her little ai bot to ask if it’s correct. no one asked you to do that ma’am.

need it to become 5000% cheaper to live so I can actually have my own place and buy my own cats

more pets should be named for shorebirds

my mom wants to get more cats, which i do too its too empty and lonely without any in the house. but i also feel like i may feel immensely guilty and sad if another cat sits in my lap other than him

My painting MONUMENT VALLEY

only skimmed the photo scans so far. a lot of good photos, a lot of super high contrast/graininess which is unusual? I wonder if the film overheated or expired….

somehow accidentally double exposed an entire roll with photos from a local trail and photos of the gorgeous Wyoming trail. and the pictures are cool as shit but now I have barely any pictures from that hike 😭

guy they hired as sr designer instead of me is an absolute disaster in illustrator. he’s making a logo rn and like. I’ll be the first to admit logo design is not my forte! it’s hard! but this mans “polished” designs break every known rule of design theory and look like a high schooler made them

15 rolls of film have arrived at the lab for developing. now we wait

don’t care if you saw the northern lights it should’ve been me dot jpg

cat named tomato basil soup available for adoption locally

Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that

birding ez mode

coworkers donated to a local humane society in macaroni’s name 😭

ceramics membership started again so I should probably go but I don’t have the energy to deal with people I just want to lay on my bed and look at pictures of Mac to get sad

I’m not sure how much longer Mac will be with us. I feel like I should’ve skipped this stupid conference to be with him all week.

brain fog event upgraded to brain severe thunderstorm alert

I say it every year and every year it’s true. truly the worst ad*be conference yet

I hope this email kills us both

disgruntled LA driver brake checking a full bus

adobe making the brave decision to host three white men for their luminary/inspiration keynote

this mocktail tastes like when you try the bubblegum flavored toothpaste at the dentist

multiple managers on this work trip not a single ounce of communication skill between them

watched two women running in circles trying to find their waymo and when it finally arrived they couldn’t get in (the waymo in question was blocking the bus, and a second one nearly hit the bus right after)

the entirety of dtla throttling my phones data. I blame the dodgers and their 18 innings

brought my ipad to draw at the hotel but instead im overwhelmed with an aching pre-grief loneliness ✌️

I was looking for a pumpkin bread recipe when I found this really convincing ad, and now I’m dropping everything to take 1 shot of olive oil tonight.

here at corporation we believe that the incessant high pitched alarm going off in our office building is conducive to teamwork and collaboration!

Another full day, another bird. 🪶 Red-footed booby for #birdtober. It seems very pleased with itself, which I like. #watercolor #artober

I also made some cosy winter pigeons & find them so charming?!

why doesn’t land rock back and forth with the swell?
