Adulthood is just cycling between "If I don't say yes to every opportunity, no new opportunities will ever be offered to me" and "Oh no, I have said yes to too many things" over and over until you die.

I will never forgive AI for destroying one of my favorite emoji/symbols the humble sparkle

I feel like this post should act like a lightning rod that awakens the corpses of Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, & Quincy Adams as zombies, who then shamble to the White House to express their displeasure. Possibly some of the other former presidents, too, but especially those guys.

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

LRT: I have seen these vehicles twice around town and they make me SO HAPPY anyone who hates them hates whimsy and that’s just sad

This is the best design, every car should look like this. All vehicles, buildings and objects should look like this.

I don't want to shoot videos I don't want to post tutorials I don't want to show my process I don't want to pour varnish I don't want to turn my canvas I don't want to record my screen I don't want to cultivate parasocial relationships I just want to make pictures and shitpost

This is what going on the internet used to feel like

Watching Christian Nationalists tell the POPE to stay out of politics is making me want to scream at an ear drum-shattering pitch. You don't get to divorce politics from morality when it's convenient to you. Your politics are a direct REFLECTION of your morality.

I use Siri for a few basic tasks (setting alarms, timers, reminders)… and I thank her afterward. It’s a reflex. AI + kids is a massive problem, but so is poor parenting.

This whole mess is mind-boggling. Surely it’s better both creatively and economically to have a core team full-time that understands the ins and outs of such a complex franchise?? This will absolutely hurt Marvel and Disney in the long run (and probably the short run).

Purely by coincidence I was sorting through some childhood art last night, so have some more #Wishbone fanart, circa 1999 :)

Realized I never posted this piece to bluesky—some #Wishbone fanart from a few years ago! This little pup with a big imagination *was* my childhood.

My sister sent me this last night and I am so flipping excited!!

Somehow these drug-fueled revelations make people nicer to inanimate objects than other people

Good lord, what is it with writers who see social commentary in stories as a zero-sum game? That it’s either completely absent or shouted at you with a bullhorn? The subtle social commentary in PHM is one of the things l loved about it! I guess we have Lord & Miller to thank for that.

Maaaan, I knew a certain Big Name Character Designer whose work I’ve long admired had started dabbling in AI… but seeing what boils down to an “adapt or die” post on IG is just so depressing. The shortsightedness and failure to consider the damage gen AI is doing is just infuriating.

I’ve been keeping pretty busy with freelance work & some long-term personal projects, but what was supposed to be a quick warm-up doodle evolved into something a little more detailed this afternoon. There’s something relaxing about noodling around with colors and blobby shapes for a little while :)

This is massively disappointing. I’ve got an account with @ko-fi.com and while I haven’t done much with it yet, I had plans to bolster & promote it this year. Guess I’ll be looking for alternative options… I thought they were one of the few GOOD sites left out there, sigh.

Saw Project Hail Mary tonight and I loved it in a way I haven't quite figured out how to articulate yet, but it is absolutely a balm for the weary soul.

I have no plans to watch the new HP series, but I did watch the trailer out of morbid curiosity, and... you know how foreign animation studios sometimes put out clear knock-offs of Disney films, hoping parents will buy them by mistake? That is the trailer's whole vibe. A complete knock-off.

I am excited to share that the entire Apocalypse Parenting series has been picked up by Tor Books for publication. You’ll be able to find the paperback for Book 1 in physical bookstores on August 18 of this year, simultaneous to the eBook release of Book 5! (Bought myself a sweet hat to celebrate!)

It’s as easy as shutting your effin mouth! And did I mention… it’s free?!

Democratic consultants: To replicate Mamdani’s success with the young people we must appeal to their short attention spans with memes and TikTok Mamdani (actual quote): In the fifth century in what we now know as Ireland, a British warlord named Coroticus had laid waste to the countryside

Squirreling away $$ for a custom cover over time is also a great option! I'm an artist, and I'd love to design a custom plush in the near future. I do not have the audience size to make crowdfunding a viable option, so I'm setting aside money for it here and there so I can eventually fund it myself.

What a good day for movie trailers!!

MCU fatigue has even managed to hit me these days, so it takes a *lot* to get me excited for a new film or show… and oh man oh man I can’t wait for Brand New Day to break my heart.

It’s other people’s introspection that built the world that allows psychopaths like this to thrive and I think it’s gonna take some introspection to figure out how to fix it

Very much enjoying Best Medicine (US version of Doc Martin) and appreciate how it's been doing different (or at least modified) storylines from the original show right off the bat, but PLEASE oh television gods, let me have the seal-in-a-bathtub storyline at some point. PLEASE.

On international womens day please think of the women in Tehran who are now breathing in toxic gas and the first rain that they have had in 5 years is contaminated and will kill everything. And that war with iran will not free Iranian women by poisoning and killing them

I have more in common with any Iranian than with any of the ghouls who have run my country my whole life

Happy #PokemonDay!! I absolutely need to draw Pokémon more often; they're always so much fun.

At this point I'm convinced some people genuinely believe wars are fought like video games and the human beings whose lives are being snuffed out for no reason are just mindless NPCs, and I hate it.

With #PokemonWaves being one of the new titles, that means we're getting new seal-type Pokémon in gen 10 right? Right??

Happy #PokemonDay!! I absolutely need to draw Pokémon more often; they're always so much fun.

I love @dropout.tv so freaking much

2026 basically

You know you’re from Wisconsin when you find yourself thinking “you know what would fix that awful intersection? A roundabout!”

I had the opportunity recently to create a piece for the Civic Symphony of Green Bay's Canvas to Crescendo fundraiser! “Music of the Spheres” features a phoenix painted on a 7” single, mounted on an 8”x8” canvas. There are still a few days left on the auction, and lots of cool artwork to bid on!

Just finished a re-watch of She-Ra: Princesses of Power before Netflix punts it (an absolute crime), and boy oh boy that ending still makes me tear up. The amount of love and care that went into that show is readily apparent.
