Inspired by my laid off existence.

I live in an attic unit and my bed is under the slanted roof. Sometimes I hear squirrels running on the roof while I’m reading in bed and it gives me tree fort vibes.

Screaming, crying, throwing up over Frankenstein. As soon as I got to my drink and draw I had to sketch this good pure moment. Del Toro CRUSHED IT! A good adaptation and some good nods to the original films AND to Bernie Wrightson. I might do a more finished version of this.

i am so excited to go see frankenstein. i have been waiting for YEARSSSSS for this. i grew up reading the bernie wrightson illustrated book and i know del toro has some nods to that version.

showing my therapist my art feels like being a kid and making your parents put your art on the fridge.

doing a magic card trade in front of a closed bar at night feels like a crime.

It’s November 6 and I finally just took 1 of 2 ac units out. I’ll get the other one out tomorrow but I think that’s a 2 person job.

Bluesky rn

Scabby process work and stuff.

New awareness campaign

I'm gonna fight 'em off...

My Scabby The Rat piece for a Chicago Cryptid themed art show! Scabby is a giant inflatable rat used during Union strikes. Created in the 90s in Chicago, he seemed like a perfect cryptid as he creeps me out. It was nice to zen out and draw rats for days.

It's so strange. Back in mid 2000s, I really thought that the day Dick Cheney died would be one of joy and celebration. And I was correct.

Hot take: Pigeons are majestic. Who agrees with me??

Me: *already stressed about rent* My car: …hey you know what would be really funny right now?

It is HALLOWEEN I SHOULDNT BE SEEING OR HEARING XMAS ADS YOU SLIMY GITS

Heyo! I’m experienced and able to hit the ground running!!

just slapped together a boros deck with rem karolus, stalwart slayer as commander. i'm being good and only using cards i have as this is for a friend to use when he comes over to play. it's not insanely powerful, but my god it's going to be annoying.

These illustrations were burned into my 7 year old brain when I dug this out of my dad’s bookshelf.

Goddamn persona 3 reload was so good. It’s tied with persona 5 for me. The persona games are so damn weird and good.

sis run

Pupdate: burrowing season hath begun.

Omg I just started the podcast Behind the Bastards and @choochoobear.bsky.social is on it!?!?? I AM SCREAMING! I had no idea! So exited to dive into Dennis the menace bastardness.

I finally watched through all 9 seasons of downton abbey. Basically all the downstairs characters (except bates and anna) and tom are my favorite. Daisy and Mrs Patmore are the cutest.

I've decided I'm going to perform despite the death threats. It's going to be my first performance accompanied by armed security, which makes it a little easier to be brave. I need to perform this more than ever. Plus it'll be the most punk thing I've ever done.

I haven’t worked in a restaurant since 2012 and I still get restaurant stress nightmares.

Witness video shows federal agents throwing tear gas canisters in the middle of Armitage Ave today as they appear to be blocked in and heckled by angry neighbors. This is around the 3500 block of West Armitage.

Smack is doing smut for all of October!!!! GEDDIT!!!

I forgot how old I was. It is beginning. The Forgettening.

Wow just finished my third book since getting laid off and it hasn’t been a month yet. Nice.

National Coming Out Day is celebrated on Oct. 11 to recognize the courage of LGBTQ+ individuals who come out publicly. This year, NPR is inviting people to share their coming out stories.

No. Your friends don't secretly hate you. You're just dehydrated.

Some pieces I did at atomic sketch last night. Nice to draw traditional. Also nice that 2 of them sold!

Posting this again after that ridiculous Tylenol press conference #maha #maga #satire #politics #snakeoil #rfkjr #pseudoscience

I’m just here thinking about death and tiny lines. Started as a quick doodled and then it got away from me. Oops.

Life. Lately.

*gestures to everything*

Inspired by @missaudacious.bsky.social’s sharing her adhd notes, here are some of mine.

A 2024 meta-analysis found that children of gay fathers show healthy adjustment, even higher on some well-being measures. How does this challenge adoption bias? Read more: ferrygodmother.com/queer-adopti... #QueerAdoptionRights #LGBTQFamilies #AdoptionEquality #ParentingRights

I accidentally watched all of The Paper and it was comforting? Not as cringe or funny as the office, but it’s still good! I can’t wait to see how the cast develops! Between this and st. Denis, there’s gonna be a lot of cozy watching time.

Ever since I got laid off I’ve been getting the ole teeth crumbling, shattering, and falling out of my mouth. This happens every time I get financially insecure (so quite frequently).

I bullied my team into doing quick little morning meetings where we all say what we’re working on, any blockers and upcoming projects they’d need collaboration on, to help with me and my adhd crap. Did that for 5 years and now I have no one but my dog to tell my daily schedule to.

Some figure drawings from last night’s session at @hatcharthamtramck.bsky.social #smackart

Oh, the Romanity

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

I don’t know if it’s amazing or insulting that the optometrist handed me a pair of cat eye frames and said “I feel like you lean into the rockabilly aesthetic”

life is shit, but hey, there's a dog snoring on me, a cup of coffee in my hand, and a huge flock of starlings chattering about in the tree outside my window.

i wonder how long it will take before my unemployed ass sleep schedule turns to vampire?
