Told my manager that scheduling denied my birthday off request and he overrode their decision. "Yeah you dont come down to the office for anything, youre good✌🏾" Yeeeeeessssssss. All is well now ahaha✨

Work denied my request for days off for my birthday and Im beyond upset. Short staffed is the reason, but I put in my requests MONTHS in advance!!! You telling me you cant get a shift properly staffed months ahead of time????

Its nice to be nice✌🏾✨ Oh man that warm guitar is good at pulling the moisture from my eyes

I read through the article and through the letters sent to these paypros and you guys should too (like please actually read them, don't rely on me). It specifically cites religious and political views but the language is wide open. This is good

New YT video is up! 🥰 Sharing my experience completing a ✨mini✨ 5 minute a day painting challenge for #pleinairpril youtu.be/YXdp5HK3LVc

Happy Solstice! 😊💖✨

Hi Bluesky! I'm a digital and traditional environment painter 🌿✨ here are some of my gouache paintings!

🎯🎯🎯 Their counterargument has always been, and never been more complex than, "Shut up, ugly."

Sometimes the only reminder you need is to have a cool breeze on your face and trees blossoming all around you. Life is worth experiencing.

Use invoices friends. Its easy and organized. The commissioner doesnt type in anything either. Its an email where the commissioner clicks a "Pay" button using whatever means they want (credit/debit/pp balance). They can leave a tip too if the artist includes the option to.

I love my Tauren shaman 😭

It’s even worse now, the olds have no natural antibodies against AI slop

Not super accurate but...hmmm Whatdya get? poomang.com/en/t/smooth_...

Your periodic reminder that there is a website that lets you listen to local radio stations anywhere in the world This is honestly one of the coolest inventions ever, imo. Global access to hyper-local imagined communities

We report: this night sky is a little hazy, halfway between mist and a proper cloud cover. Either way, it is absorbing light, and keeping it; it has within itself the moon, the stars, and the city lights. The moon makes a valiant effort to show through even as it is about to set.

Yall how did this froggie get up to my 2story balcony???

TIL that the fruit trees I've been babying for the past 5 years are frost tolerant yes, but the FLOWERS are not. And so, the trees will not set fruit...

one thing a whole lot of us struggle with at times is feeling isolated and depressed and like not enough people care about what’s going on and I really cannot emphasize enough that going to a no kings protest helps this feeling a lot there are so! many! people! who hate all of this shit

Travis Howe (Animator at Sanzaru Games 2018-26) - "A long while back, a team was assembled to pitch a remaster of Jak & Daxter. I was asked to animate an IGC shot-for-shot, to show what this updated version would look like." - not commissioned by Sony - a fan pitch to gain permission

LMFAOOOOO

a cozy spring picnic day! 🌸

Boards can be wonky. I did not know this and always assumed if my board art wasn't flawless I was doing it wrong, but no. Flawless wood in a fantasy or historical setting is probably kinda weird unless there was a reason to invest that much time. Pictures of Guédelon I got from @iisaw.bsky.social

Are you an artist? Do you draw or paint creatures? My bird reference photos might be for you: davidcsimon.gumroad.com/l/afdez

Someone patched GIMP to look and feel exactly like Adobe Photoshop. Same keyboard shortcuts. Same tool layout. Same everything. It's called PhotoGIMP and it's free.

This week, whatever situation that may come your way, try not give yourself unnecessary pressure. Relax, play it step by step, and flow with it. You’ll know when you have to plan 6 steps ahead. Third week of March, y’all! Keep up the pressure! ✊🏾😤 Stay blessed, safe, and hydrated! 🙏🏾🤎🧡 6/6

Another example offline would be going out, trying new things, a job interview, everything. ‼️ DO NOT OVER ANALYZE ‼️ ‼️ YOU WILL PSYCHE YOURSELF OUT ‼️ Local furry meet? Go check out the vibes. Wanna try that restaurant, but not alone? Just go alone, eat at the bar and enjoy yourself! 4/6

Message of the Week #MotW Unnecessary Pressure. Oh how often we do this to ourselves? A little too often if you ask me. Sometimes we have to understand that we should not over analyze things and just go with this simple logic: “Let’s see what happens.” And sometimes that’s the way to move. 1/6

Holy shit this wacky weather happened on the exact same day we had a freak tornado last year

Yall it was damn near 80 degrees yesterday and Im looking at snow falling on my flowering cherry tree what the fuuuuck

I just feel like we could be friends :3 Also not me drawing this weeks ago and just remembering that it exists🫣 #furryart

Oh man I rarely play video games these days but even I admit that this looks really REALLY cool

Exactly, when a Right-Winger says a bunch of gibberish that makes no logical sense, they aren't struggling to explain their ideas, they're struggling to explain their ideas in a way that won't result in negative social consequences for themselves

This week, I want you to focus on obstacles in your life you need to beat that are in front of you, but also PLEASE learn to enjoy the pleasures of life in front of you as well. Get down from the fence and go relax. Week 2 of March. I ain’t forget this MotW. I got yall. Stay blessed. 💪🏾🤎🧡 6/6

EVERY SINGLE PART of a lily is toxic! Petals, leaves, pollen, the water in the vase. You can celebrate someone other ways besides killing their cat. I worked as a vet tech for 10 years. Let me assure you, you don't want to see your cat go through this nightmare.

We report at the end of a strange, warm, sunny day. We spent it attempting to reconcile our idea of an early March day with the lukewarm wind we felt on our face. As the sun is setting, the crisp humidity is swallowing half of the thermometer in one fell swoop.

Very insightful thread in response to AI designer’s remarks that AI will give people more freedom, just as automobiles “freed” horses.

for large pieces, i have a pretty involved process. step one is booking a consult to explain the process & ideas. i then sketch over top of a pic of the client. i keep this a pretty loose sketch & don’t render much at all— just key components, bc i stencil the loose sketch on & draw on changes

All caveats aside, I worry sometimes that the prevailing statement that "no one in our generation can afford a house" deters some people who might actually be eligible for homeownership from researching the means, resources, programs, credits, etc that would actually help them get there
