One of the ways I’m trying to mentally deal with <gestures to the atrocities> is by doing more creative things to recharge before diving back in. Today a took a class on drawing and painting birds, and this titmouse was the end result.

@stephenking.bsky.social I simply had to draw Molly, Thing of Evil’s portrait! She was sweet while working with her and showed none of her evilness. Thanks for all the books that kept me company while trying to age gracefully :)

Two new sketches complete! @moiradonegan.bsky.social and @stephenking.bsky.social This is my therapy during these trying times. Drawing all that fur settles me down, especially when I cannot sleep.
