In an age of misinformation and AI slop, participating in April Fools Day feels like using a water gun to help out a tsunami

I think I need to do a deep dive on hip replacement surgery before visiting a friend this weekend who just had hers, so I won't be an utter nuisance spending our time together bombarding her with all the detailed technical questions about it. (Like, wild shit?!! In a Whoaaa Science kind of way??!)

Shrimp sticker in the making!! (Ngl, kinda proud of this one. XD)

if you are in #berlin and you feel the need get stabbed (a tattoo) talk to @eeephi.bsky.social and maybe you are lucky and you can also join the cult...ehhh club. the werepony club ... not a cult

I'm way too naive and gullible to be online on April 1st.

On this Trans Day of Visibility I challenge you to talk to trans men, rather than about them.

The last couple of days, we had a photographer in our studio to take professional pictures of the place and... wow how does anyone think AI could replace that job, he took pictures of our toilet that are more glamour and fashion than anything I've ever seen before. Also, he brought us cake!!

Wow, bsky flagged these as "sexually suggestive"? Excuse me, I'm doing my best here to take respectful pictures of my clients' tattoos, even if the placement requires showing a bit more skin??🥲

1/2 After a little break, we could finally finish Erdmute's water... swoosh! Left and top parts were done half a year ago, right-ish parts fresh. A great opportunity for healed shots of the jellyfish (Erdmute's first tattoo, from 2022) and the little boat and cloud from 2024.

“I’m saving up for the other sleeve and then maybe a back piece”

Big thanks to everyone who came by for our flash day! I had the honor of further immortalizing Clemens' profound relationship with caffeine and even got an opportunity to catch a whole gang of healed tofu kings together. Also, you have my eternal love & gratitude for talking about TLT with me!!😬🫶

We're having another Flash Day at Atelier Peony (Berlin Pankow) tomorrow (starting at noon)! Feel free to come by and get a tattoo... or just get stickers, snacks and enjoy our lovely company :D

Hey horror fans, do you need some extra reading material for this year's #TransRightsReadathon? We got you covered! Here are some free eBooks written & edited by trans authors & published by Ghoulish Books. Please share! buttondown.com/ghoulish/arc...

I made a papercraft just for this

if Anita Bryant was still alive and promoting Florida orange juice, you couldn't pay me enough to drink it. how is Harry Potter any different? here is a timeline of JK Rowling's transphobia: web.archive.org/web/20241225... & here is where her HP money is going: www.advocate.com/news/jk-rowl...

Is this a good time to once again repost this Something Positive strip that Dear Uncle Randy made a few years back? Answer: Unfortunately, it is. It shouldn't have to be, but it is.

I'm missing the one where they overanalyze my favorite book over hundreds of episodes tho.

Semi-regular reminder: Baby open-ocean octopuses sometimes ride on jellyfish like little hats. 📸 Songda Cai bit.ly/2ZmNZZH 🧪🪼🐙🦑🌿

I've been up and nonstop doing things from 7:30 until now. Very productive, much satisfying. But at what cost!!?! (The cost: I'm very tired and my brain is, euphemistically speaking, mush. Ew.)

Thank you so much for adopting my Relaxo wannado, Navi!! Such a perfect fit for that gap, I'm sure he's happy to share a bit of his coffee with LSP. :D I feel so lucky I get to meet so many lovely humans through tattooing. Hopefully see you again soon! 💜

New project- 出口🏃🏻‍♂️ Shinjuku Station has over 200 exits, I'm going to draw all of them wrongly, not where they actually take you, but the many worlds that they could take you to.

If you want Bluesky to be good you need to be weirder

Full timer hot tips: dumpsterdive, food stamps, don't procreate or have a pet, make friends with skills you don't have, flirt with people who drive or just bike everywhere, get a fit from the free shop and wear it everyday, eat oranges so u never ever get sick, legitimacy is a trap, fuck 12, no fear

I just want all artists to succeed and make cool shit. I want a world where all artists could just make so much art that every story can find its audience and every audience can find its story. I just want to live in a world where we can all bask in the joy of getting to make and participate in art.

Very appropriate for spring, we finally got to add the greenery to this piece we started last November (see lineart-before on slide 4). I had so much fun creating this Facing the Sun fanart! If you enjoy beautifully drawn solarpunk GL, I highly recommend you read the comic.

Not saying the Dune series hasn't been intriguing (and, let's face it, proper weird) so far, but no part of it has made me think and revisiting my understandings of thermodynamics more than this one about having something steep at minus 340K.

Also, worry not, the werepony appreciation stickers are already actively in the making, too. :D

1/3 Last year I got a cute photo of healed tattoos by 3 ppl who met at LBM. After, so many more texted me they were at LBM too! So this year I wanted to facilitate ppl with tattoos by me recognizing each other and made stickers but I was a bit late for distribution bc LBM is happening this WE...

Me, every time I muster the motivation to try get back into strength training and do one single tiny workout: Am I a ripped machine yet??

SI Jointventures [Part 6] They've been making sure there's needles everywhere. I'm immobilized into boredom like a pinned butterfly.🥲 If you find yourself cosplaying a pincushion, don't move around to try grab your phone. It's not a great idea. I tried so you don't have to.

OTD the Ides of March

The worst part about physiotherapy is that you're supposed to actually *do* the exercises you learn there at home? Repeatedly. Regularly. I'm just glad my therapist ist such a cinnamon roll. I'd feel extremely bad for disappointing him and his efforts. 🥲

(Not-so-)fun fact: Turns out cortisone injections can lead to (acyclic and prolonged) vaginal bleeding and it's apparently a very common side effect? A side effect nobody bothered to warn me about, but thanks to the internet now I know I'm probably not dying. So just in case, now you know, too.

2 Tipps zum Frühlingsputz von der Haushaltsephi eures Vertrauens: 1) Überwindet euch und macht mal eure Waschmaschine sauber. Echt ziemlich grindig, was sich da über die *hust* Jahre so alles ansammelt.

SI Jointventures [Part 5] I had my first physiotherapy session today. Great news for the International Society of Shrimps!!? #shrimp4life

It’s so fucked up that for things to get done you actually have to do them

Absolutely not to my surprise, the aforementioned wishful-thinking hinge didn't even last a week before it broke, so I'll have to get up extra early tomorrow to welcome those gentlemen back into my balcony door compromised lair. Wish me luck.

I used to be impressed by the thought of acupuncturists hitting those teeny spots with their tiny needles. Like, what an exact anatomical map! Turns out they don't? Eg I always get a needle between my thumb and index finger but where exactly that goes varies with a margin of error of at least 2cm??

Honestly, the sooner you can unlearn jealousy and envy as reactions to others’ success, the better off you’ll be. There are better ways to motivate yourself to succeed than hoping that your peers don’t.

We have a Cricut in our studio and I can make my own stickers now. I feel so... powerful!! *-*

SI Jointventures [Part 4] I wish I could cry in moments I deem crying-appropriate?? 🥲

Und da ist unsere 86. Folge - zum heutigen Streiktag, mit ein paar Infos zu politischen Streiks in Deutschland, Judiths Erfahrungen mit der Orga zum heutigen Tag, der Frage, wie man eigentlich als Selbstständige streikt, und einigen Medientipps: genderswapped-podcast.podigee.io/105-folge86

Happy(?) International Feminist Fight Day!! May your rightful rage make them tremble! Be loud if you can, protect those who can't. Stay soft and smash the patriarchy, together!! (If you're out of ideas or time and still need a sign for the demo, feel free to use these.)

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free
