The logo for this veggie label is so cute!?

It's still spooky season in my heart. 😌

The beginning of my week got derailed and I kinda never recovered my productivity so this week is a wash. At least I got my computer updated and network issues seem to be fixed so let's hope next week is better. 🤞

Not thrilled to go outside because the weather is garbage now but I am super relieved Kona is feeling better after her strained muscle incident. She’s back to her usual self (barking at us until taking her on a walk).

Sorry I’ve been light on art updates lately. I have a new keychain in production right now (plus will be restocking my anti-AI pins) and also working on new stickers. If you don’t want to miss new art and shop updates, join my newsletter for reminders~ pencilbooth.com/bree

Take the time to read this thread and understand that this is what our terrible country with its reprehensible government are doing to people.

Gen AI is the ultimate expression of capitalism in a machine. It steals everything to regurgitate lesser slop while is hoovers up all the water and it doesn’t even work. Costs massive amounts of money and everyone is being forced to use it.

Anyone who has a problem with limiting replies, try being a woman or fem-coded on the internet with a large following and you'll quickly learn why we have boundaries. Also social media can be overwhelming, even without harassment. Sometimes I just want to limit interactions for peace of mind.

My desktop won’t stay connected to to the internet and ran diagnostics to figure out what’s going on and it’s like “try joining a wifi network”. Yeah thanks. 🙄

I work two jobs. My wife just lost hers. We could use help. 🧡

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-) he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

this country can be the worst, but every once in a while it reminds you that being the best is possible, even when all the money & power in this nation tries to stop you.

Good? Election news?? Can it be??!

I’ve been stressed enough that it should be end of the week already.

Got a vet appt after all because Kona was still not wanting to walk and since yesterday Alex had to carry her outside to go potty. We got to the vet and of course she had miraculous improvement walking again. 🙄 Thankfully vet thinks it’s a muscle strain and not more serious. Look at this sad noodle.

hey if you are an artist who depends on SNAP, ✅ share some art ✅ share links to where people can buy from/donate to you ✅ share the thread ✅ share someone else's post too ✅ label NSFW/horror/etc. properly ⛔ no AI #artistsonbsky #supportartists #artshare

if you're able to vote, you should—not just for yourself, but for every person that isn't able to vote because this country makes it so immensely difficult for too many to practice their rights. some voting rights orgs: blackvotersmatterfund.org asianamericanadvocacyfund.org www.fairfight.com

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Reham. Reham is the primary caregiver for her 3 children Joan, 7, Emad, 6 and Kenan, 4. Her husband has a chronic illness and unfortunately cannot help much. They recently were able to return to their home but found it completely destroyed.

Early voted last week, but if you’re able to today, please go to your polling stations! Coming from someone that’s voted in their local government since they became of age, it’s worth it, even if you feel hopeless, I promise!!

US friends, please go vote today in local elections (I voted early by mail already). Fewer people turnout in smaller elections so your engagement really matters.

Speedrunning all my traumas this week. 🆒🆒🆒

If you canceled Disney+ because of Kimmel or boycotted Target or whatever, also please vote in your local elections, where you can make direct, clear change in your community.

Kona is still in pain and won’t walk and can’t figure out what’s wrong. good vibes please that this week improves and we don’t need a vet visit on top of the other stressful human appointments I have this week.

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote: "To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace." No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

Kona is the most tragic beast. On her morning walk she stepped on something that hurt and/or scared her (I couldn’t see anything wrong though) and refused to walk home so Alex had to go back and get the car to pick us up. 🤦🏼

Semi-regular reminder to artists that you can help maximize the number of reposts you get by adding brief descriptive alt text to your images that gives some idea of medium and subject. You don't have to write a novel to reach out to the part of your audience that relies on alt text 💜

“Cheesecake has never hurt me! Cheesecake is my friend!!” - me trying to justify eating a slice of cheesecake at 10pm when my stomach still hurts from having dairy earlier at dinner.

Your art isn’t bad just because it’s not selling right now. We’re in a recession and people don’t know when they’re gonna eat next, nobody can afford fun things because the economy is crumbling. It’s going to be hard a while.

We all have buttons that can be pushed, no matter how rational and discerning we believe ourselves to be Nothing good will come from getting worked up over videos of shit that didn't happen (even if "it feels like it could have happened") Your default response to video should be skepticism

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

Looking at the sunset time for today with the time change and sobbing 😭

The entirety of my baseball knowledge comes from that one episode of DS9.

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net. In this guest post, Adam Chandler sorts fact from fiction:

inspiration porn is a quintessential American reaction to their government removing or not initiating assistance programs. the government they pay for.

Staying in the woods was nice because I didn’t have to hear lawnmowers or leaf blowers for four days.

I am seeing the posts about American healthcare premiums going up 5x and more. And I want to gather my Canadians and folks who have universal healthcare and let you know that Americans know their system is broken. You don't need to tell them that right now.

Feels silly to pay quarterly business taxes during government shutdown while they try to destroy vital services. 🙃

I love animal crossing #art

Algorithmic timelines that reward/punish certain gameable behaviors were the beginning of the end on twitter.

We never get trick-or-treaters but I do miss buying candy that I and up eating all myself. Maybe I’ll have to go buy sale candy tomorrow.

Hope you're having a happy Halloween, may all your spells come true!! 💜🐈‍⬛

I’m officially Columbo-pilled like the rest of you. Watched a few episodes while on vacation and now I want to watch through all seasons from the beginning!

Happy halloween! I hope you conjure up some fun!

I just think that if you’re okay with people — adults, children, the elderly — starving, your soul is destined for dark places bc you are an evil person.

Needed a break from -gestures at everything- so went on a little vacation this week with Alex and Kona to Hocking Hills! Stayed in a fancy modern cabin, looked at some trees, went in some caves. We had a lovely time. 🪨🍂

Omg ACNH updates?!?! I’m so excited! 😭 Even if this means there’s not a new AC game coming for awhile, I’m fine with that, I’ve been playing ACNH again anyways and these features and items add a lot. (Also hello I’m back on social media again after a mini vacation. What else did I miss?!)

i have one of these, and it is a true delight

I’m gonna go look at some trees and try to be less online next week! (Any shop orders will go out next weekend!) 🍂 shop.breelundberg.com

Reminding folks once again to go ahead and put links to your stuff directly in your post! Links aren't suppressed here! I am extremely likely to click on the link and go look at your stuff if the link is right there. 🙂 I am extremely unlikely to go on a scavenger hunt for links through your page 🤷🏻‍♂️

We’ve already seen quite a few examples of ICE agents trying to kidnap someone and eventually giving up and running away because a crowd had gathered and shouted them down. That’s EFFECTIVE.
