MORE housework got done this weekend. We've been making so much good progress in making our house really feel like our home - which is really a struggle when you're hella broke lol. But we're making it work and loving every second of it!

I've picked up my third embroidery project! I might post my progress, if anyone is interested.

I don't know why new media in a franchise ruins the old media. I understand in the way of ret-coning well written stories. "Somehow Palpatine returned" sticks out in my head. But that doesn't make the first few movies bad. It doesn't negate their impact. How do y'all feel about it?

I'm in the midst of another Domestica class - this one has been really rewarding. I can't wait to share my experience with it when I've completed it.

If you don’t want a sketch, regular commissions will be opening soon!

This year has been the year of the concerts. I just recently saw Boys Go To Jupiter, and if you don't know them, you should. They're incredible, they're fun, and they have such a unique sound. Every song is a bop. Please go listen.

SPREAD THIS FAR AND WIDE A group of New Yorkers has made an ICE hotline to protect their neighbors from being kidnapped by secret police.

So, while the action sequences are great in the Clone Wars Animated Film, the way Ahsoka and Anakin interact make me feel like this is just an ego off. None of these people understand what controlling their emotions means. They make her so insufferable and insolent. I don't like her.

Star Wars Episode 2 still holds up. My only concern is how creepy Anakin is. I don't get how anyone likes this dude lol. But also, though. YODA FIGHTS.

I struggle with inspiration for my sketchbook a lot. I have a lot of ideas, and concepts, but no confidence that I can draw them with any accuracy. In my journey to be less ginger with my sketchbook, I think I just need to do some studies and take leaps of faith with my work.

I just tried inking with a quill for the first time - it has fountain pen nibs. My practice turned out pretty well, for a first go around! I definitely need to spend more time with it, and perhaps get myself some alternate nibs, but I do like it quite a bit!

Anakin Skywalker for all of episode 2 is a walking red flag. I don't get it. Obi-Wan is *right there.*

Its the holidays! You know something your GM might love??? A CUSTOM MAP! Hire me?

I just finished another domestika course from Evan Amundsen, about illustration and worldbuilding. As a world builder, this was a course that affirmed, for me, that I was on the right track. If you spend any time at all building worlds for TTRPG's, I highly recommend it.

My favorite Star Wars character has always been Obi-Wan.

The only bad thing about Episode 1 is Jarjar, and i'm not accepting alternate opinions. The difference in fight choreography between Obi-Wan and Qui Gon though? With the FIRST instance we hear duel of the fates? Peak. Also the parade song is peak.

See, look, U.S.A., it's this easy (and should have been done immediately upon the knowledge that these cheats and grifters were STEALING our work)

Just finished the Acolyte. The actors did great, but the writing was deeply lacking. Middle school me could have written this story in her sleep - and that isn't a compliment. Jecki was my favorite, Dafne did great. Jodi, Lee, and Manny all did great with their characters. Amandla was done dirty.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

I stayed up way too late last night calling, emailing, and tagging senators and spreading news. CALL, EMAIL, DM, TAG YOUR SENATORS The final vote on this budget proposition will happen today or tomorrow. Ask them NOT to pass a budget that doesn't include an extension of the ACA subsidies. (1/4)

I had accidentally watched episode 1 of Andor before starting my Star Wars in chronological order (it should have been Acolyte). I get why people were mad at Acolyte. Andor episode 1 is so good.

The Acolyte tries to be clever when it's not. It's so predictable, but not in a fun way. Good fight scenes though. I think the actors did really well, it's just that the writing is terrible.

NEWS — The Oregon Department of Human Services has issued 100% of November SNAP benefits, per an alert on their website. I've received reports that the funds have already hit recipients' EBT accounts. www.oregon.gov/odhs/news/Pa...

So I'm watching Star Wars by story chronology...

I just remembered that Fuecoco exists, and i'm still dead from how cute he is.

Sign painting (or at least that aesthetic) rules because it implies a human hand was involved in it. Seeps intention, clever visual hierarchy, and charm.

Against my better judgement, I'm probably starting another home game... One of my friends has never quite done a proper game of 5e, and I want to change that for her. The problem is, i have a wild west campaign that i need to finish up before i do that lol.

An update: I'm missing the last day of PAX:U because i have to go be a good aunt somewhere else. But Friday and Saturday I'll see everyone there!

I don't believe in guilty pleasures. I love everything I love without shame. If you're ashamed to love what you love, I'll love it harder in your honor.

Is there a genre of music that no one expects you to be into? Mine is disco. This punk-goth LOVES disco.

As of writing this, i just had one of the most fulfilling days in a long while. Good times, with good friends will always keep my cup full.

Okay, so who's going to PAX U?

I need to be playing more D&D but one of the perks of being an adult is losing any free time you have.

Between banning books, non-white people, genders, immigrants, comedians, journalism… And then pushing AI which just regurgitates new ideas… America is headed into a deep cultural recession. This place is bleak and getting increasingly boring.

I don't care what anyone says about the new Pokemon game. I love it. It's great.

So anyway, i'm on Tumblr now.

New Yorkers you absolutely need to vote in the upcoming election- confidence for Mamdani may be high, but take nothing for granted. Show up please.

Thrifting furniture is one of my favorite ways to decorate my house. I have so many beautiful forever pieces that I never have to worry about because they're quality... My house feels so much more like a home with pieces I love to look at.

friend shared this, immediately updated my settings

This halloween, i'm watching all of starkid's hatchetfield content. Because it's good. (You should too.)

Robo shows up for SO MUCH. Please show up for him.

Hey everyone! I am so sorry to ask for help but I'm in a very dire situation since my mom is in the hospital and I'm stuck with the bill. I don't expect to hit the $1600 goal but literally ANYTHING helps. Thank you so very much and I'm so sorry. ko-fi.com/ttrpgifs/goa...

I'm redesigning a favorite OC of mine using the tools I learned in my most recent art classes. I'm excited to bring an old and improved character to y'all!

I might've started designing my own merch for bands I love. I love representing my favorite artists and musicians, and got really hecking tired of black t-shirts. I love a pop of color in my wardrobe, and I love enamel pins and patches. Hopefully, it goes somewhere fun!

I also got back into minecraft. I'm playing sky factory for the first time, and this is a load of fun.

Every now and again I get the urge to be on a stage again, and I don't know what to do with it. Not back stage - ON it. It goes against my very nature to do it... but sometimes I crave.

My love languages are art, gifts, and interest. I have a room dedicated to the pursuit of all of those things for myself and my friends. My study is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to be. And I made that myself. What a reward.
