My overall rule of thumb in life: Avoid people who spend their time tearing others apart/down, find the folks who spend their time building others together/up.

As someone whose followed recipe sites before the AI-geddon, here's some links to human run cooking blogs: barefeetinthekitchen.com www.budgetbytes.com www.thecookierookie.com diethood.com Man...I remember when having to scroll past the stories was the frustrating part of recipe sites...

I really wish doing my best actually felt like it.

Who knew that my time spent as a figure drawing model would come in so handy when it comes to staying still in an MRI machine for half an hour.

Fun thing I discovered! If you use firefox with adblocks and run Spotify via the web-browser, the adblockers will skip the ads for you! No subscription needed! Not sure if it works on mobile devices or other countries but I suggest giving it a try!

I want to very gently say something, and I hope nobody will be mad: If somebody on the internet says something that is NOT about politics and NOT about how terrible everything is, it’s a kindness not to reflexively make a comment (in jest or not) that brings it back to those things.

Today I forgot how to draw: Fish

Today on the 19th anniversary of being married to my delightful husbean @tailsteak.bsky.social , the valve on our toilet blew out and almost flooded the bathroom. Which oddly enough is not the first time our relationship has caused water damaging events. #IfIHadANickel

Me: But if I give her a full shark mouth she's going to lose some of her conventional prettiness. Also me: Do it coward. Only the strong of Will deserve shark babes. #RandomArtThoughts

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

Every time we engage our pain or fear w/ compassion patience, acceptance, & realism, it makes a difference. It makes a dent in the neural pathways that drive our trauma responses. Our vulnerability to future trauma responses is diminished every time we have our own back.

I'M LOSING MY MIND, THE BEST AND MOST EXCITING YHING JUST HAPPENED, BABY SNAPPING TURTLES HATCHED IN MY YARD, HOLY FUCKING SHIT WOW HOLY FUCK

The struggle of loving pumpkins but not liking pumpkin spice or jack-o-lanterns...

This is amazing. www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/toxic-av...

Folks be like "I don't like cats cause they will eat you after you die" while frog owners be "damn. You got a pet that will wait for you to die first?"

Like a true Meb of genius, I managed to trip and hi-five possibly the only cactus in Southern Ontario. Thankfully missed any of the big spikes, but my right hand has been in tiny barb town since. Been a slow annoying process of de-barbing myself. Primarily the thumb which took the brunt.

Once again I am reminded I am in the timeline where there's no Viva Pinata within my grasp. #theworsttimeline

I don't care if I'm popular as long as I'm kind.

Backlight of my right monitor has gone out, and now picarto is not playing nice. Gonna be JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS, THAT A MEB GOES THROUGH, WHEN I ANGRY INSIDE, AND WANT TO TAKE IT OUT ON ANYTHING WITHIN 20 FEET OF MEEEEE~

Me at noon: Its a nice Monday to take a nap. Me at 7PM, having just woken up: Wait. It's Tuesday. #Hek

What do you mean I have to MAKE all the cool ideas I want to see in the world? Ugh. UGHHHH!!!

I may not specialize in 18+ content, but I stand by my mature artists when it comes to allowing them the freedom to create stories/art/music without harassment/persecution. Sex, horror, and other mature themes deserve their spots in the creative world.

This is where I post from

Today is going to be a good day because the universe has failed yet again to destroy me and now I'm unleashed for another 12 hours.

please meet Alex the Great, a therapy bunny who works at the San Fran airport and now Giants games to help people who are overwhelmed LOOK AT HIS TINY BALLCAP. LOOK AT IT.

There's few things more aggravating than having 8 different big projects all underway but all in different stages of development so there's NEVER ANY PROGRESS TO SHOW.

Honestly I think my mental health took a sharp upswing the moment I started to actually block/mute words in my feed without shame. Curate you social media with glee. Make your feed something you enjoy looking at again.

I saw this in Tumblr years ago and it's been living in my head. I've never been able to find it again so I remade it myself.

This is no joke! Making comics is absolutely one of the best way to improve your art. It forces you to draw so many things from angles you never expected. Its awesome!

"The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green." Happy Lottery day to you and yours.

Today I forgot how to draw: a blender
