Something so fun about today: not only did Juno go in for surgery ($$$$) did they find more tumors than expected (+$$$), but our car died on the way to go pick her up, , which effectively deletes all the money I've made working 60+ hour weeks for the past two months. soooo cool :)

Juno has a lot of cancer, but hopefully has less now than before.

Had a genuine one-star rideshare experience, and when he drove away I got an email from Lyft like 'heyyyyy sweatie! We know you're a highly-rated rider, so SUPER WEIRD you just got a low rating! Were you in a itty-bitty meanie-weanie mood today? You should read our rider code of conduct!'

In a conversation with GLAAD Gaming, I was a Teenage Exocolonist narrative designer Lindsay Ishihiro reflects on crafting characters with agency, queer representation, and the importance of stories that challenge players to think deeper.

Scary sentences you don't want to be asked at the doctor's office: "...so, what's your lifetime maximum for prescription drugs?" (I'm fine, but the new meds are approximately $30k/year.)

Absolute banner day for receiving news via the Destiel meme and/or emoji-laden hypersexual chain texts.

I maded this! They let the writer-geographer have enrichment in their cage!

A KPDH thought I’ve been wrestling with: I thought it was pretty transparent that the Saja Boys were intended to be a commentary of shallow idol culture. They appear out of nowhere and demand your idolatry, despite having no substance other than their pretty faces. Just vibes and hunger.

Just chomped down on Strange Jigsaws, a short but satisfying puzzle game that really makes you think about what it means to 'play' with a game that's being playful with you right back.

The Holiday Cheer index is off the charts and it’s only November 1, which is a bad thing considering what it indicates: how bad the year was that the prospect of (literal and figurative) light at the end of it is propping up my mental health.

Last night it rained hard enough that Momo chose to stay home, so we got snacks, made tapioca and butter mochi, and finished S1 of Wednesday. She went to bed two hours late with a stomachache from eating too many treats, so she got the full experience.

It's been twenty years to the day since @hapabara.bsky.social and I met, officially now over half my lifetime ago! I couldn't have known, wrapping myself in medical gauze before going to class, that I would meet my future husband that night - or anything else that's happened in our life together.

Momo’s developed the drummer reflex of ‘tap along to every song in earshot with perfect rhythm’ and, on one hand, that’s so cool! On the other: oh… no…

Momo won the pumpkin contest at school! 🏆🎃

We had a vision this year.

my doctor in christ, the appointment was for 9:15 in the morning, how are you already 30 minutes behind

As expected, "don't worry about AI taking your jobs, because we'll need humans to check their work" was a complete lie.

POV: you get up early to write, but apparently it’s cold in the house

Anyone else's notifications page doing a thing where the text of 'liked' notifications is smaller than replies/mentions? social media UI people need to be stopped

New How Baby!

I wrote words for this thing about the thing that I'm writing words for! 🌱💀🐝

The grocery store we get our deliveries from has fucked up their search engine so bad, it's almost useless. I presume they added some sort of AI backend, because it's clogged with ✨ Recipe Ideas and a terribly bad chatbot. How bad does your AI rollout have to be to end up with this?

I SPELLED BUREAUCRACY RIGHT THE FIRST TIME 🎉

Cozy Crime Scene Cleaner. Is this anything. Round corners, bright palette, you're unionized with benefits, the mob takes excellent care of your family; cops never catch you bc they're too busy having ice cream socials with marginalized youth. You clean up after murders bc it's the right thing to do.

Watched the new Frankenstein in 35mm last night and I think it might have taken top spot as one of my favourite movies ever. There's a line in it towards the end that, if you know me, you'll immediately clock when I barely stopped myself from making a noise of sheer horny delight.

Me: wow it’s so busy! so, so busy. Juno: what if Juno: and hear me out Juno: cancer!! again (It’s her fourth bout with mast cell tumors, it’s…….. Fine, as far as cancer goes, but hey. Hey. World? What the fuck.)

It happened to me: fell asleep in the middle of writing a sentence last night and can't remember how I intended to end it.

crisis averted, ate cookie

this isn't cute or heartwarming!!! lindsays only make cookies at nine pm when they're VERY STRESSED!

why is minutiae spelled like that. why is it pronounced like that.

Powerwash Simulator 2 coming out and House Flipper 2 releasing DLC on October 23... new Plant Crafter DLC coming out November 17... it's a great time to love a very specific kind of game

AI logos are bad enough, but logos with the piss filter are even worse.

Now that I have my own printer and it's cost-effective to do short runs, I pulled these DA2 prints out of mothballs for Penticon and they were a big hit! They're paired postcards; the string on all the Hawkes matches the one on all the love interests.

Doing my part to suppress Momo's entrance into Cool Teenagerdom by genuinely liking bbno$ and throwing off her understanding of what 'boring old people' listen to.

Surprised Pikachu leaving the RMT after telling him to 'go hard' because it feels like he installed a brand new shoulder in there. Gonna drink a gallon of water, lay on a heating pad, and burn some sage after that one.

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

Truly in the spirit of niche: proxies shouldn’t be allowed in artist alleys. Be physically here, or get moved to the vendor area.

A convention experience that simply cannot be matched: selling someone a book and them coming back the next day to cuss you out for making them cry twice.

saw a post i liked on tumblr today.....didnt see that they'd posted it on their account here but i wish they would its a sentiment that resonated w me more than making "good" art it's just important to make art....thanks man

A selection of warrior kitties from day one ❤️

Saw a medieval-themed brew pub on the way in and I no-scoped calling it as the place to eat tonight, because the Sword People from the con walked in ahead of us and a giant KPop Demon Hunters group walked in after.

All set up in Penticton! We had our requisite contastrophe already: left the portfolio with all the extra prints and signage at home. Ahhh!! But I made some new ones and it’s okay because Motherlover is FLYING off the table here.

I mean, I appreciate it, but I’m pretty sure that Spotify delivering me a daylist that’s entirely The Mountain Goats (“anti-folk stomping grounds”) means that either the algorithm is broken or it has no idea what to do with me. Or both.

Pacific Northwest horror: this is a photo I couldn’t take of the still-steaming carcass of a deer in the road, a police officer walking slowly towards it, everything silhouetted in red and blue through the fog rolling in.

Andi's been one of the longest and most steadfast fans of my comic work. It's an honour to walk with her for this part of her life after she's shared part of mine. If you can spare a dime in these times, please show up for one of our own.

🎵 It's the most wonderful time of the year!

The duality of marriage is that I have been sitting under a 25° heater and @hapabara.bsky.social has opened the bedroom window to the 4° night.

My biggest haters are twelve-year-old girls, because the withering 'you're so full of shit' look I got after this one was legendary.

I'm a squash hater. Sorry, autumn. The only good squashes are kabocha and delicata and even they're on thin ice.
