I don't have the proper words to say more than this now but I was just laid off. My role at Giant Squid is being eliminated. If your studio is looking for an environment artist, please let me know ASAP. I have 5+ years of experience. thank you

Happy St. Patrick's Day. If you plan to drink, also plan how you will travel. Do. Not. Drive. Drunk.

In honor of International Blackadder Status Day: "The Pimpernel is the most overrated human being since Judas Iscariot won the A.D. 31 Best Disciple Competition."

My parents are in Florida (and I'm in Washington state) and my 93-year-old had what they're calling a "sinking incident" where his heart is in rhythm but his blood pressure drops and he faints/falls. He was in the hospital overnight. They're supposed to fly home on Saturday but maybe can't travel.

Try to experience at least three of the Nine Delights today:

Upcoming economic protest actions.

Happy Twin Peaks Day to those who celebrate it.

I'm sick. Last night I was feverish, stuffed up, and kept having coughing fits that I had to fight or I would black out. Just going to be quiet today.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

I find this oddly empowering.

What do you think of these strategies?

Act, but take care of yourself. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

Fair question:

Boosting.

This morning, looking out at the snow, I remembered times when my joy gave me an advantage, when it knocked bullies off balance. So take this joy with you today. Take a deep breath, and remember who the f**k you are. No one can ever take that from you. youtu.be/yf0Amcgxot8?...

That Wright Brothers thing goes hard.

I needed to read this today. statuskuo.substack.com/p/is-somebod...

I'm working hard on this.

THIS PLANE CRASH IS 100% TRUMP'S FAULT AND HERE IS WHY.

I had lunch with my Dad over the weekend. It was not one of his good days. It made this all the more poignant.

At age 60, I can honestly say that if I haven't healed from childhood events, I might never. But I refuse to let that stop me from being the best version of myself.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Points to ponder.

Just for fun, what can we add?

Define "keep going" for yourself. Maybe do a load of laundry or take a shower. Run one errand. Eat something. Just do what you can. Like I used to say: We'll keep it simple. If you've got your boots on, you can march.

Good advice for today

I can see, in my past, when I've sabotaged myself. This... this hits hard.
