I mean - the other thing is, it’s hard to be creative when the world is burning down around you and half the country is riding the high that is the cruelty of this administration. So many people are suffering here and abroad because of us….it’s just a waking horror every single day.

Someone posted this article on threads and my only thought was Oh shit. This describes me to a tee and I’m going to need some time to process this. But I think this might also describe a lot of perimenopausal, GenX/Xennial women especially oldest daughters, too. www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/ar...

It’s been a great long while since I’ve posted - two months. I haven’t gone that long without drawing since I started in 2022. A lot has changed, It’s difficult for me to find the time and more importantly the space and the privacy to draw but I’ve done it the last couple of days and it’s

Holy shit this is gorgeous

What in the absolute fuck

so…a week or so or two late but as usual using Lunar New Year as a reset point. After nearly 4 months after my move, I’ve finally hit a little tiny bit of a routine. Things are evening out, I’m less…traumatized than I was in November. It’s been difficult moving back in with my parents and

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

@andria-kennedy.com Andi-I just checked my email. Thank you!!!! Your kindness means so much. 2026 here we come! Seriously-it WILL be a better year than 2025. We’ll make sure of it!

After the move it’s been difficult to keep up the practice and I feel the skills slipping away! Gonnato spend the last few days of 2025 cramming in the last hours I have access to @21_draw (thanks again to @andria-kennedy.com ). Will post one more drawing before 2025 comes to a welcome close.

It’s been over a month since I’ve really sat down and drawn anything! I did this quickly just to get the juices flowing. I really feel like I forgot how to draw. Glad to be in the final month of this awful year! Thanks to all the hosts of the #felinefestivechallenge #felinefestivechallenge2025

Nov 1st - just under the wire. Just a quick one today. It felt good to actually draw something today. #doodleswithpinkee Cozy Tea @doodleswithpinkee #funinautumn25 Pumpkin Magic & Full Moon

Hey @andria-kennedy.com Happy Meowvember! I’ve been offline for most of last month so didn’t get my act together for this but let’s do it again next year? Hope you’ve been well! (or at least surviving - it’s been a rough year).

Sep 30 - Oct 1 - I meant for this to be the last post of the month, but I got a little behind. (Basically instead of drawing I should have been packing.) A few mixed prompts that were all a little retro. Vinyl, Flip Phone, Headphones

Sep 26 - This is my last post of September (probably). Another remix of prompts from a lot of different places. I still feel like my art style — is that of no style. So I’m trying to experiment more but what comes out is inevitably this…

Sep 26 - Counting down the days to moving day. I think that’s why I haven’t been able to draw much lately. Not for lack of time, but for brain clutter. Logistics, packing, cleaning both my apartment and my parents garage. 🧵

Sept 22 - Trying to do justice to @christinehantzo ‘s beautifully painted OC, Chatouille. #ocswapchallenge2025 Thanks to the hosts! @bay.__.laurel @loracgnuel @mintbearmotif @shrubsyart @struwwelart @squealingsquiggles

Sept 21 - OK this one took a long time. I’ve included a blue background, an orangey background and the version I did that I hated—which is not too dissimilar to the final version 🤷‍♀️ As always, Thanks to the hosts!

Sep 18-I just don’t know if I’m ever going to get this right. The first pic is where I landed after a couple of days & now the sketches are where I am now Everything looks wrong & I can’t get the anatomy or the perspective right Soooo this continues to be a WIP It might be time to bust out a DTIYS!

Sept 17 - Bun is back frolicking in the autumn leaves. Lots of duplicates - so a long list of prompts today Autumn/Leaves/Autumn Picnic Apple Cider/Pinecone/Acorns And similar Thank you to the hosts for all the prompts. Today was a particularly fun one.

Sep 14 - I kind of like how chaotic this ended up being — so many colors and shapes just jumbled together — she’s having fun. Special thanks to the artists who let me use their stickers in my drawing. In no particular order @miiasoey @mokopuni.arts @annafloof.png

Sep 12 - Apparently I can’t keep track of the days anymore because I’ve been unemployed for so long. I love the change into fall because cozy season begins and with it, blankets, curling up in a chair with hot tea, and brisk autumn nights. As always thanks to all the hosts!!

"Medical decisions belong in the hands of trained and licensed professionals, not incompetent and misguided leadership," Kerry Kennedy, Kennedy's sister, said. "The decimation of critical institutions like the NIH and the CDC will lead to the loss of innocent lives." she wrote.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Sep 12 - Just a little stew or soup to warm everyone up with the weather changing Sunset & Bonfire #cutetember25 @purple_violette_ @jemibuni @nuralsColorfulart @puffyiee @codename_kuma @kutetokki Stew/Soup/Simmer Pot/Cauldron/wooden spoon #cozyseptemberick #Stopdropdoodle

Sep 9 - I actually finished this one. I don’t hate it. I like that the last few posts used the same palette (the one @morningcrocodiles provided this month). I wish I could put colors together like this but so far…palette is a work in progress for me…

Sept 08 - Can’t believe we’re already 1 week in on September. Books/Bookshop/Library: #chooseyourdoodle #chooseyourdoodle2025 #morningcrocodoodles #morningcrocodoodles2025 #littlelifesept25 #lafloralsdoodleacademy Knit Scarf: #Cozyseptemberick #sweetseptemberdays25 #sweetseptemberdays

Sept 7 - It’s a dango party and this tuxie cat is psyched about it. Thanks to all the hosts of these September prompts. Dango: #chooseyourdoodle #chooseyourdoodleseptember @mymcdoodles #bubblyseptembersweets @bubbly.studioss #doodleswithpinkee #doodleswithpinkee2025 @doodleswithpinkee

Sept 5-6 Crossing over into cozy fall stuff. If you’re a prompt hoarder like me, it takes forever to gather all the prompts to mash together, but here they are: Pumpkin stuff & Cozy Itchy Chunky Sweater

We took the paywall down on this one. defector.com/how-the-fuck...

Sep 03 - It’s time for Back To School and That’s the exciting time that you get your backpack together. I personally love Hangy Odon and am glad he found a place as a backpack trinkey thingy.

Sep 2 - When you sketched something, put it away for a few hours and……..don’t remember what the idea was . At all. But hey, here’s a head.

Some new street art spotted in DC 🤣

Sep 1 - I can’t believe we’re in September. Today we’re celebrating (really the wrong word) more—acknowledging that this is the month of packing and by the end of the month - I’ll be out of my home of 10+ years. The best I can muster is…it’s happening. And…that’s all I’ll say about that right now.

August 30 - Here’s US Open post. It’s been about a decade since I was last there but always fun jaunt out to Flushing. Hopefully I’ll be able to make it next year. #usopen2025 #kawaii #kawaiicat #kawaiicatsofinstagram #usopen2025🎾 #yourserve

Aug 29-30 - you ever draw something and hate it all the way through from beginning to end? Well that this one for me. And a good riddance to summer #endofSummer #kawaiicat #kawaii #goodbyesummer #hawaiianshavedice #shavedice

Aug 27/28 - I haven’t done many summery posts this year, so going to cram a few in before the month leaves. #icecream #icecreamlovers #kawaii #kawaiicat #catsofinstagram #blackcatsofınstagram #blackcats

Aug 26 - Beachy Cat enjoying the beach while she can. Summer’s not going to be around forever. #kawaii #kawaiiart #kawaiicat #beachcat #beachcats

Aug 25 - I haven’t seen K Pop Demon Hunters yet (no netflix) but I’ve seen so much of Derpy and Sussie that I had to join in. Very fun to draw. #kpopdemonhunters #kpdh #kawaiiart #kawaiiderpy #kawaiicharacters

CEO on LinkedIn: "I don't screen for credentials, I screen for passion. I don't look at degrees, I look at dedication. I don't see prior experience, I see positive potential." Candidate: "Amazing! And what does your outsourced HR software filter for?" CEO: "Oh credentials, degrees and experience."

Aug 24 - Time for some mochi donuts that hopefully doesn’t look like a teething ring. I really need to keep up with tutorials because I am just not not able to draw anything but a head on view of anything, i guess.

Aug 22 - Sometimes the call from mom is just this. I couldn’t decide on a colorway and still don’t truly like either, but I have to move on otherwise I’ll be recoloring forevah.

The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios. At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024. Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570. That’s a ratio of 632 to 1. How can anyone defend this?

Aug 20 - another repost from January. I am still begging Apple to bring the iPod back! With Bluetooth, audiobook and ebook support. And expanded memory to say…1T 🤷‍♀️

August 20 - here’s the last Jonathan repost. He’s catching Aurora borealis to power his home cave

I feel like if I don’t set a deadline I’ll never divest from meta, aka the evil empire (not to be confused with all the other evil empires). so….let’s call it end of year for a full transition. no threads, no IG, and I only do FB for the buy nothing group in my area so…ugh.

Aug 18 - It really is that kind of a Monday. And I can’t believer we’re going into another month and I still haven’t found a job

Aug 17 - Just making it under the wire for International Black Cat Appreciation Day.
