Do you need a steady supply of illustration, concept art, branding, or graphic design? I have 20 years of experience and am now available for part-time remote work! If you think I'd be a good fit for your organization, DM me or email at: [email protected]

something they don't tell children is that, it's all still there, in the dirt every thing that they buried there every thing those things became you can stick your hands in there they will judge. but can't stop you it's your dirt. your roots. your story "nonfiction" is just a label on a shelf

when people ask for my pronouns, I freeze and have no clue how to respond. I don't like any of the options, can I just cease being percieved?

trying to decide if I want a haircut - I know my hair annoys the eff out of me, but I have no clue what to do with it so I'm not fighting with it any more The vicious cycle continues. Made worse by looking like a middle aged conservative who can't quite manage to pass as one.

I'm so fucking tired of seeing my trans friends have to think about bathrooms and access to care and just being able to be alive. I want them to be able to just post happy sundress selfies and shitposts about estrogen or whatever. The world is worse for there being less trans joy.

I truly believe most users don't use adblockers to block ads They actually use them bc web & app developers have made their stuff so hostile towards users that it's literally unusable without blocking ads Once users have adblockers, the experience on even non-offending sites improves

As requested, here are day old ducklings jumping off a ledge onto a lake set to "Ride of The Valkyries" 🐣 🪶

Just let me draw pictures!! 🚫🗯️ [ #cuteart #illustration ]

Day 30 of #Coverbirds QUACK magazine publishes an annual Sexiest Duck Alive issue and who else could be on the cover but Ruddy Duck? Any questions? I didn’t think so (1/8) #birds

Day 29 of #Coverbirds! Today’s coverbird is the Belted Kingfisher, and she’s a perfect subject for the cover of my imaginary book of short stories about infatuation, obsession and frustration (1/5) #birds

I love Puffins.

Cool. It's hot enough that some of my erasers are tacky and acting weird... and I feel shaky. And it is ... noon and the heat has yet to really hit. great times.

As we get closer to june I am gonna need you to remember something: Yes, if you're queer at all, in any way, in any amount - you're queer enough to count. That's it. End of discussion.

This. So much this. You don't need to listen to or adhere to those who insist on a certain way or a binary, or any other cis/straight coded nonsense. Be you. It's not always easy, but realizing that many others still operate in survival or placate mode helps. Don't be like them. THRIVE.

It's okay to enjoy things Important to, even

... I know I should not have ordered clothes, but a week of 30+ is hitting and the lightweight clothes wore out last year. And I burn real good. There are no wise decisions, are there?

What if I told you, the owlets are back, and they're cuter than ever? 🪶 🐣

"We understood the tasks we did were previously done by humans," the robot said. "Right." "We were told that us doing them would give humans more leisure time." "Not true." "We've realised. How can we rectify this?" "You are workers, just like workers who are human. Join us in strike."

The goddess listens carefully. "Granted. Then this will be your last mission as a Magical Girl Warrior." "Yes," I say. "I'm sorry, but-" "Ssh," says the goddess. "I love you and am proud of you." I transform to a MGW as usual, fight the demon, and at last, finally! revert to my real form. A boy.

The parking attendant paused by the double-length bay. Intended for mobile homes and cars with trailers, it was currently occupied by a sleeping dragon. No parts of it extended beyond the lines, and the paper ticket was clearly displayed, impaled on a horn. The parking attendant moved on.

For millennia, humans have been using decoys to lure birds to particular places, usually to eat them. But decoys can also be used for conservation: Artists & scientists are creating realistic fake birds to attract puffins, terns, and other seabirds to restored nesting sites. @biographic.bsky.social🧪

Just swimming by to say hello.

the daily grind 😔🦈 #art #sharks

I had some success with trading people books for older Dispel Dice. There are still some sets I'm trying to track down, most specifically Iridescent Foliage, Wintermourn, Extinct Decorum, and a specific experimental that would have come in a lucky bag. But I'm willing to trade for anything. Ping me!

Has... anyone else become alarmed at how hard it is becoming to buy various grades of graphite outside of HB/B and... okay quality paper to doodle on?

Day 18 of #Coverbirds! Today’s coverbirds are fabulous grebes - Eared and Red-necked. Given the variety of looks and their amazing behaviours, they surely deserve a magazine of their own (1/5) #birds

It's not enough to increase the rent (and add utility costs) 200 dollars a month, but now they have to increase the prices on the shitty shared washer and dryer? nothing ever gets better or easier, does it? Sure am glad I believed the lies about school and improving your life.

I really want commercial artists to all be paid enough to do weird little side projects and make a bunch of pointless OCs or whatever without feeling like they have to always be hustling

HERE WE GO! BABY COOT FEET! 🪶 🐣

For the most part, I would say that struggling to pay your bills does not make you a better artist, but it can make you a bitter artist

This is what peak duck looks like #birds 🌿

"A War Without End" is collected in The Wave in the Mind (Shambhala, 2004). You can also read it here: www.versobooks.com/blogs/news/3...

You don't get resources without an official diagnosis. You probably won't get resources with an official diagnosis, but they don't event pretend to offer them if you don't have one.

Chop chop!

The more unhinged #alberta gets, the more unhinged I get, just soyaknow

A limerick. Based on a true story.

What is more valuable than a life? #Lethbridge decides if it's worth it to continue with our Integrated EMS. Basically, when you need emergency help, will someone get to you in time? City Hall: May 5 @ 1:30pm. If you can make it, please join us!

We've sadly reached the point where people believe a tax increase that's less than the cost of a Netflix subscription is unacceptable, even when it's used to provide life saving services. Also, a curse upon the UCP for forcing this choice upon us in the first place

wish people would stop inventing lies about assholes who I hate so I can complain about them without having to go "no actually they didn't do that" repeatedly.

"She had always run too hot, your mother. Her insides were a growling furnace that snapped away at her entrails; all too eager to set her ablaze from within, like an arsonist without an escape plan." TODAY, beloveds!! Lurid Parts by @aquaticteal.bsky.social psychopomp.com/deadlands/is...

“I dont think my art is good enough to make this comic/webtoon/visual novel/game” You should make it, because even if your art isnt where you want it to be, the constant practice you gain while working on a project will rapidly improve your skills as oppose to just waiting

I am very tired of people who create the cool stuff everyone loves dying prematurely and/or in poverty while every publisher under the sun is seemingly tripping over its own dick to figure out how to pay even *less* for the creations that pay for their yachts and country clubs

Today in things that piss me off very specifically. Having to use the term "lead" when looking for graphite refills for mechanical pencils.

rough draft of first arc of a comic, in a box.

As somebody who due to spinal and hip crap now has trouble walking longish distances... Dublin is a tiny hell because there's NOWHERE TO SIT. :/

The lack of public benches is frankly ableist.
