Anyways, I’ve been going through a lot of emotional/spiritual growth this year and have been mostly off social media. It feels good, fam. Anyways, here’s a pic of Athena, who is spoiled as ever and has to eat her hay directly from the box.

It's really OK to change your mind when new facts are presented. It really is.

shaking people violently so they get over themselves and acknowledge the necessity of protecting pornography so literally everything else doesn't get thrown down the garbage disposal

Someone please tell me why, despite there being tons of empty seats in this coffee shop, this man decided to sit in the one next to me.

Someone told me bearded dragons purr when content or gently handled. And while it’s not exactly true, it’s now my headcanon for dragonborns. That’s all I’ve got in my defence.

I know this gets said a lot, but I just want to reiterate how important comments on fics are! It's not because writers demand them, or are "entitled" to them, but because they're genuinely some of the most affirming feedback we could get.

Every artist I’ve ever known has this itch to create that won’t go away until they create. They have to do it. It’s why I know the “finally, someone like me can make art” AI users are full of shit. What they really mean is “finally, a way to get social media likes without hard work”.

I haven't received a pet portrait commission in a long ass time, so just a reminder: I WILL PAINT YOUR CRITTER AND LOVE IT! Check out my website for more neat info! www.kayamalie.com

thank you everyone who still makes art despite everything

"to get anywhere as an artist you need to make instagram reels" "you need to draw memes" "you need to go to conventions" wrong wrong wrong you just need to be insane

There are far more disabled people pretending to be well than there are pretending to be sick. Being on disability is not fun. You’re forced into legislated poverty. Treated like a “useless eater”. Shunned, abandoned and constantly questioned. It’s dehumanizing 🧵

Six hours until these go back to 5 bucks a piece!

I know I’m always asking for help. I’m sorry. My bank account overdrafted again. I need around $40. Anything helps. ko-fi.com/darlingarlo

“Four weeks of this exercise and you’ll look fire in your bikini!” Excuse the fuck out of you, I already look fire in my bikini.

For anyone thinking of getting a carpet rake for pet hair, those things also double as a good core workout. I spent just a couple minutes getting my rabbit’s hair out of the carpet and I can feel it in my abs.

ICE took at least 55 people from Chicago communities today, including restaurant workers.

I really need to go to Trader Joe’s more often. Yeah it’s a little out of my way, but it’s worth it to not wilt a little when I see my total.

Told my dad specifically how bad my state’s transcript rates are and it was so validating to hear how horrified he was.

Things I get excited about in my 30s: not having to wait months for a specialist appointment.

No one should be detained at the airport for their political speech.

The Trump Era has had an interesting impact on the way I respond to fiction. I no longer expect villains to be smart, or anyone to act logically in the face of a crisis, or corruption/conspiracy to be stopped by getting the evidence to the press.

Well, I could apparently use anywhere from 400 to 2500 yards of yarn on this project, so I’m gonna hope the 1200-ish yards of yarn I have is gonna be okay.

Set my teakettle down on my calendar and it left a phallic-shaped water spot, but I can’t show anyone because the calendar has confidential info on it. 😭

They're back!! 😍

Like I need pro-A I folks to stop for 30 seconds and think about the implications of having generated something like this, in the voice of someone who didn't consent to have their work stolen, and how it can be used incorrectly as evidence of that person's thoughts or stances.

One day you’re young, wild, and free; the next day, you hurt yourself from crocheting with cotton yarn.

This is some of the best news since January and I hope it is correct/continues bsky.app/profile/greg...

i'll be opening a handful of sketch comms in exchange for direct donations to trans charities later today/this week, so if anyone wants to be pinged/dm when i do you can comment in this post (no need if you already filled my interest check and marked the sketch option, i'll contact you)

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

Maybe this is harsh, but if anyone posts about HP uncritically or buys HP stuff (books, games, merch), I assume they’re a TERF. Probably not all of them are, but they are ignorant and complicit at best, and I’m not putting my well-being at risk.

I am begging people who excuse JK R's vile views and behavior because 'Harry Potter is my comfort story UwU' to grow up and get a personality. "I'm a Hufflepuff!" No you aren't!! You live in the real world and how you engage with it has real consequences!! Grow up!!

JKR funded the campaign group behind all this btw. This is why we beg you to stop engaging with Harry Potter media.

The characters of that web comic I gave up on! (2019)

I forgot I subscribed to some history newsletter, but man am I glad I did for this headline alone.

Every person on Bluesky should know: * Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever * Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies * Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured * Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic www.404media.co/the-200-site...

I hope it has a happy ending.

Overall I get that the unpaid toll scams are bad and hope people don’t fall for them, but on a personal level, I find it hilarious to receive those texts when I do not own a car and the last time I drove anywhere that required a toll was 2014.

Underrated part of getting to work early: establishing rapport with the security guards. It’s a small thing, but it’s nice to exchange smiles and greetings with someone as the start to your workday.

just wanna remind people that the person who snitched on luigi got none of the promised reward because of random technicalities. you have nothing to gain by being a rat.
