This is freakin awesome!

Nobody talks about how having a lil chill time in a bathroom stall to decompress is extremely powerful

Acquired some nootnoots yesterday. 🫶 @pepperraccoon.com

My wife keeps trying to trick me into sleeping and resting but I’m too conniving and evil

Man I kinda wanna move to New York

I HAD SNACKS WITH @ellearmageddon.bsky.social NATURE IS HEALING

OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN (I’m in NZ)

Current laptop back, with stickers from @pepperraccoon.com , @museum.of.emilyk.art , @dropout.tv , @goblinmkt.bsky.social @tumblr.com , and more

Come see me at Kawaiicon for one of these ridiculous stickers (I’m on my iBook fucking up ur shit)

So in order to get my Siser to cut I always need to reset the ip address, unless I’m on the old thinkpad in which case it needs to be hard wired when you open a file you might need to reset the cut marks but sometimes instead you need to reselect the paper size and sometimes you need to close…

Absolute LAST CALL for Kawaiicon pickup orders from pepperraccoon.com. Place your order in the next 30 mins and select pickup if you’ll be at the con, and flick me a DM so I know x any received after that, sorry but I won’t be in studio for the rest of the week!

Ok who set my printer to PISS ONLY setting?

if you want to know what happened to Teen Vogue yesterday, my work wife @allegrak.bsky.social — who ran our politics section for 6 years until this past June — said it all in this. can't even pull out a favorite part til I sign my separation letter lol, just read the whole thing.

YAYYYYYYY

It's con week! Ahh! Whether you have been coming since we were Kiwicon, or are a hacker con newbie, there's probs new stuff happening around the venue that you haven't heard of. Take a look! 🧵

If you can't make it to the con or can't safely attend - there's still a way to participate! This year we are live streaming to Twitch. So come hang out with us in cyber space instead: kawaiicon.org/livestream/

Mine just arrived.

Welp went to work to ship orders and NZ post is extremely broken so uh.. *twiddles thumbs*

Hey #Kawaiicon pals, I'm already bringing a few orders to the con, so if you want anything from pepperraccoon.com, place an order TODAY OR TOMORROW and leave a note on the order (and select pickup so you don't have to pay shipping), and I'll bring it to the con for you x

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

So I just cancelled my event bookings for the rest of the year. I officially have TOO MUCH STUFF to do events, it’s legit ridiculous to shlep tables and tubs and assemble shelving and all of that. Please order online, I’m so very tired 😂

Any support would be immensely appreciated<3 In case you'd like to check out my stuff: ko-fi.com/valeriakaras...

This is so sweet and I am just so pleased

Signing up for Canva so I can use Affinity and whinging the entire time

Hi I might not be able to code but I can turn a csv into cute address labels and surely that’s worth six figure salary

now that baseball is over we can focus on a real sport: super monkey ball

startin to feel like it's never gonna happen

Man baseball people are so chill most of the time and then the World Series happens it’s suddenly floor to ceiling wall to wall artisanal Posters’ Posts wtF lmao

I really love living overseas where no one gives a fuck about baseball and just explaining what baseball is. 😂

This is the story of the ass of my favourite tie dye sweatpants

I’m beginning to suspect Bsky is making decisions based on how to create the most sterile website they can sell off so they don’t have to deal with it anymore

Married her yesterday.

Brb just gonna figure this out

Just market things: I’ve had to piss for TWO HOURS

Me too. I love what @pepperraccoon.com creates. Off to spend my meagre royalties because art for art is a great way to live life.

The most completely mundane replies being hid in my mentions without my consent or control is absolutely ridiculous and outrageous. @pfrazee.com y’all gotta give us back control of our own accounts this is out of hand. Literally hid a cat picture someone sent me.

UNPROMPTED VALIDATION 😍😍😍

Promoting @pepperraccoon.com because it is nearly the festive part of the year, their range of goodies is very cool, and I am obsessed with the raven pins they sell. I must purchase more as I keep giving them away.
