Christmas gifts arrived today. @scalzi.com 's When The Moon Hits Your Eye for dad. @tkingfisher.com 's Hemlock and Silver for mom. I'm a good son, yes?

Note to self: make a trip to Detroit soon to see the Robocop statue there. Yes, it is finally real. www.metrotimes.com/arts/detroit...

Also consider commissioning my husband @demitsorou.bsky.social, they make amazing digital art! demitsorou-comms.carrd.co

Since it's December, here's a fresh new pinned message! Hi, I am Art, I am a hungry, broke as fuck Russian digital brick builder, and I can't for the love of me find a job. Please help me feed myself and my husband by donating: boosty.to/themugbearer... hipolink.net/the_mugbeare...

My weather app has warned me temperatures are going to be very cold tonight. Every hour. On the hour. For the past few days!!! I GET IT ALREADY!!!!

Been thinking about my April Fools Prank for next year. I might go the video route for accessibility's sake. The website I want to use for it is kind of a visual novel making site, but the game viewer is small. Being vague cause spoilers and I know some FFXIV FC peeps follow me :3

Hey all, The Onion is accepting applicants for our writing, video and graphics fellowships. Fellowships last six months, pay well, and provide full benefits. You can apply at theonion.com/fellowship.

Got a USB Ethernet adapter to my computer. It works. All it needs to do, really.

ATTN: Fellow artists perpetually in search of background noise! www.myretrotvs.com This site streams retro TV, divided up by genre and decade. Watch news broadcasts from the 70s Movie trailers from the 80s Cartoons from the 50s Soap operas from the 60s And a lot more It's pretty fuk'n great!

Waking up to a gaming computer that doesn't connect to the internet but my Laptop tied into the exact same network hub via Ethernet cable does is... concerning. Hitting all the quick fix guides online, hoping one of these does the thing.

Been spending most of this four day holiday relaxing, but did get a little work on the April Fools' idea. December I have a big ol' vacation coming up, and that's the perfect time to crunch this out. I am a bit crazy, but hopefully it'll get a laugh from my Free Company!

Playing FFXIV and listening into to Lions game via Radio. What a combo

Been drawing a little bit to try and nail the artstyle of Ace Attorney, or at least close to it. I think I did okay, now to get to work on drawing a lot of stuff for April Fools. Oh yes, it's a lot of work. But hopefully the results will be funny.

Cartoon: Santa Cthulhu :)

Ok yeah uh... we're back to this state of being.

Due to working the weekend, have had no time to make Thanksgiving meal preparations. Then again, it'll just be me alone this time around. >,> Are Pizza Shops open Thanksgiving day?

Worked overtime last weekend. Saturday my elderly coworker asked me about the attendance "point" system. Yesterday, he didn't show up. Hmmm... maybe he's seriously considering retiring.

Hi! We're not starving anymore but still broke! Please consider sharing around and donating! Thank you !

Y'all have NO idea how excited I am for the return of PlayFrame's story mode. Especially since I helped out quite a bit with content that at this point I should shaddup about. Spoilers and all that :)

This little announcement video contains my highest-effort silly match cut yet. I'm glad it worked out, because there is literally no way to attempt recording the first half again

Having to turn off Smart Features on all my GMail accounts. All due to AI nonsense, and it gets rid of all of those good filters that didn't NEED AI in the first place. Unsubscribed from a LOT of newslists as well. And yes, I am aware Proton exists. I'll look into it if need be.

Big job this weekend at work. Mandatory overtime. And then some engineer went "Oh, I also need this done over the weekend as well!" *flips table in disgust*

Living through history is not fun

I am having a really rough go of it as of late. Snap is here but it barely covers a week of food. And I’m also just feeling especially swamped- physically, mentally, emotionally. Please please please help if you are able.

This upcoming Thanksgiving, it'll just be me, alone, for the big dinner. Things just didn't line up with family this time around. No need for any "Woe is ye" condolences, however. Being alone on a holiday is a welcome break.

There's a good chance I'll end up working this weekend. Which is a rarity in my job, but it happens sometimes. Thankfully nothing big planned, and I could use the extra income for gifts and whatnot.

Today's been a day of driver updates and BIOS firmware stuff. All because of an error message this morning that popped up saying "No Devices Finded". Worded exactly like that. Gigabyte motherboards, man..

Edited my April Fools script, added some stuff, removed some stuff, and at this point I think it's good to start making artwork for it. It probably won't be perfect, but the amount of effort I'm putting into this is going to make people think I'm crazy. Which... okay fair >.>

Hello fellow nerds! I've got a hypothesis about the intersectionality of gamers and disabilities I'm trying to test. Even if you're not a gamer or disabled, please take 10 minutes and fill this out! Thanks so much, and feel free to ask me any questions. forms.gle/S7F7iSGMAMd7...

#FFXIV Free Company member needed help with a few maps. I joined in. I FINALLY get the Yan mount!!

Okay, no more copy editing my scripts at night. Went to bed at about 4am last night because of that. Thank goodness I work the afternoon shift ×_×

Hey uh... we're very broke and currently starving and we need money. Like, really badly. Please donate: boosty.to/themugbearer... hipolink.net/the_mugbeare...

Internet went out and back at my house apparently. Didn't affect me, I was at work. And nothing important was being uploaded or downloaded, so yay for conveniently timed inconveniences?

It's been a few days since I finished the script for my April Fools idea. I should... look it over again soon, shouldn't I? Considering I finished it at like 3AM Sunday night >.>

Was woken up way earlier than normal today by a phone call, now my circadian rhythm is all out of whack.

Welp, my first Cable Internet outage at my house. Guess this was an inevitability, due to the whole Monopoly thing thr provider has in my area. It's either them or 5G, which is more expensive and slower ×,×

Updating: Birthday has come and gone, bills are still tight and while my state looks to be sending out SNAP I won't know until it hits. While I do all I can on my end to make ends meet, anything you can spare helps. #transcrowdfund #helpsky #disabilitycrowdfund 💕💸 #mutualaid #transpride #pride

Anyone else get the feeling the system is working as intended, and needs to be dismantled?

Finally finished the script for my April Fool's Day gag next year. Now to start working on getting some assets made and- Good lord, it's 3AM. How did THAT happen??

First snow of the year has arrived. It was inevitable, and it won't leave for at least 6 months >.>

This April Fools' Day related script is slowly coming together. Hoping to get this done by the end of the month, then working on assets in December before getting everything stitched together in January and playtested for February and March. Boy I hope nothing delays me >.>

The trip I want to take next year for a convention is either going to be by plane, which is way more economical, or by train, which is way more expensive and a several day journey. And yet given the way things are right now and where things might be heading, train may be the only option :/

The fact that I can't remove the AI Sticker option in my Emoji section is driving me batty. I can remove GIFs, Emoji pairs, and plenty of other options, but NOT the AI bullcrap?! At least it's turned off, but the little red indicator of "new" is bothering me.

Editorial cartoon: Don't bread on me. Enjoy :)

Facilitator at work came in, started talking about the latest gossip. I immediately left to fill my water bottle, because I dont want to hear which restrooms I need to avoid from now on 😵‍💫

Seems like last night was pretty good for inspiring hope for the future. Let's keep at it.

The surest sign of a high IQ is NOT paying 15 dollars for the result of a free online test.

Since there's no election scheduled for the state or my county, I basically can't vote for anything today. Here's hoping for the best in the places that do have votes going on.

I wanted to live in the "Flying cars and world peace" future. Not the "Your toaster needs a firmware upgrade" future...

Oh my goodness- in just one weekend, I've gotten over 1/3 of the way to securing the funds for this machine. If you'd like to help a disabled artist- and get some cool art in thanks- every bit helps! -Sara
