today i learned that cold plunges are actually shit for women because it causes a spike in cortisol and inflammation. If some dude asked me to do that shit, I'd ask him to eat dirt.

While i acknowledge the sacred beauty of life and all that jazz, there's a part of me that wishes the world would just get along with it already, or otherwise obliterate humanity all together. I'm tired. My heart hurts. I want to rest. youtu.be/Z_hZUt1BbAs?...

jfc, someone hit the reset button. I'm actually legitimately disappointed that Comet 3I/ATLAS wasn't here to destroy us all. -sigh- can our space overlords try a little harder please? the stupid is intolerable.

I have this book of science illustrations "patterns in nature" that features all kinds of cool sea creatures, diatoms, etc. I'll add it to the studies list. I have so many lists. haha 🙃

Those pieces specifically are what inspired the white lines in the recent posca pieces. Unsure if i will use a similar technique with my watercolors, but my focus is more on botanical abstracts. Those landscapes are awesome though.

I saw this lady's work at the open studios art walk a while back, and what a blessing it is to see their work in motion - www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJE4...

I can't get back to sleep. I hope the piece of shit who lives upstairs fucking drops dead. Same for the piece of shit managers of this building who've been aware of the issue for several months. You're a bunch of a scumfucking worthless idiots and I guess I'll see you in court

This scumfucking piece of shit that lives upstairs fucking woke up again early at 530am with their stupid fucking stomping. Got another video, sending it management. Those idiots are out of office from day before yesterday until Monday. Must be nice to be so lazy.

I'm getting better control of saturation, waterflow, color mixing, and blending. It's a rather difficult medium to get good at because it forces you to work quickly. I kind of like that actually.

💪still managed to get a little watercolor practice in tonight. working on a painting of snapdragons.

code talk among friends; "go back to the hotel" is now a polite way to tell someone to kill themselves (on account of the fruit fly fiasco)

RIP to a real one. I will always find stories of creating beauty in the face of adversity endlessly inspiring 🫡🌸 - www.koin.com/news/portlan...

you are literally alive because plants are also breathing. humans are so ungracious to the unfathomable beauty that nature generates. you're not separate from it, so why do you keep destroying it? Don't you know there are better ways?

<- oggle boggled by stomata. what do you mean the plants are actually covered in mouths? The truth is freakier than you think. ;)

SELL IT TO WHO, BEN?? FUCKING PUMAMAN??

They gave me a useful thing also. Today was okay but im still looking for other work too.

Bro handed me a gift card with my late paycheck and I got excited for a minute but then I took thr time to check and it is only for $25. Wow dude. Thanks, I guess. After the transaction fee of $7 I can get a whole coffee or something. Keep your dumb to yourself. It's insulting.

These aren't even things that I should have to bother myself with, but these idiots are too incompetent to be trusted with my well being.

I've already experienced enough tragedy in this life. I will not fight to protect someone who got themselves into a situation that was easily avoidable. Not for people who'd say the same thing if I were assaulted outside their establishment. Scumfucking hyprocritical bullshit man shit

I'm disgusted that I had to put together an escape plan in case that shit goes down again. It's a good thing I got to know this building inside and out. I'm not sticking around if that shit happens again. I'm not helping you. lol

I know my fucking value, do you? Obviously fucking not.

like, you spend several $k on designer shit but can't afford 1 fucking security guard and expect this 5'3" person who you only pay a dollar over minimum wage to save your asses? GET FUCKED

One of the owners just had a kid and if they don't get security personnel on their property sooner than later, that kid might not have a dad. Just saying. Stop being fucking idiots, and do your damn jobs.

I have a feeling that the guy that got locked up for robbing us last month is going to come back and shoot the place up. I don't want to be there when that happens. I already saved your asses once, I think that's enough considering how undervalued my actions were. Save your fucking selves, losers.

I was also told "you shouldn't take it personally, you could definitely kick his ass, just don't kill him haha" I responded "Bro, if that guy fell over in the wrong way, it would take him out, shit's sad af lol"

I look around this world and all i see is strong women cleaning up after atrociously childish disgusting men. They literally don't do shit.

Just a bunch of spoiled close-minded losers with temper problems. Sickening.

One of my co-workers said to me "I bet (name redacted) has never had to face any hardship in their whole life". That's what I gathered and told them as such then explained how little character development happens in such cases. You work the same shitty job your whole life, no diverse experiences

You're not paying me enough to fix your 'kitchen nightmares' levels of issues. Do it yourself. Y'all brag so much about your degrees in this and that, what does it matter if you don't use what you learned? These nepo fuckers are absolutely useless

And every single one of them pays more than what I'm making right now, every single one of them, and I bet they pay on time too, because they actually use a fucking time card or clockin app like a real fucking business. I could explain all of the issues with my current job, but it's above m paygrade

Applied for so many jobs this morning. I can imagine myself in many positions. I have many skills and so can fit many places.

This apartment's not even that shitty, just shit for what I'm paying for. It's the people upstairs that are the fucking problem. Dumb ass childish people who can't not stomp around first thing in the morning. They're aware, the noise will stop for like 2 days, then they're right back at it. rubbish

As if I didn't spend the last 3 years before this shitty apartment taking Portland's scumfucking slumlords to court. I'll do again. Fuck with me dude, i swear to fucking god I will do again.

Like why the fuck should I continually be harassed by the sounds of the ugly man upstairs? Why haven't you don't anything about it? Is it because I have a vagina? Is it because I'm queer? My rent has never been late, not once. I don't bother my neighbors. weird, almost like you've got a problem w/ME

I should just start filing all kinds of random reports to harass my apartment's management company. There are many things that I could say that could get them in some very hot water and I'm not happy that they keep playing these stupid games and not doing their goddamn jobs.

2 more paintings in progress. got coffee and waffles. Dreading the day job. Riding out stupid holiday weekend. Oh, got another hundo in merch out yesterday. Lots of things are back in stock and I've got appointments lined up for both upcoming weekends. Blow me like you know me, homie.

If fact, half of you assholes are just reposting scam accounts like idiots. awesome platform. works great.

Also to all the dumbasses with their virtue signalling, sharing donation campaigns without doing any research and just reposting because they think it's the 'right' thing to do; You're not connecting with anyone. You're not doing anything. If you want to connect with people, speak to them directly.

I have so many questions because from where I'm standing, I'm doing everything right and don't understand where these misunderstandings or complete disrespect are coming from. It's sickening. Keep your shitty people and shitty noises away from me. I'm sick of all of it.

It's fucking with my mental health. Not only because I'm losing sleep, but because I constantly have thoughts of "why the fuck am I still having to deal with this? Why are these people so shit? Why the FUCK is it like this? Am I not paying for quiet in my own home? Why the fuck are men so shitty?"

Good morning, by the way, the piece of shit manchild upstairs woke me up again with his bullshit stomping at 6am. He's a fucking piece of shit and I hope he drops dead. Same for the shitty fucking apartment staff not doing their fucking jobs. It's trash that I'm having to fight for quiet i pay for

Hey, having your 'donate to me' page show up in my notifications without context is a great way to get your account flagged. Fucking scammers, stay the fuck off bsky.

the warming feeling of holding a jar of alive mycelium fills my heart with joy. it's warm because it's very alive and healthy and doing its thing. happy little fungi make me happy :)

that's how it feels going to my gallery after my day job

I'm back from the gallery. dropped off new art, offloaded another shelf, organized some stuff, got a lot of bead work done, ate some snacks, brought back some gifts. I need dinner and a shower or something. To me it's just another work day, naturally. I don't let things like holidays dictate my vibe

We wish you a Merychippus, and a happy New Year! This Miocene, three-toed horse hopes everyone has a safe and cozy holiday season. 🐴🎄

this could be us, but you clownin'

This goes hard lol may your holiday see you many trees youtu.be/OZBXTBeYhQY?...

Any time I see a little kit of prefab anything, there's a pull, and instant urge in me that says "PLEASE, LET ME MAKE THE CUTE LITTLE THINGS WITH MY HANDS! AH! THAT IS MY FUNCTION! LET ME AT IT!"

If you ever wanted a super sick gunpla but didn't feel like taking the time to build it yourself; uh, I'm that bitch. Hand that to me pleeeeeeease.
