Today my mom was supposed to have come home from the hospital. Instead we are making arrangements for her memorial service. I am heartbroken.

Mom's coming home from the rehab facility in a couple of days! Yay! She had a couple of issues post-surgery (hence her rehab stay), but so far the surgery seems to have worked. Keeping fingers crosses. #fuckcancer

Mom's surgery went well. She's still in rehab hospital for now because she's still not at her baseline. She'll soon be out of the danger from the surgery though, which is a blessing. Only time now will tell if we caugh the cancer early enough. But signs are good. Anyway #fuckcancer

Decided to learn something fun along side the training and language courses. Since I'm a visual artist, and I don't have much experience in creating digital art, I signed up for a couple of courses to learn how to use digital art software. 1/2

Mom was discharged from the hospital to the rehab facility (she's still not at physical baseline right now) but she made it through her surgery. She's not quite out of the woods yet, but this is a good sign... Fuck cancer.

This one's good. Give it a go.

Alliance members in the game I play started making fat jokes in game chat. "Nothing personal. Just a saying." They said when I called them out on it. Had to log out of the game to get my head in the right space again. It may not have been personal, it may have been...1/2

I said this before, I'll say it again: Fuck cancer.

This one's good. Give it a go.

What would humans do if they had a universal basic income? They would find meaning in all the things that society currently doesn’t value. Not because those things are inherently without value – but because markets don’t always accurately value all human endeavors.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Sometimes I hop onto bsky and imagine what it would look like if all my friends’ basic needs were met by universal healthcare, guaranteed housing, and a UBI. All of which America can 100% afford.

When you want to buy an album but you can't afford it.

@hmclarkeauthor.bsky.social I was looking at your books, and was wondering, considering the current negative climate surrounding GenAI, if you--or, if you utilize outside sources, they--use it to create the covers of your books?

I need to print out a copy of my novel, so I can do some deep edits on it. But...I need to fix my printer first. Which means I need to physically lift it from where it's sitting so I can get to the mechanism. Sigh, I just hope I don't drop it and really break it while I move it.

A woman opens up about how her father died because he wasn't given his life-saving medication after being abducted by ICE

NOTE TO SELF: Don't throw away all small plastic containers anymore!!! Crap. Used to save small containers left from stuff like cream cheese to use with media in my art. I must've lost my mind the last time I cleaned cuz I yeeted all my containers, and now that I need one, I don't have any left!

Spent the last 30 minutes trying to figure out historical costs, prices, etc. I'm doing this research for a fanfiction set in the 13th century... Maybe I can be a little less thorough. lol

I was looking at taking some free classes online for QuickBooks, but I'd still have to pay for QB, but there's no way in hell for me to pay for the $450+yearly pricetag for the subscription. Wish I could crowdfund that stuff, but never had any luck that way. Ugh...

WHY do I always fall in love with such long book series? I have a list that seems like it's a mile long of just 3 book series that I want to get...It's going to take forever for me to afford to pay for it all...at least until I start working again.

WTF is the point of paying for a streaming service, if the service still makes you watch ads? I mean, the reason I used to for a streaming service was to get content without the ads...

IG: So...you logged into a computer we never saw before, so you're gonna have to wait a few days to access your other accounts. Me: I was literally logged in to my account a half hour ago on this computer, what do you mean you never saw it before? For goodness sakes, make it make sense.

I keep getting choked up as I see posts on SM about people losing their loved ones that keep reminding me that very soon, I will have to say goodbye to my own mother soon. It's going to take me a while to come to terms with this. Fuck cancer

Last day of Pride Month which means everyone should totally go buy my books because this has been my slowest month all year! 😱 Help a lady get some final sales! 🫶💪

Coming face-to-face with a parents mortality is not an easy thing. I was estranged from my dad when he passed away, and things were super complicated with him up until the end...but I still mourned him. Now here I am facing it again. My mom is dying. She was recently diagnosed with...1/x

Anyone else remember that kids show, Ghostwriter? I loved that show, even though it was for kids and I was grown when it first came out...

Trying to understand why my moderation settings would hide a video of a momma dog cuddling with her first born puppy...Weird..

I get to do a little research on dinosaurs today. I love being an artist.

I think I excel at drawing boring things. Still lifes, florals. Boring, ordinary crap. Maybe that's why no one except my friends wants any of my art. Bah...

I'm crying right now. A friend of mine was so generous and paid for the desk and chair that I was trying to raise money for. I don't know what I did to deserve him as a friend, but I'm so grateful. Now I have a place to work and to learn. And I'm hoping I can be as good a friend as he deserves.

Although social media can be a big beautiful thing, sometimes it seems a little frustrating, particularly when you're just minding your own business when it's like you're dropped into the middle of a conversation, or someone is talking about someone the others know and you don't. Like, context pls!

Okay so can we say "Excited"!!! I was just commissioned as an artist for a coloring book.

Or a smutty romance novel, too.

Grateful to be out of overdraft, kinda need to get supplies for my teeth and uterus, it's not an emergency yet but a bottle of Tylenol for my tooth would help

gen ai has no place in the arts and if you steal from your fellows and don't care about the environment you are part of the problem, pass it on

Because I'd really like a place to work, rather than just hunching over a tray table using a broken end table to hold my mouse. If you can't afford to buy, or would prefer to donate, check the replies for the OP for payment platforms info. #mutualaid

I've read a couple of her works. She's worth reading. Also, check out her short story, "Someone Else's Horror Story". I really liked that one!

Ugh, just because I said I don't prefer reading satire doesn't mean I don't like it. That being said, however, no matter how good Discworld might be, I will not be reading all 40+ books in the series, thanks so much.
