Using only a GIF, what's it like inside your head?

I am old...er. It was my birthday yesterday. I'll be honest, it's been hard to feel anything but tired and stressed lately. But spending time with my friends and seeing the beautiful way Minnesotans have come together, it's given me the first warm ray of hope I've felt in a long time ❤

Explaining my absence from before below and that commissions are now open to anyone. Though only 10 slots for right now. I’m sure my dentist will allow payments, so taking comms in sections! Thanks and appreciate all who read/look/support!! 🙏🏽✨💖 ☕️: ko-fi.com/shyblackshee...

When you go clothes shopping and find dusky blues, muted green, and purple are the colors of the season

Someone on Reddit suggests Minnesotan needs an anthem when protesting ICE, specifically keeping it peaceful. I suggest a song written by Minnesota's own Bob Dylan: "The Times They Are A'Changin'"

It's now also available as a website: www.standwithminnesota.com

Winter is coming, and the North remembers. May ICE learn that nothing burns like the cold.

Here's a list of mutual aid, food orgs and more helping in Minneapolis during this siege. #minneapolis #fuckice #minesota linktr.ee/mplsmutualai...

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

Mumford & Sons Sigh No More album is about the only thing keeping me going today.

Haven't posted one of these in a while!

I have caffeine and a slight will to live, let's see what happens

I've been watching that ICE agent bite it on the ice on repeat, and watching them waddle away in shame while Minnesotans roast them is healing me. www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/...

Artists wanted! Last month, we started a public access collection of Community Defense & Anti ICE Art for free distribution. Check out the collection so far at defend612.com/art, along with more details and submission guidelines. Art below by @hilarygreensteinart

Upped my salad game with some new equipment! The maiden voyage had merit, but was in need of adjustment. I was so giddy using the chopper thingy I didn't pay attention to HOW MUCH I chopped. Half a red onion later, the resulting salad had serious kick but was unfortunately spouse-repellant, hahaha

If you'd like to catch up with the previous 'arc' of the Short Rest Inn; start off here! We're planning on some more episodes/other things out this year so pull up a chair and give us a listen! OOOrrr, feel free to listen to our other episodes/arcs! 😄 #dndpodcast #actualplaypodcast #actualplay

BEEN. A. WHILE. Listen to finale arc episode of the Short Rest Inn! THE DRINKING CONTEST! 🍻 (drink responsibly, folks.) #dndpodcast #actualplay#actualplaypodcast

Hey #Blueskyanimation! A buddy of mine is currently looking for #animation work! He's VERY talented and has directed/worked on a few popular #animations! Check out his Instagram #demoreel here:

It is crazy to me that this year is ending tomorrow... fuck, what a ride it has been.

I couldn't sleep, so I decided to render the sketch from earlier. Enjoy, and don't forget to hug your loved ones 🤍

I'm just not in the holiday spirit this year... I lost my person- the one family member I look forward to spending time with the most. Christmas just isn't the same without her. If you've still got them, hug your Grandmas for me.

I went down a rabbit hole regarding butterflies and moths this morning. I think my current favorite, the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail might be unseated... JUST LOOK! Look with your special eyes at Pachliopta hector, AKA the Crimson Rose!! 🖤🟥🖤

PLEASE reach out to your reps and tell them to VOTE NO ON H.R. 845. VOTE IS HAPPENING TODAY TO DECIDE THE FATE OF AMERICAN WOLVES. It not only removes vital protections from wolves, but blocks judicial review, preventing the courts from stepping in to protect wildlife.

I've seen artists doing "Draw Yourself in Different Universes" challenges lately and wanted to give it a shot! It's fun to artistically stretch my legs in different styles :) Starting off with Helluva Boss. I felt like doing a hellhound was cheating, but might do a wolf sinner design...

Today marks the anniversary of my aunt's passing. She was an incredible and kind person, with a great love for life. There hasn't been a single day in the past 5 years I haven't thought about her... I miss her so much.

Gravity from Hazbin Hotel has been on repeat today. The payoff for the song was underwhelming, but I have a feeling this isn't the end of her revenge arc

Dencember, and to my mind, Delilah had this outfit designed for Luther. It's too fetching, far too good taste, for him. Then she had him pose for a portrait in the main hall.

It's Mari Lwyd season

Oops, been falling hard back into my wolf adoring phase, haha. 😆 So wanted to do a small ref for my Pokesona, Shy's Lycanroc form and also added in what she would look like as a Rockruff~! Don’t be surprised if I start using this form more often sometimes. ;3

Minnesota peeps, keep your wits about you! Winter storm due to land around 3pm today and it's going to make the evening commute dicey. Stay safe out there!

I love the cold, but it has been hard on our boy, Inigo. So! He now has a fancy jacket, which he really seems to like :)

Black-Blooded Communion...A pulse of life during a dance with death compelled one simple act both ancient and primal: CONSUME. A life for a life. An end and beginning. This carnal rite carried the hope that Ciara could live- not just through this battle or through the dawn, but with herself.

Yay Friday and YAY SNOW!

I was struck by creative fervor last night, and kept saying I'll do "one more thing" before bed. Next thing I know, it's 1:30am, and today I feel like all the caffeine in the world will not rescue me from my poor decisions. But hey, at least the Muse is indulgent this week, hahaha.

There are so many moments I want to draw from the last D&D session! As a werewolf, Ciara swore on her life she would never bite anyone on purpose, but when backed into a corner she realized it was the only way to help a group of prisoners escape through the mists.

Had a great weekend playing D&D with friends! @kerbibble.bsky.social continues to showcase his amazing talent for story telling as we near the end of Curse of Strahd. "Harrowing" does not even begin to cover the emotional turmoil this session, WOOF.

So happy to see snow!!

It's been soothing to bead these past couple days. I avoided it for a long time because a lot of the teqniques, utensils, and beads I work with were imparted to me by my late aunt. It's bitter sweet, but rewarding all the same. This is a necklace features 4 different kinds of Irish marble!

Finally broke out the beads for the first time this year. This is the first successful eyeglass chain after hours of tweeking and re-starting, but now that I've got a base model I'm ready to make a unique chain for every occasion, hahaha.

I despise city driving. I avoid it whenever possible. But dear readers I have found a fresh hell varient: Night City Driving- Holiday Edition. They had xmas lights on EVERYTHING for 3 solid blocks. It was beautiful and terrifying because I have astigmatism, turning every single bulb into this:

I love catching little tender moments like this. Their play-fighting can look and sound scary to the uninitiated, but Lydia and Inigo have a strong bond <3

Saw The Runningman tonight. The first 2/3rds of the movie were pretty good, but if fumbled it pretty hard in act 3, leaving it a 6/10 experience. *SPOILERS / PERSONAL HEAD CANNON ENDING IN COMMENTS*

The excitement I have for these beads boarders on the indecent. I am SO EXCITED to start some beading projects next week

IT'S FRIDAY WOOO

The moon is sure moonin' tonight!

"Wolf, simmer down." "What?! I didn't even say anything!" *my face* ~~~ I have learned to indulge the random ideas that pop in my head, lest Creativity exact her revenge by way of stagnation and art block. So, enjoy a silly sketch, haha.

hey if you are an artist who depends on SNAP, ✅ share some art ✅ share links to where people can buy from/donate to you ✅ share the thread ✅ share someone else's post too ✅ label NSFW/horror/etc. properly ⛔ no AI #artistsonbsky #supportartists #artshare

Working at a call center gives me time to work on D&D. While I was drawing maps today, a coworker stopped and complimented them, then asked if I sell / post them anywhere. If anyone needs me, I'll be floating for the rest of the day

There were a lot of Elsa's and Anna's last night, but my favorite trick or treat costume had to be a pair of fairy princess twins. They had large sparkly wings, tiaras, and the tulle on their dresses was interwoven with tons of little rainbow lights. SO CUTE!
