It is January 7th and I am already physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually exhausted.

Not me doing a Montauk deep dive at work after bingeing Stranger Things for the last couple of months 😅

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

I’ve been stuck on the same chapter of this fic for like 2 months? 3, maybe? Idk. It’s been a while. I keep going back over it and, as much as I want it to feel right, there’s something off. So I brainstormed another idea to move the story along and I think it’s going to work this time <3

I think easter eggs (in media) are so fun, but Taylor Swift might be overdoing it a bit. There are 12 orange (Karma) doors around the world, and they all have a QR code to a lyric video. I was hoping that the Chicago one, being above a Yoko Ono quote about peace, would have a deeper meaning XD

9.13: MCR in Tampa 10.2: CR Campaign 4! 11.19: Mighty Nein! 12.12: B-day! There are a few other birthdays and celebrations in there, but those are the big moments that I'm looking forward to over the next four months.

Live your life in such a way that, upon realizing that you are probably p seriously ill, millions of people are not torn between hoping you die as soon as a body can possibly shuffle off its mortal coil and hoping that you survive long enough to go to prison and die there.

It’s so hard to narrow this down, but Eleanor Rigby <3

Positive to writing my first draft as a fic: Feedback along the way & motivation not to stop writing Negative: Getting stuck in an editing loop before posting so that it takes forever for updates (sorry, dear readers) I hate posting something unpolished, but it’s making this slow.

Never did my teenage self think that the lead up to my first My Chemical Romance show would include making friendship bracelets with my kids (one of them isn’t going, but she had to pitch in to use big sib’s beads for a personal project) We have 22 made so far! #lltbp #emomom

Hey y’all! I’m broke and trying to raise funds to get my car back from being repo’d (so much fun), so if anyone is interested I have commission slots open (starting at $50) and pins for $15 + shipping:

"What if we taught men to get laid leftistly" what if men cared about the loss of our bodily autonomy, the abuse we face as a result of coerced economic dependence and the actual pandemic of femicidal violence we have to contend with, more than they cared about sexual access to our bodies

There is no male loneliness epidemic, there is a male entitlement epidemic If your rancid politics means women won’t sleep with you then that’s good, actually Also: have you considered sleeping with each other?

i thought we established that to be a man, you must: - be swift a coursing river - have the force of a great typhoon - have the strength of a raging fire - be as mysterious as the dark side of the moon

“It’s just a tool! People used to hate on photoshop too.” Take away my photoshop, take away my tablets, I can still draw. Take away your plagiarism machine and what are you gonna do? Shout prompts at me?

“Both of them.”

It’s *technically* tomorrow already, but 80 years ago today my grandpa - who was born on September 11 - was in the Empire State Building when it was hit by an Army plane.

“He’s not involved in the global child trafficking ring. The lady in charge of the global child trafficking ring said so, and why would she lie about the guy who pardoned her for her role in the global child trafficking ring?”

I can finally know peace - scrivener iOS and pc are finally synced 🤣

Downsizing some stuff and I just threw out my copy of The Art of Asking because Palmer and Gaiman can fuck all the way off. I *hate* throwing books away, but as a “self-help” book by a predatory human, I can’t in good conscience pass it along to another reader and repurposing would will feel icky

I wrote a housewarming party scene last night and realized once I'd finished it that I'd exhausted my own social battery by making people who don't exist talk inside my head. I feel like that sentence might be concerning to my therapist.

A lot of people need to hear this

I just overheard someone at Panera calling the college that I used to work for "adequate," and now I'm ready to throw hands. Degrees from community colleges are totally valid and some of the classes I took there were more valuable than ones I took in grad school.

Finally decided to take care of myself and I have a psych appointment tomorrow, dentist on Monday, first appointment with my new primary care doc on Tuesday, and therapy on Friday. I'm finally taking advantage of my stupidly expensive health insurance and it feels good.

Friendly librarian throwing out a personal #mutualaid request. My phone is off and I've got until the end of the week to pay power or that'll go, too. venmo: @ lavendergreentea cash app: $lavendermidori I'm also like entirely sick to my stomach having to post this. <3

When your playlist keeps pumping out the bops you have to sing along and dissociate in the parking lot a little longer. #imnotokay #welcometonewyork #shakeitoff

The evil that men do lives after them

If I had a nickel for every time I read a D&D adjacent novel that features the mc’s hooking up in a secluded outdoor water source I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Hitting new levels of emotional burnout lately and like… could I just not?

An obscene and sadly predictable decision. Walling children off from the spectrum of humanity will do nothing but harm those children and leave them ill-equipped to join the wider world. Which is, of course, the point.

London fog + thunderstorm = writing session in my car from outside of my apartment <3

Take this as your sign to primary every appeasement-obsessed do-nothing motherfucker who looked at you sideways, gang.

Everyone is citing receipts that prove that he is a hypocritical lying hateful manipulative selfish piece of shit, but what does it matter? He continues to be able and do and do as people yell and yell. Fuck! Mediocre-white-male-with-“money” privilege is so vile and destructive.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

The military recruiters hanging around high schools and college campuses in the coming days/months are not your friends. They’re friendly because their promotions are riding on how many young people they can convince to enlist.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

The High Republic pulled me out of my TROS funk and made my favorite fandom fun again. Thank you #projectluminous authors for giving us this epic saga and adding so much to the galaxy I’ve always loved. If anyone needs me, I’ll be sobbing in my car.

I also can not forget to share this again: Feel free to post it and send it to your friends while reading Trials of the Jedi!

Happy release day to Trials of the Jedi!!! I loved doing fan art throughout the Phase 1 and 2 releases and although I spent most of Phase 3 doing official art, I couldn’t let it come to an end without doing one last illustration.

All of this, every bit of it, traces back to the failure of the U.S. government to invest in public education for decades and expecting overworked and underpaid educators to make up the difference.

Did all of the other 2000-2008 Coldplay girlies grow up to be Hozier fans?

“I asked chatgpt” oh yeah well I asked an illustrated medieval manuscript and there was a priest getting railed by a frog demon in the marginalia so what’s up now byotch

D&D bards should have a “montage” power, where they can play an ‘80s-style banger that lets listeners massively train up their skill levels, which then last just long enough for the big fight at the end.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.
