Long stressful day, but cooked dinner!

For the last few years I been dealing with anonymous harassment, spam on my posts doxxing me, and it always leads to spending hours up all night having to delete countless comments on all my social media and reporting which does nothing. This has been contributing to my burnout. Not sure what to do.

Fun another package detained by customs. Thanks to the orange stalin trump for destroying American small business. Can't get shirts made in the US because the orange stalin killed the small businesses that made them, can't get shirts made overseas because customs will detain and destroy them.

I am very confused with how bad our legal system is, if you defame someone maliciously and even know you are intentionally doing so, you can get away with it if you "believed" it to be true or it was just your opinion. And even cyberbullying is protected under the guise of free speech.

Oh don't think I ever posted these sketches from my Wear Me Out comic idea of my yeen mascot character.

You know them for covering the history of fan communities and narrative art; and their tarot decks, flags, and pins – @transformartive.com will be with us once again at #PVCF25! ponyvilleciderfest.com/guests/choco...

I feel like there is a division between the creatures of different eras like from American Folklore to the fearsome critters of Frontier Tall Tales to the cryptids and UFOs of Urban Legends to the entities of Creepypasta. Does that sound about right?

Almost all stories involving Greek myths always make Cronus the villain evil King of the Titans, I would just once like to see him represented as Father Titan (as he is the titan of time conflated with the god Chronus).

Taking my old panels I been coming up with the "Flawed Franchise Theory" think I will debut it at my next narrative art panel. I been thinking how Harry Potter as a franchise still has such a hold over culture even when it has many complaints, perhaps these flaws that made it appeal to the masses.

So tiring and sad how misinformation spreads online and in echo chambers, even looking at this in small fandoms, seeing how easily it takes root makes me scared how much in every day life disinformation and propaganda is ruining our perception of reality.

I will be hosting Con History: From Costume Masquerade to Fursuit Parade tonight at 8:30pm in Panel 4 at @furpocalypse.org!

Some FurPoc board members came up to me to check if I got my packages, then told me they are happy I'm here, that they see me at cons ten times the size and like seeing me at their smaller event. Now that it's been harder for me to get into cons it's nice to hear words like that from con staff.

Vending in a windy tent is scary, in theme for Halloween I guess.

Finally tracked down my packages but it was too late to change my set up but big thanks to the con staff and other dealers for lending me grids and shelves. I'm table A9 in the Dealers Den at @furpocalypse.org make sure to check out my Werewolf/Animal TF panel at 5pm tonight. Happy Halloween!

This must not be my year, after customs destroyed my $5000 order of shirts the 3rd attempted remakes are now held again at customs. The hotel apparently gave away my packages with my flags and grids to someone else so I'm trying to set up best I can without half my stuff.

Hunting for a new place and one rental is right by Old Town, a fake Main Street dead tourist trap of shops and run-down Fun Spot amusement park rides. But a fake Main Street is still a walkable Main Street, and since there's few tourist means if I moved here it's a private Main Street just for me.

Awwwwww! A sweetie!

Second psychiatry session, doctor doesn't think I am in a strong need for any medication, that a lot of my issues seem to be I am very self critical of myself which might have some connection to my past. He realizes he is expensive so saying I should look for other cheaper options as well.

Annoyed, roommate keeps asking why I am scared to talk to him and my problem is, I apologize told him I am dealing with burn out, depression, and finally got my first appointment with a psychiatrist to get help. He chose to ignore this. Later tells me I am looking for sympathy and he won't give it.

I am hosting two panels at @furpocalypse.org with Animal Transformation on Friday at 5PM and Con History on Sat at 8:30PM. I am also at Table A9 in the Dealers Den. I still don't have shirts due to customs but will have my flags, lanyards, and other stuff.

I did my first psychiatrist session last week but didn't get any advice or diagnosis yet. I been resting up and taking it easy but seems like my batteries can only charge 30% and not all the way. Very long term burn out, hard to just get back to 100%.

One of my old ideas I still like, I wish I could draw and finish as many comics as I have ideas for them. #mothman #tf

Just remembered how these children books gave me nightmares as a kid, I am still too afraid to look through them in case they trigger some scary memories.

Think @treytheexplainer.bsky.social would look good as a horse? 🐎

The first episode of the first day of school for a school story series of hard to figure out.

I weird how all the MAGAoist red hat trump supporters tweet something so un-American and treasonous and go "lol this will trigger the libs/dems".

I am honored to be announced as a Guest of Honor Capricon, the long running science fiction convention held in Chicagoland. In my over decade long career as a convention vendor, artist, staffer, panelist, and community guest, this is the first time I have been asked to be a Guest of Honor proper.

Art of my character Nick Nack the object shapeshifter I got from PixelOctane 🪑 #TFTuesday

So I was raised a religious Taoist but now secular, I guess others have said my current personal worldview is Pointillist Taoist.

There are only 3 categories for mascots of top earning media franchises with theme park presence. Yellow gender neutral who spout gibberish/catchphrases with large white eyes and black dot pupils, yellow gender neutral who spout gibberish/catchphrases with small black eyes, and everything else.

I won $20 on the inflation Piñata game!

I wonder if I'm a hyena looking to date a donkey or a donkey looking to date a hyena. Is this a metaphor or tf? I don't know.

In my planned Shifter School series Jason's arc takes place during summer school while Kota's take place in September during the start of the school year. I am outlining Kota's story and I think it's very fun, from typical school episodes to more darker mysteries, maybe more in-depth than Jason's.

In 15 mins I will be hosting Anima Transformation, Shapeshifters, and Werewolves at BLFC at 10 pm in Teton in Mezzanine level. #TFTuesday 🐺

This is basically my dream boyfriend, if this is you and you are single, please let's go on a date.

Aside from the laughable claim the Democrats are "radical left" I think it's appalling and an insult to the Office of President that the Orange Stalin trump and his useful idiot red hat MAGAoists one-party big government speech-censoring police state is allowed to post this on a US Gov website.

I notice this paradox when I put aside time to work on passion projects I get blocked and get can't produce anything. Then when I am in crunch time working on a big task or last min packing for con I procrastinate and just work on these projects and pump out tons of art and comic pages.

There are nonfiction books on animal transformation but no research or data on inanimate/object transformation. I think the panels I been doing for years are really the only collection of this topic. Not sure if worth to collect it all into a book for a such niche topic.

So I think my magick powers are the reverse of Grant Morrison, instead of creating a comic and it becomes reality, I come up with an idea for a comic, then put it on the backburner, then years later it becomes a reality.

I remember why I moved out of Texas, it's so unwalkable.

I am wondering would being buy scrap flags in bulk? I have a lot of flags, some test prints, some display flags, all full flags in good condition just wrinkled and unorganized. I just have a lot, wondering if people would want to buy the lot for crafts or other use?

Fun dealing with roommates again. Roomie is pissed I threw out a stick of butter that was expired back in Sept 2024. I thought it was leftover from the roommates who moved out last Dec.

For Spanish speakers what would be the best term to use for werewolves in my Shifter School series? Hombre lobo, licántropo, or luisón?

Good morning, getting all set up for my second ACFI! I'm Table 3 in the front of the Dealers Den. Last time I was here I had to go to the hospital for rabies shots so hopefully this time I actually make money instead of getting in debt with medial bills.

Does anyone know the con rate for the Embassy Suites for ACFI for some reason can't find the price online.

I leave for two back to back cons tomorrow morning and need to reprint some badges to refill ones I sold out of, but just not in the mood to run to the print shop today. I guess I can do without replenishing some badges.

Oh yeah I remember I drew @caseymongillo.bsky.social and I as South Park kids.
