Stock photo of a thin, white femme person wearing a tank top and shorts (unseen) with a giant white overcoat covering their entire body, but also is upside down with the hood at the bottom, as if Sam's putting it on like a regular t-shirt. Her arms are already through the sleeves and the face is giving, "Um, yes? Can I help you? Actually maybe help me plz? I just don't wanna admit it."

A sequential stock photo from the previous image of a thin, white femme person wearing a tank top (unseen) and shorts with a giant white overcoat covering the entire top half of the body, but also is upside down with the hood at the bottom, as if Sam's putting it on like a regular t-shirt. Her arms are already through the sleeves and the face, only eyes visible, is giving, "This isn't going to plan. Should I continue? I've gone this far. I don't think there is going back."

A sequential stock photo from the previous image of a thin, white femme person wearing a tank top and shorts with a giant white overcoat, now making its way over the back of the body where it is supposed to be, with Sam's head tilt forward and hidden under the hood as if Sam's putting it on like a regular t-shirt. Her arms are already through the sleeves and the face, although completely hidden, the vibes are giving, "I think I'm in the home stretch. I may be stupid, but it seems to be working."

A sequential stock photo from the previous image of a thin, white femme person wearing a tank top and shorts with a giant white overcoat, now on mostly all the way and properly looks like Sam is wearing the coat, however she is hunched over and looks uncomfortable, almost as if Floridians are a different species and have no idea how to wear a winter coat. The facial expression is giving, "I don't really like this, also it is hot, take it off." Kind of like putting booties on a dog. It's just not natural.

Me, a Floridian experiencing real winter, trying to wear a coat for the first time.

One month left, and I'm 70 away! Can I make it?? 🥺👉👈 I promise I post cool stuff, follow for some awesome art resources! ❤️

while KOSA passed the subcommittee, there is still the full committee meeting it needs to go through before being voted on by the Senate/House

support is more split on it than you'd think, we just need to pull away enough votes to block it. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES!

A stock photo inside an empty room of a house. It has a ceiling light, tan walls, and deep blue carpet floors. There are sliding glass doors with blue curtains and a window that show the oceanscape view outside.

It's cold outside! Gotta bundle up indoors, but what should we stock the room with?? 🤔

Decluttering your marketing to make better sales Preventing decision paralysis in your customers can go a long way to landing sales. Here's how you can avoid too many choices

One thing I am consistently telling clients is you can't put EVERYTHING you have front and center and expect customers to wade through it to find what they need/want. You really have to fine tune your marketing from project to project to avoid a customer's decision paralysis.

Shaking your fist at the sky like, "Make up your mind, I have things to do!" xD

A stock photo of lush green trees covered in snow, with some grasses around it, also completely covered, with more snowflakes still falling and a grey sky. Looks like a scene right out of a Christmas movie.

It really feels like a winter wonderland. ❄️ How is everyone's winter (or summer, haha) season going?

Alt text: Hey [Artist Alley] fam! Courtesy of the Cursed Timeline, here's a fun warning from my colleague: "People are AI generating images of damaged versions of products they receive and requesting refunds." So just. FYI, keep your eye out on this happening to you this holiday season

Okay but for real, this coat is my mom's that I stole from her closet for this shoot, & I genuinely didn't know it could unzip, so my dumbass was trying to put it on like this for real, until I figured it out, & then reenacted it for the shoot lmao

Don't tell anyone this, it's our little secret. 🙊🤫

The real joke is that I was secretly a professional all along ;)
