love LOSES good day to my fellow aroace’s

college is like yeah so we're gonna force you to take 5 classes barely related to what you actually wanna do this semester. yes they're all required for your major. no you're not going to have time to actually prepare for the career you want. now sculpt this pez dispenser out of cardboard

tfw you should probably be preparing for your biology test but you're too busy being possessed by visions of your comic

unfortunately for everyone around me ive decided to unapologetically chase the life i want to live and am willing to make bad decisions in doing so

get me out of the university. please

i would rlly love to feel normal for once during a weekend 💔💔💔

ICE are a bunch of domestic terrorists, a government run group to uphold and gatekeep the horrific regime we have going on here.

my reminder that if you're in support of any of this and these horrible, ghoulish atrocities that continue to happen that you are not welcome on my page.

"I wish I had more fanartists"

You want advice on how to make that happen? Appreciate the ones you have now. Shouldn't matter the skill level, artists need validation, and if you, as a creator, want more art, we need praise. It's a two way street here, buddy.

siggghhhhh. back to the horrors tomorrow (class)

my life WILL be romanticized!!! i am going to become the eccentric artist i was always meant to be

i think i would have to pay to get high quality prints of my digital artwork so right now im just going to do it traditionally. i want to do character sheets for my current projects so i can just look up and look at them and some hare drawings too (because i love bnuuy)

my animation teacher showed us miyazaki’s and oda’s workspaces and it made me think about how bare my room in any place has been for the last like 5 years. i want to try putting more life into the places i inhabit. right now my goal is to do more paper line drawings and tape them to my wall

i need to become more eccentric and artistic IMMEDIATELY

First, I want to extend my gratitude to all the people who have reached out from across the country and around the world to support our family. This kindness of strangers is the most fitting tribute because if you ever encountered my wife, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, you know that above all else, she was kind, In fact, kindness radiated out of her. Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled. I mean, she didn't wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine, Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it Where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole. Like people have done across place and time, we moved to make a better life for ourselves. We chose Minnesota to make our home. Our whole extended road trip here, we held hands in the car while our son drew all over the windows to pass the time and the miles,

What we found when we got here was a vibrant and welcoming community, we made friends and spread joy: And while any place we were together was home, there was a strong shared sense here in Minneapolis that we were looking out for each other. Here, I had finally found peace and safe harbor. That has been taken from me forever. We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness. Renee lived this belief every day. She is pure love. She is pure joy. She is pure sunshine On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns. Renee leaves behind three extraordinary children; the youngest is just six years old and already lost his father. I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him. That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way. We thank you for the privacy you are granting our family as we grieve. We thank you for ensuring that Renee's legacy is one of kindness and love. We honor her memory by living her values: rejecting hate and choosing compassion, turning away from fear and pursuing peace, refusing division and knowing we must come together to build a world where we all come home safe to the people we love.

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears:

sad sad man

and i’m just supposed to go back to college on monday? what the fuck?

Being an American feels like getting on a school bus and then your bus driver decides to do a drive by

Thank you Deval for speaking up for me when I took time away from Bluesky.

I wanted to focus on a point that Deval brought up - that I experienced racism yesterday.

So, let's talk about how I experience racism as an Asian American since not a lot of people know about this.🧵

hopefully 2026 will be a kind year and give me good opportunities to keep thinking like this. and if not, i’ll work for it anyway ❤️

i hope i’ll have the strength to make it better, too. (i love the world and i know it needs changing.) and if i don’t, i hope i can build towards it.

i suppose this is more of a mindset i want to have than a goal, but maybe that will make it easier. a sort of under painting for the rest.

i want everything i do to transmit my love. let it be shown in my comics, my writing, my art. how i interact with people and places. and let me remember that i am part of this world too, that i am alive, and my life also deserves love.

it might be a bit silly but this is very inspired by zato. i related a lot to asya and her worldview resonated with me. flawed in many, many ways, but i want to adapt it into something that can build hope. “i love the world and everything in it”: that’s how i want to be!

i have a lot of hopes and goals for 2026, and the others i might talk about too, but the biggest thing is:

i want to romanticize life more!!

not just my life but life in general. there’s a lot of beauty in this world and i want to be able to recognize it better and share it.
