There’s no such thing as having too many books!

Until you move. When it’s time to move, then it’s too many books.

Hey! I really felt the weight of everything last week, and I wanted a way to talk through it... so I've been working on (maybe the first???) choose your own adventure game set up directly *in* Bluesky. And here it is!

Would you like to visit the Garden of Fortune with me?

Enter the garden.

the message isn't "you're bad" the message is "you have to be good like everyone else"

accountability feels like oppression to the privileged

Few things in life compare to the sheer unadulterated release of sitting alone in the blessed solace of your car and having a little cry to the perfect song

My parents have lived in ON for the last thirty years, so it’s not an unfounded assumption! We moved to QC when I was three.

the labor of art is mostly invisible. what you don't see in a finished piece is all the hours of thought it required, all the little discoveries and surprises and tragedies of production. art IS the process. if you aren't interested in the process, then i don't really know why you want to be artist

friendly reminder that during the horrors we’re currently living in, it’s okay to log off, take a break, and do something that makes you smile. humans weren’t built for this amount of empathy 24/7, you need to practice self care and self love too.

This.

Seeing sketch lines in hand drawn animation. Seeing fingerprints in claymation. It's like hearing the faint sound of the hand moving over the strings of a guitar when someone is playing. Small imperfections are signs of life.

Everye cut to a public universitye program ys not onlye harmful to the present but harmful to everye generacioun to come. It ys destroyinge a natural resource. Unintended consequences arise aftir killing learninge. Rebuilding ys possible but will take a long tyme. Say NO to public higher ed cuts!

Nice paper is such a lovely experience. And it’s so interesting to see how differently an ink shows on different high-quality papers.

I put paler inks in wider nibs, so it’s easier to read. But when I took notes at uni it was always on cheap paper, so F nibs were the way to go in case it feathered.

No, no, that sounds correct. Different nibs, different inks. Five is the bare minimum.
