I have a 752 day streak on Duolingo, and I’m intentionally letting it lapse today, because they’re firing their employees in favor of AI bullshit. In a world where I wish I could do more, this feels like something I can do. #duolingo #lethumansdotheirjobs

Sometimes I wonder how doctors can memorize so many illnesses and all their symptoms, but then I think about how many Pokemon I know along with their types and moves and I think “Yeah, okay.”

I’m on hold right now and the “we’re still busy, please stay on the line” message is playing every 25 seconds. The hold music restarts every time. This is hell.

A digital drawing done in teal tones of a girl with long, wavy, dark hair. She is wearing a white, beret style hat and a white scarf draped around her neck and shoulders. She has gloves on her hands which are grabbing the scarf. The background is a mottled blue with white speckles that resemble snow towards the top of the drawing. The artist has forgotten to sign it, she is just realizing.

Quick little drawing I did to celebrate the colder temps we’ve been getting here! Worked in a monochrome just intending to do a quick value study before putting colors on, but I ended up really liking it just like this, and decided to leave it. Now, let the winter break from work begin!

Dangit. I’m out. Listening to it right now. After a 5 year run of winning, I’m out. Damn you, Target! #whamhalla

Oh thank goodness! Thanks for checking for me! I’ll admit, though, I feel like this is the year I get out. I’ve literally not heard the song at all for like 5 years, but I heard it twice before the game started, which feels… ominous. 👀

Okay, I need an official ruling: when does Whamageddon start? I’ve heard either after Thanksgiving (in which case I was out on Day 1), or it’s only during December (in which case I’m still fine). I’ve got a five year streak riding on this, so if anyone can clear it up, I’d appreciate it!

Oh no! I’m glad you’re not hurt, but I’m sorry about your car!

Detail of the painting “Portrait of a Lady as a Vestal Virgin” by Jean-Marc Nattier. A lady in a white dress sits with her right arm raised, holding part of the cloth that covers her head and is draped over her left shoulder. Her left arm is holding the cloth near her shoulder and a blue fabric is draped around her left arm and around her back.

Got to spend a little time yesterday sketching at the NC Museum of Art- did a couple simple studies, one painting and one of my favorite little sculptures. Really pleased with how the sculpture one came out! #ncma #ncmuseumofart #sketching

The choices for me are all either random gifs with my name written over them in a very inauthentic way, or it’s…. this thing.
