If you have the means, please consider donating to your local mutual aid or nonprofits helping feed your neighbors. You can also buy someone’s groceries, volunteer at a community kitchen, etc…in everything you do: take care. ✨All✨ humans and living beings deserve food, shelter, and love.

the disconnect in understanding why artists with big followings still struggle to support themselves financially has honestly only gotten worse as folks try to clout chase and make a quick buck in GenAI images

I have all but given up on new Stars Wars stuff. And know I’m late to the game here, but, man, Andor is GOOD. Rogue One was my fave of the newer SW offerings, so having such a robust backstory of the rebellion is *chef’s kiss*

A photo of a white woman with brown hair standing under a tree wearing a black t-shirt with an illustrated squirrel, raccoon, and possum that says "critters are sacred". There is text surrounding her like a magazine that reads "shapelessflame merch shop Memorial Day sale, May 24-26, uh oh she's at it again! hoodies! t-shirts! mugs! shapelessflame.dashery.com"

Preemptive heads up that I’m having a lil’ Memorial Day (weekend) sale (May 24-26) exclusively on my Dashery merch shop.

So, for example, if t-shirts are normally $22, this weekend they’ll only be $16. Hoodies, mugs, hats, all those things will be on sale, too.

A book sits on a wooden background. The book is titled: β€œHandbook of Unusual Natural Phenomena: Eyewitness accounts of nature’s greatest mysteries” by William R. Corliss. The cover shows an illustrated hand shooting light fractals from its fingertips.

Picked up this cool book for research. Weird natural occurrences all documented by science. While I am clearly obsessed with supernatural subjects, I always try to keep myself grounded and informed. I am a skeptic, yes, but a whimsical and open-minded one.
