but Tater, someone is bound to pop into the comments to cry, allergies don't cause fevers!

yeah. I know. but getting a sinus infection 3 years running that coincides with the branches turning red and the petals disappearing, like gd clockwork, aint frickin normal. and yet, here I am. I hate it here

genuinely hate how the very beginning and end of cherry blossom seasons in my suburban neighborhood full of cherry blossoms has been so intense the last few years that I spike a fever at each end of it. this shit can't be normal

DO NOT COMPLY.

DO NOT OUT PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE CHILDREN

imagine even thinking about using ai when a living breathing master of the craft is putting his knowledge on youtube for free

I'm used to not getting into markets, and that's fine! but not getting into the Wayzgoose, as a printmaker, stings a bit more than I'd like to admit.

someone was flying a drone around the crowd of tourists taking photos of a waterfall when we were in Hawaii last summer. so I stopped taking photos and followed it around flipping it off. dude who owned it was so pissed. but if his drone was going to ruin my photos I was going to ruin his video

Someone I used to know just moved to substack yesterday. I only know bc he resubscribed me to his mailing list that I opted out of 6 years ago.

At this point either you know about the substack Nazi problem or don't care because it's not affecting you, or you're also a Nazi.

I am *this close* to doing something a kid of a mom blogger supposedly did and buying a hoodie with the words "I do not consent" all over it to wear in public

photo of a carved lino block. the block is of a sad lady clown, wearing striped socks and a flower crown with a halo. her dress is flared up on one side, her hair is huge and curly

I need to just sand my lino as soon as i get it. got an entire image transferred onto it today only to realize I didn't sand it first, and that the design is likely going to be too delicate to sand when it's done.

This is not the first time I've done this.

It's not even the first time this year.

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

I feel like if democrats spent this year messaging β€œDonald Trump sent your kids to die so his family could buy another golden toilet” we might get impeachment going.

I forgot that I had done this (bc I totally don't have ADHD) and now every time I go to push up my hoodie sleeves this is all I see and I start snort-laughing.

it is absolutely worth the allergic reaction I am definitely having to the glue on the back of the eyes

I can't say I figured it out on my own; I learned the trick from a mutual friend who was a teacher and used it to decorate her classroom.

my old table standee that I used before I had money for a banner or sign (which is the backend of a raccoon sticking out of a purple trashcan with the words "anxious raccoon press" on it) on the back of my office door

wasn't kidding about the hot glue and my office door, either. if you put painter's tape on the door before you glue, the door comes away pretty unscathed

Me: I don't have ADHD

also me, in the middle of cleaning my office, about to hot glue something to the back of a door: ooh! googly eyes!

Yeah I’m sorry but my β€œpatience” for centrists and conservatives is so fucking done. I will not forget and I do blame you.

Independent artists and publishers going to ECCC: if you're interested in selling leftover things to us at wholesale prices so you don't have to haul them back, send us an email! We aren't open Sunday night / Monday to the public but we can figure things out if your stuff fits our vibe!
