Absorbed

Honestly, the sooner you can unlearn jealousy and envy as reactions to others’ success, the better off you’ll be.

There are better ways to motivate yourself to succeed than hoping that your peers don’t.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Hi everyone! I'm looking for other embroidery, textile and/or landscape art accounts to check out and follow on here since leaving Twitter :) do tag any you think of so I and others can check their art out! Below is an example of mine too - aerial embroidery 💚

Hozier ✨🍂🍃🗡️

It’s been fun to draw some of my favourite musicians as these kinds of fantasy characters in suits of armour, so it was only time until I made my way to Hozier too!

not to mention that's how bots/abusive accounts take hold. they mass follow and then sell the account when enough people follow back and start using it to push spam and hateful content. don't make it easy for them.

follow 4 follow is a poison that will do nothing but lead to less engagement for everyone in the end. when people's home feeds get clogged up with nothing but stuff they don't want to see, they stop using the website.

follow the content you want to see. don't blindly follow back.

Some more Kiara and Vitani!
The dynamic I have in my head for these two is so fun!

I said "the roads are probably icy today I hope people come to the show later" and he was like "naw this ain't shit to us" then immediately skid across two lanes

None of Frostpaw's visions before seeing Reedwhisker being murdered when she was with Splashtail are real. I think there's a slight implication that Riverstar forced a Starclan connection (based on other Starclan cats saying she wasn't even a medicine cat)
