Was feeling cute and confident then someone had to say something to ruin it first thing in the morning.

I have slept 12 hours since midnight last night due to my first ear infection of adulthood

I used to get them all the time as a kid, so at least I know how to deal with them pretty well

Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales Husband of Jonathan Joss My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done. Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future. He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other. I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved. To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family. My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together. If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband. Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built. Tristan Kern de Gonzales

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today.

I'm so angry.

What happens when you grab 7 voice actors and have (most of) them cold read a VN? A good time, sprinkled with the right amount of chaos.

The first episode of our live-dub of Tyrion Cuthbert: Attorney of the Arcane is up!

I don’t know if my friends know how often I think about them. Sometimes their kindness, sometimes talent, bravery, hard work, and sometimes just how their existence brings joy into my life.
If you are my friend, just know that am so grateful for you

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this is the start of your 4th decade

Random crochet rant:
I detest when patterns have the most convoluted instructions to avoid doing a magic circle
If you can’t do a magic circle, you should be investing in learning the foundations of the craft, otherwise you won’t improve

If Adobe has one hater, then I'm THAT ONE.
If Adobe has no haters, that means I'm dead.

Nothing like getting a good rhythm with a crochet project then realizing you made a mistake at the beginning of the row.

Anyway, here’s some of my old photos

I’ve been itching to get back into photography, but disheartened by software choices. It seems like every editing software wants to use AI.
Then there’s the stress of posting my photos online. I don’t use many social medias now due to ethical issues.
It’s a shame because I’m a damn good photographer

With the demise of Joann's, I'm going to share a few online resources I've found. It's by no means exhaustive, but hopefully it helps folks find what they need. 🧵
