I think I confused my estranged Trump loving father with asking how his retirement was going after not talking to each other in almost 6 years. I still feel angry towards him for how he treated me when I was outed as trans in 2019 by someone I knew.

4 panel comic, une bunny and a witch cat are sitting around the fire, preparing dinner.
Dialogue goes : 
"So, you're a Brush bearer, an Artist"
"Are you still painting?"
"I am"
"Hah! No way ! with the world on the verge of collapse and hoe fading day by day, you think art still matters?"
"Now more than ever..."

Be safe, and don't you dare go hollow.

I have no clue what's going on with so many on the platform is talking about when it comes to the moderation team. Frankly been avoiding Bluesky lately over the shit going on in the US since it's making me anxious for family and friends still living there.

It's disappointing living here. I wish Alberta would be better

Didn't Bob take time off from work to help his mom in the hospital?

Spent two hours salting my painting to then cover it in another layer of watercolor. Atleast now the texture of the sky looks more closer to what I want.

Honestly, the best way to make an artist’s day is by being very specific about what you like about a piece. Geek out a lil. Gush over how they use line, color, texture. Every mark is layed down by the artist, so if you can connect with those little moments, it helps the artist feel seen.

Got some hearing aid ad describe itself as "the Tesla of hearing aids", and yup, no thanks. It's too surreal for me for some reason

Taking hrt for the last 6 years it's amazing how much my self esteem has improved and how much I don't hate my body

I find it hilarious trying to fix one thing on an old photo of a sculpture I made years ago and the clean up brush keeps trying to pixelate the phallic like sculpture

"You are seen and you are loved" without the promise of safety or protection is a meaningless, hollow gesture.

We need people to embody "You will be safe, and you will be protected." We need people to actually do something and stand up for trans rights.

When all we want is to be able to exist.

I hate it's happening here in Canada too and including having these memorials for him. I feel like I'm going crazy watching all this where I live

I pretty sure it was Blockbuster for me (the one I went to had a lot of weird anime at the time).

I'm glad OP in the screenshot never had the misfortune of knowing about any of this until recently. I had to watch my brother go down that rabbit hole over the years since no one took it seriously even with evidence. I ended reading a bunch of stuff on radicalization and the far right to cope

I've taken the advice of doing the smallest task possible when it comes to my art helped me to create a routine of working on art and not just burn out again when I can't do all the projects I want to at the same time

I'm tired of constantly feeling like I'm living out of a suitcase and never getting to feel like I'm in a more permanent home. The homophobia/transphobia I've dealt with these past few years is draining and I don't want to move yet again for my safety. I want to feel like I belong here in Alberta
