Probably not actually a dragon

You're so sweet! I appreciate you 💜 I had to look up what that was, I hadn't heard of it yet. Looks promising, I might set up with that at some point 🤔
Meanwhile though I think my ko-fi has a subscription option 🤷🏼‍♀️ I really need to update that thing too lol..

Yeah I'm a 40something with ostensibly a bunk bed >.> but I sleep like trash sharing a bed so this is the only way I can actually get any sleep 🤷🏼‍♀️

Anyway, this little dingus recently figured out how to climb the ladder up to my loft bed...

I'm so so close to being able to just offer at least sketch commissions on a whim, and that will be a huge help. I just need to finish organizing and updating a few more things, and finishing some overdue work. As long as everything else stays stable for just a few more weeks, I can do this 🥲

I need to get my shit together so I can start really paying down my debts. On one of the payments I make, $200 every month, over half that is just interest for that month. It's nauseating and infuriating and I need to just pay it off and be done with it 😭

Get these fucking things out of your fucking house.

BLACK.

THEY MEAN BLACK.

Oh no it's this guy again...

It's difficult to work through my anger and despair at the world for becoming what it is, but I suppose it is still some form of motivation. I'd have preferred it to come any other way, though.

I think part of my recent push to finally REALLY get my shit together, with art and other stuff, is that inescapably acute feeling of Running Out Of Time. I'll have definitely expired before I can get to all of my ideas, or even finish many of the ones in progress, but some is still better than none

when I was younger I thought the subplot of Ender’s Game in which Ender’s siblings shitpost themselves into running the world was the least realistic part of the book

I am coming around to the idea that it was by far the most realistic

Image says "If their Tesla looks like this, they bought it after this". The image of the Tesla is the 2025 Tesla Model Y, highlighting the distinctive brake light which extends across the width of the car, and the headlight which also extends across the width of the car. At the bottom of the image is Elon Musk delivering a Nazi salute on January 20, 2025. This is the event that a person who purchased a 2025 Model Y would have purchased their car after.

It's not as ugly, but it's just as fascist: there's a new Model Y coming out that for sure will be purchased after Elon "went crazy."

If this model gets even 10% the hate of a Cybertruck it would have a huge impact on Tesla, and as a result on Elon Musk's wealth and power.

Kitten is so photogenic I can't even stand it

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

Seconding this. I walked away from 40k+ and have had MORE traffic here with a quarter of the audience. There is zero reason to stay on the Nazi app. Clout is an illusion shrouded in numbers. Do what makes you happy and stop staying miserable

And then there's this fuckless lump.

I am blessed with friends this day, for I have met 2 different spiders at my sink while tending to the kitchen chores.
Really it's just too bad that, in spite of being equipped with so many arms, they are somewhat useless chore companions..

I've been addressed as sir a couple times, just from a slight distance and then that awkward backpedal once I'm closer. But honestly, I've never exactly hated it 👀

Black scholars argued this incessantly after the war. Britain killed 10’s of millions of Indians, Belgium enslaved and genocided the Congo, France slaughtered its Algerian subjects. Nazi Germany was the logical extension of US and European colonialism, not an aberration.

My sweet little Mandy, my entire heart 💜

Meanwhile, I'm also in that part of the month where my hormones like to keep me awake at night. And I'm in a bed that isn't my usual. And one the biggest side effects of the Prednisone is insomnia.

So anyway it was a good run I guess but I'll be praying for death tonight 🤣🥲☠️

Fuck that. I've seen folks with monstrous side effects at lesser doses in similar time frames, and could last for weeks. The pain is already mostly gone anyway. I'll take half that and still may not bother to finish.

So they put me on Prednisone for 5 days, for that weird joint flare-up. It's not gout, blood test didn't show high uric acid. Still waiting to hear what the rest of it means. After looking into it more, realized they started me out on an obscene dose (40mg/day) and no I will not be finishing in full

Fighting facism is a full-time job

Roses are red,
Elon's a knob,

OTC painkillers, ice, heat, nothing I've tried has been able to touch it. It's so bad, I can't do anything without some level of pain. Doing really anything that requires any amount of dexterity makes me kinda want to ☠️ I can't even distract myself with gaming because clicking the mouse is hell 🤣🥲

Came home after an hour at work.. My hand doesn't hurt as much as yesterday, but still apparently bad enough that I'm still functionally useless.
I had an X-ray this morning, just waiting to hear back about it, and hopefully find some way to manage this..

But it's super bumming me out in the meantime.
If I'm really careful and hold the pen a little differently than normal, I can at least still draw.. but I don't think I can keep it up for long 😭☠️

This incredible pain in my hand is making it extremely difficult to get anything done today, even the most basic tasks are agony. Is it normal for arthritis to come on so quickly and aggressively in one joint? I'm still not sure that's what I'm dealing with, I'm getting it looked at tomorrow..
