A friend who is not on this site said something like "if you're filming you're not doing" and it's so true. you just can't practice your craft in a way that gets good angles and views and "fun short form content"

I need people to stop telling me I need to get into Content to run a business/promote commissions. Like, I know! But I am so tired! I have other responsibilities!

I highly doubt I will be going because I don't love going to pubs, but cool to see it happening!

Machine turns ok, but all electrical was cut and it's a 500 series I'm not familiar with. However, the table is fantastic. I think this will be my new (and free!) desk.

I have 2 whole new problems this week and it's only Monday, but at least today I was chosen by the Singer Sewing Machine Distribution System!

I managed to load it into the car by myself. Always keep a screwdriver in the glove box, friends.

I need to do another comm campaign but once again I feel so bad bc everyone is going through it and I don't want to encourage anyone to spend needlessly. Bit also we're all out of work in my house and I already had to replace the brakes in the car, and now I have to get a new sink and a new freezer

3-panel comic drawn in pen with minimal inkwash shading. Th epanels are equal in size and all placed horizontally on the same row.
Panel 1 shows me sitting at my drafting desk looking mildly annoyed while trying to focus on my work, while a long "zhuuu" SFX streaming behind me. The caption says "Why in god's name is my neighbor"
Panel 2 is closer on me, with my face contorted in an angrier expression as the sound effects behind me continue and get bigger in the panel; the caption continues from last panel: "using a leaf blower right outside my window"
Panel 3's caption continues, "at 8:30 in the morning" and in the panel my face is closer than ever, and my enraged expression is drawn purely in crosshatch lines as the rest of the panel is engulfed in the loud leafblower SFX: "ZZZZHHHUUUUUUU"
Beneath the comic is my signature (Kat Baumann), today's date (10-30-2025) and the time I spent drawing this (50 minutes)

I don't know what to do with my hair that'll stop people from making fun of me for having a "trendy teen boy haircut." I've had the same hair for 5 years and there's only so much I can do with my natural hair that's not growing it out again, cutting it to an inch long or straightening it. Sigh.

I hate when I have to choose between things I really really want, when I've already had to give up other things I really want. And I'm at the point and age where it really is either or

Thats the tricky bit. I'm just gonna browse for a bit. I don't like getting people just random stuff for the sake of it. Was looking at some treats but there were shipping issue so now I'm just trying to think of if there's some vintage accessory or something they might want or something they'll use

I have. no idea. I was looking at chcoclate but it seems like the local places aren't shipping to their address. Gift card is my backup.

I'm mostly looking for like. practical things or treats, not just gifts for the sake of gifts. I'd normally just make something I know they'd like :(

I just want to watch things with the sound turned down, subtitles, and an adequately lit space.

I want to go see Frankenstein so bad but it's only in imax here. I can barely tolerate the sound level and the total darkness and contrasts in a standard movie theatre, and I still get a headache. I don't think i can do this I am afraid.

Yeah that would be the respectful think to do. Instead of just blowing all the leaves off your lawn, to the sides, all over your neighbours lawn, and the yard. So now I have to re-rake the lawn. After I just raked it.

Is the point of leaf blowers just to blow all your leaves into your neighbours lawn so they have to clean it up???
