As the guy behind the counter, I knew which customers to give the hook up to based on those recurring re-rentals.

I replaced the honey with brown sugar in my latest round of bread on a whim. The touch of molasses flavor is delicious yet super mild.

Literally just had this conversation today, lamenting on how many used to be in the city.

Screaming into the void like this does nothing but allow me to get the thoughts out of my mind and breath a little deeper and easier.

I don’t think that any art is for “everyone”, since art is personal and our responses to it are also subjective due to our own perception of it. The mean ones are just so loud. I don’t need a dm telling me how untalented I am. I don’t need the comments saying I should stop creating.

I hate it. I’m not looking for sunshine and roses and flattery. I don’t need praise. I’m just so tired of putting myself into something and having it shit upon. People are mean.

At some point, all the negative bs seeped into the cracks of my self confidence and expanded to fully shatter it. Even if I can objectively say I created something “good” I fear that dismissal of my work. It’s hard to share any of it when doubt clouds my view.

I’ve been drawing so much lately. Getting much more comfortable with sketching directly on the iPad, whereas I used to always start with my traditional sketchbook.
It’s so hard to post anything though. The negative comments get to me drastically worse than they used to, even during my FaceOff time.

Job hunting is so ridiculous when you need a bachelor’s to even be considered for a pt position selling artisanal honey at the pier. $18/hr, 15hrs a week with fully open schedule, and at least 2yrs retail experience and degree required. wtf

Now not to eat it all in one sitting. Fresh baked bread is such a temptation. 🍞

Baking bread to warm up the kitchen while I’m working in here is the style of multitasking I’ve been feeling lately.

I’d been feeling a relatively mid-level appreciation for my artwork coming out of 2024, and was happy to be seeing great skill improvements. I didn’t expect 2025 to immediately slam me with the worst feelings of imposter syndrome in a long time.

I’ve been on RedNote and the culture shock is unreal. The prejudice ingrained into me about the Chinese culture and lifestyle makes me sick. I didn’t even realize. ☹️

The true test of the Bluesky takeover will be when CA has an earthquake and how long it takes for someone to post about it here.
