On the red line watching children and the elderly trying to fight eachother on train ride home What a night
Aye, I drew the gay-ass cover illustration for this gay-ass book! Check it out

clip studio paint isn't recognizing any of my fonts since the newest update, wtf
circumstances made me go from "trying to take it easy" to "taking shifts literally every day this week" i'm gonna wither and die
sitting here eating chips while I work and type, and Ravioli has repeatedly doing that cat-thing where she's doing fake-stretches towards my food, getting more and more desperate LIKE I DON'T KNOW SHE'S TRYING TO SWIPE THEM YOU AREN'T SLICK, CAT
Still no new art cuz I continue to be Unwell, so here's some old doodle comics of my Old God's Wanna Have Fun comic idea from a few years ago. #art
I colored this! It's surreal to have a book I helped with be banned in my home state.
I just realized that if Texas lawmakers think our book is illegal now, they're really not going to be happy that the new edition coming out next month has a brand new chapter specifically about our book being banned in Texas.
completely goofed up my rest-work-rest-work/etc cycle that was doing so good and felt consequences of that for days lessons learned. I literally can't choose to take extra shifts or overextend right now. It's not an option. It's easy to rest when it feels like a choice, and not my only option.
Mom's cant is really embodying "I can be ur angel, I can be ur debil" tonight
Raviolis new food has been working, she is in healthy weight range and can finally scratch the top of her head with her foot again.
Sara took a pic of me today, holy shit my grey hair has taken over haha finally, become possum
tonight in our Curse of Strahd game, my toddler-sized cleric crawled down a dragon's throat to remove a cursed object from his stomach this is the greatest day of her career as a doctor
"Shit I'm so tired, its like I havent had any caffeine at all" I got home from car shop to find my energy drink open but completely full.
Unexpected detour to get a tired changed while running errands, weeee~~
My chills/shivering got so bad last night that my hands kept making the frozen spaghetti dinner I was trying to unwrap vibrate and knock on the kitchen counter
Can y'all recommend me any fantasy or high fantasy comics that are inspired by history and folklore of places that arent the Anglosphere or Japan? I'm hungry for em
it will always be cool but sad that when it comes to health my go to has been to post to my relatively large online audience about it, cuz I usually get good recommendations and referrals that aren't snake oil and mlm scams not everyone has an online following they can outsource to
BTW anyone know anyone with Hashimoto's (or similar thyroid disfunction) who has used the Paloma Health services? They seem legit, have good reviews, and promising for like, more focused care. My insurance doesn't cover them, but I'm willing to invest in membership if it actually would benefit me.
I'm thinking of getting a referral to an endocrinologist. My doc has been okay, just kinda dismissive of my symptoms. He's been like, "Well yes you obviously have Hashimoto's, but your crashes/extreme fatigue/body pains/brain fog/night chills/etc" could be lots of things. Do a sleep study first."
Feeling pretty rough this week. Enjoy this old are of inking and tone practice from a few years ago. #art
ravioli won't sleep in her window bed ever since it fell once months ago. I bought new suction cups and it's very sturdy and she still won't sleep in it. i'm about to break out the catnip.
I'm taking a lot of pills and vitamins daily now and its like, a fist full. I follow instructions to take it with food, but maybe I should divide it up between breakfast and lunch, cuz I'm getting gross reflux
free idea: I haven't the time or the means, but someone should make headphone headband covers made of silk and/or silky materials for people with curly/textured hair. If you like money, I mean.
Lately when I play Tomodachi Life I sound like an overbearing mother, or an old hag who was promised first-borns "those two promised me a baby, WHERE is my baby, you two OWE ME a BABY!!!"
was suddenly reminded of the period of time before we stopped going to Target, when the staff at a specific in-store Starbucks knew me as "the lady who breaks our straws"
