"It costs nothing to encourage an artist.” -Kevin Smith I’ve been on the receiving end of this encouragement today by someone whose work I really admire. I was thrilled, I’m so grateful they took the time to say such nice things. So if there are any artists whose work you love, let them know. ✨

First time I’ve drawn Buddy in quite a while, as an exercise to break in a new fountain pen. Obviously I’m making some mistakes but I’m learning a new tool, so I’m okay with it.

An ink drawing of a Labrador retriever with a smile and closed eyes. The shading is rendered in hatching and crosshatching and there are a few blobs of stray ink.

I will say as a service industry physical laborer in the furry community we need to acknowledge how bad of a problem we have uplifting the blue collar workforce that makes up most of our community like. i see posts celebrating The STEM and art and medical but never our postal workers or janitors.

Do you know how it feels to finally work up the courage to ask for help, to jump through the necessary hoops, just for people to insinuate that you're attention seeking or that you just want an unfair advantage. Serves you right for trying to self advocate now in your 20s when you couldn't before.

I've seen brilliant minds with enormous potential overcome with immense feelings of inadequacy. And I've seen those students quit because some professor or some other student made them feel like the practice of law is not available to them.

I had a panic attack in my first exam in law school. I spent the first hour, minimum, of the exam just trying not to vomit or pass out. I didn’t know to ask for accommodations, so I got a D on the exam, ruined my GPA for the year, and considered quitting entirely.

Some students have panic disorders. Do you know what it's like to have studied hard, worked your ass off all semester, for your brain to just shut down when it counts? Some students need that extra hour just to settle their mind enough to read the first question.
