Dang I am definitely back to having trouble sleeping and what not again. I'm tempted to try sleeping on the futon in the bird room, but I know that will wake them up, may prevent them from sleeping, and they will wake up waaay earlier than me lol

Today we had to say goodbye to Wasabi aka my Wasa-bae. We only had him for a little over a year, but I hope it was a good one, especially since life started off rough for him. Day one he climbed into my shirt when we got home. He was a little aggressive and became my "project rat." He came a very

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Hey folks. I could use some help bridging the next two months while I wait for my SDI payments to kick in. Come Oct, those will sustain me and my family for the foreseeable future, but in the meantime we still have Aug and Sept to get through. gofund.me/f720613b5

Oh dang! I got a rainbow filament, and this first set of conures only printed with green, yellow, and orange. Definitely keeping one of these for myself. They look like Carolina parakeets!

I want companies to understand that when I see an AI flier, my brain instantly deletes it. I don't think, "Ooh, I should go to this event!" I rush past it like it's a pile of dog poop. Same for ads with AI models. I assume that if your marketing is cheap garbage, so is your product.

Welp the hits keep coming. Something is up with Melson so now she's gotta go to the vet too. That is gonna be... not fun considering how not-tame she is. I made a lot of progress with her... until one day she got a toenail stuck on something and freaked out so much she ripped it off. 🙃

I drive to the vet and pass no less than 3 AI signs for events. I vend at an event and almost all the food trucks have AI on them. Someone hands me a business card. AI art. Go on Facebook and Instagram to look for events to apply to. AI flyers. Someone sends me a meme. It's AI. Someone stands

Things are definitely uhhhh not going well 🙃 Wasabi is doing worse and we are probably going to have to euthanize him soon. AND Chili broke his foot. Looks like he snagged his toenail on something and freaked out. Between those two developments it's been like another $1K onto our vet debt.

Warning for a little bit of blood on the last picture. Wasabi has a tumor on the side of his face. They are sending off a biopsy to see if it's benign or not. But the location is definitely not ideal. It's not a good prognosis. Wasabi was my "project rat" from the group of 5 we got from a rescue
