My blood pressure was so bad this morning, like almost scary bad. I think I'm stressed out from work and THE WORLD. Doing a lot of breathing breaks today and exercising and drinking water and planning. Part of it was probably bad sleep and I'm behind on work today. Ugh. Trying not to freak out.

Is there a course or something about learning to draw mechanical stuff. That's one of my weak spots when it comes to my concept art career, and I want to get better about it... I'm just never sure how to approach learning about this stuff in particular.

I think Jarvis is asking for something

Realizing I'm older than Adelbert Steiner and that if I were in a japanese RPG I'd be the old curmudgeon

Look at this vicious mongrel or whatever that old man called him today (to be fair, most of the people at the party were very nice to him and thought he was cute, but that man really got under my skin...)

Gave my friend the little quilt I hand pieced and hand quilted for his son, and got a text all "[My Wife] cried a little at the blanket you made" Me: :) "Then she started inspecting the stitching" Me: Oh no The stitching is so fucking wonky no don't ahhhhhhhhh

Took Jarvis to a kids bday and a bunch of old people are being really rude towards him :( talking about him like he'll attack the other little dog here, called him a mongrel

The Indiana Fever have a traveling band of anti-trans agitators whose intention is to terrorize trans women & intimidate Black & queer women & WNBA goers. They do so in the name of a current player. The WNBA is protecting the agitators & punishing uprisers. I won’t watch a single Fever game.

loser shit outside of minnesota lynx vs indiana fever

I gotta work this weekend to hit some deadlines, so give me some strength and energy, please

I'm nearsighted and my partner is farsighted. With our powers combined, we can read far away street signs and fine print.

It's my birthday month, so everyone has to be nice to me for the next 31 days

My best friend Susie (slapped some color on it) #deltarune #susie #art

Jarvis won't eat his dinner until we sprinkle cheese on top =_= he will starve himself first why is my dog like this

Watching Close Encounters of the Third Kind for date night tonight. Never seen it before. Partner is excited for me to experience it and doesn't want to spoil me. I don't have the heart to tell them that I've already read the book so I know what happens >_>

I said I'd try fitness boxing for this week's "Try a different type of cardio" session, and then I remembered i"d bought that Fist of the North Star Fitness Boxing game forever ago and never did shit with it lol. SO I guess I'm doing that

Bleh, my A1C is high and my blood pressure is borderline hypertension. Doc says to come back in 2 weeks and we'll do a follow up, and I need to remember to take my blood pressure every morning (I have failed the past 2 days now ahhh). They're gonna tell me to stop eating white rice, aren't they

I’m just gonna say this here because idk where else to say it but we can tell each apart from neurotypicals in the wild & we are fully aware neurotypicals are ready to throw us under the bus

It was never going to stop at trans people.

Lol my brother in law got an ad in his fortune cookie

Sucks seeing someone you respect say something that is definitely going to bring out the anti-pitbull folks agreeing with them ahhhhh

i love pitties

The producer keeps assuming i'm way younger and less knowledgeable than I am, but today he made an "I can't believe it's not butter" reference and was like "all the young people in the room are so confused right now" and it's like Bruh Even if I was young, that is still a thing that exists

laid down the quilt stuff to try and baste it all together so I can quilt it and get the blanket done in time for my friend's son's birthday this weekend, and Jarvis, who for some reason assumes that every time you lay something out, it's for his comfort, fuckin came over and *sat* on it

My family left a little while ago and I always get a little sad immediately after seeing them. I think I grew up so used to the big family being together all the time (even tho during childhood/adolescence my relationship with them was not great). Most of my sibs used to live here before moving away

Last night, getting ready for bed (sleeping on the office floor bc I let my parents sleep on my bed when they visited) and we walked off for a second only to come back to see Jarvis had trotted in and fell asleep in such a way that neither me nor partner could lie down haha

Woke up to my dad trying to teach partner Mahjong ahahaha

my family dropped in driving back down from seattle and is spending the night in my apartment and Jarvis is *so* happy

i was watching a documentary on the Gee's bend quilters (yes, I also watched one yesterday--they make me want to make things, so I chase the inspiration lol) and Partner, who used to be a fine artist, walked by and got really enamored by the quilts. Said it was like beautiful modern art paintings.

Been watching documentaries about the Gee's Bend quilters and it's helping me feel less hung up on making things perfect. These old black grandmas who've been making quilts for generations make these things however way they want bc it makes them happy. I want this attitude.
