Had an eldery man ask me bluntly today why I have a southern twang even though I live in Wisconsin 😅 I am an enigma. (I do feel like I get twangy when I'm tired/my brain is slow.) Me going to the southern US: "Midwesterner!!!!! 👈" Me existing in the Midwest: "Southerner????? 👈"

Still the weirdest time was getting asked "Where are you from????" out of the blue at a con IN WISCONSIN. Like I'm from here??? Do I sound that strange? Should they study me in a lab?

It's been an absolutely bonkers month+ and idk if my life will calm down until after the holidays. 😅 So hopefully someday I'll be back on here making art, apologies for being a stranger in the time being!

Healthcare is suicide prevention. Housing is suicide prevention. Childcare is suicide prevention. Universal basic income is suicide prevention. When we ensure people have their basic needs met, mental health improves.

Reminds me if COVID because the air is actively hazardous by me because of the wildfire smoke so I'm scurrying between my car and work/home wearing a mask. Meanwhile there's people talking leisurely walks, kids playing outside, and folks driving their convertables with the top down??????

Damn Science Saru going sicko mode again on the new Ghost in the Shell and it's cool to see. The characters are for sure different but I absolutely adore the retro anime vibe. I'm very excited for more!

I'm so sorry for being away~ Work got busy and it cooked my brain and left me with not a lot of energies. I hope y'all are hangin in there!! I'm gonna try and participate in Art Fight to get back in the groove of creating stuff 🙏

Work absolutely wrecked me this week because we had a client say "hey you know that project you took 6 weeks to do? Do it again but in only 2 weeks!" 😭 My body is in shambles. So even though I have a colonoscopy on Monday and all that entails I'm lowkey thankful for a day off.

bsky too quiet? missing comments? not seeing posts from spicy artists? check your moderation settings and your bsky filters if you haven't configured these before, many of these will be set to hide as defaults

I'm never gonna live down the three separate times this past week traveling to Atlanta that people pointed out my midwest accent. 😭 To me I don't think it's that pronounced but apparently it is????
