Whip-smart Banky

Artist-In-Cheap for the CAGcast video game podcast. I have a segment called Whip-smart's Spank Banky where I review lewd games!
Been reading a book on grief. Exhaustion and anxiety from grief so wild. I never know what I'm going to get hour-to-hour, much less day-to-day.
Today is my Friday and it's been a long crummy week and I needed some toy time, so I opened my Sketch TMNT. Yeah, these are cool as heck. Well done.
My work desk buddy for the day - Clawful! I think he's my new favorite MOTU Cartoon Collection figure.
The Andrew Garfield and Elmo video touched something profoundly deep in my heart today. I've been feeling absolutely devastated lately about Mama B's passing. It's hit me harder now it feels than back when it happened.
Today is the 8 month anniversary of my Mom's passing. If you find a moment, please say a prayer for me today.
I know I'm not on here much anymore, and a few of you have reached out to me to see how I'm doing. NGL I'm struggling, y'all. Somehow 8 months later feels worse than when all of this started. But I'm still here. Still working. Trying, sometimes failing. Restarting therapy.
Funny not funny? Logging out of work and immediately bursting into tears sobbing while I'm filling my air fryer full of waffle fries and chicken nuggets LOL
In a sad, weird convergence of dates, my Dad passed 26 years ago today, and my Mom passed 7 months ago today. Love you and miss you both.
Mom's gone six months on Friday, and while I'm okay right now, I'm feeling pensive and I'm trying to stay afloat. I'm in the top 15% at work and getting a bonus. I finally got decent insurance. I'm getting an award tomorrow. She's not here to see any of it and it's bittersweet.
My Dad would have been 93 today. He passed almost 26 years ago. In some small way I'm glad my Mom could finally spend his birthday with him once again. It's been far too long.
I'm so stupid. Why did I get this stupid thing? It's huge. It's bigger than my Xbox.
Mama B is gone 5 months today and it it feels both like the blink of an eye and forever at the same time.
Exchanging foreign language puns via text with @whipsmartbanky.bsky.social reminded me of one of my favorite jokes: C'est Darth Vader qui rentre dans une boulangerie. Il demande quoi? 3 pains et deux tartes tatins! Tu sais pourquoi...? PAIN PAIN PAIN TARTE TATIN TARTE TATIN
I'm sorry but Eartha Kitt and kittens in 1952 is the best photo I've ever seen. Look at them. Look at how adorable all of them are.
Kinda crazy that artificial intelligence needs the entire output of a nuclear reactor but actual intelligence can run on Twix bars and cocaine, for example.
First paycheck of the new job is in the books. Bills are paid. The economy has deemed me worthy enough to survive another month.
First week on the new job is in the books. It's kicking my butt but it's like starting a new workout routine using a lot of muscles I haven't used in a while.

On the eve of the 3 month anniversary of my Mom's passing, I didn't expect I would even still be here, much less healing and on the verge of flourishing.
