Trying a new way to keep from getting overwhelmed: I turned my tasks into a Toontown‑style game. Four Toontask slots for my main priorities, a kudos board for quick wins, and jellybeans I earn to redeem for little treats. I just set it up this morning so it's a lil rough, but I'm hoping it helps =:3
Today I gave myself permission to get Webfishing and have fun with a friend. =:3 It's such a fun game; I highly recommend it!

youtu.be/CvU1-LuxLIY?... This animation brings me so much joy. I’ve been seeing people online making Wolf Story OCs and it’s so healing. I feel encouraged to indulge in the joys of my younger self. No need to reject modernity. You can embrace modernity and tradition together, just like this 🤝

I like the idea of Skoryx having a talking quirk, but oryxes aren’t known for their vocalizations. I really liked the “braaah-aaaah-aaaah” bleating noise I typed out earlier. It’s like goat bleating and saying “bruh” at the same time. ChatGPT’s responses to “what would an oryx sound like” is vile
There are some people in my neighborhood who are bullying me because I wore my fursuit outside ONCE. Jokes on you; my heart is bigger than yours, and I'm gonna change your life for the better by making you into a furry weeaboo that you will fully love, accept, and integrate into your philosophy. 🧪
BTW, all of these outta-nowhere and too-long rants are because I have begun taking the time to be mindful and pay attention to my feelings, thoughts, and motivations in the moment. Actually practicing it for real instead of just reading about it in a book and thinking, "skip, I know this already" 😁

One of my favorite artists, @/jagalart.bsky.social does charity streams and special comms to benefit charities. I've always wanted to do that sort of thing. Like, if I design a kakapo sticker and sell it for money, I could donate the proceeds to help real Kakapos. This is an idea I've had since HS.
I start too many projects and then get overwhelmed and don’t follow through with any of them. Maybe I should stop trying to do so many projects at once and focus on one at a time. So, I am using this little notepad to track down my current project and how to realistically finish it.
I am realizing that I don’t draw enough gift art for my friends and mutuals. Usually when I get new art supplies or want to try to draw something different, I post open art requests on the internet instead of drawing something with more intent as a gift for my friends.
I discovered a life-changing app today called PureRef. It's great for organizing reference images for making art and organizing research, sketches, references, etc., all in one clean place. I've needed something like this so badly. You can download it for free. I super recommend it! www.pureref.com

Quick work-related thread vaguely pertaining to my health: Please, if you can, defend your work-life balance and agency to say "enough" or "I need more time". Years into the future you won't be wishing you'd stayed up later to get more work done or answered more outside-work-hours emails/calls -
Today is my triops’ 1-month hatch day! I gave her a grape to celebrate.

Last week’s aurora and nearly full moon, taken during my nightly walk 🌌
CW: dead bird It snowed for the first time this season on the first of the month. I went out hunting with a friend and saw/obtained my first wild Rock Ptarmigan. I used the whole animal, preserving it as a specimen for my work and research after grilling it for dinner. It was tasty. 🍗
Last night I camped overnight in my grad student office working late on assignments. I was fueled by a box of 50 breaded chicken wings and mango habanero sauce. They were so delicious. Regret has not set in yet
I had a great time hosting some friends tonight for a paint and sip night. Nobody was brave enough to try and follow an episode of Bob Ross except me. My painting is the one with the ptarmigan. :> I am glad I was able to overcome my depression and join in on the event I worked so hard to host.

Throwback to when I tried to do a Birdtober drawing challenge and fell off after day five. 🥀 I tried drawing birds in shoes! #digitalart #birds #birdtober
I’ve always seen memes about people eating olives straight from the jar and I’ve never related to them. Well, I bought this jar of grilled olives from Costco and they’re so freaking good. I’m in my bed eating these olives straight outta the jar like a gremlin. I get it now.
