I make art in many forms. Sharing it is scary so I don't do that very often. Bad at writing descriptions.

Yesterday was a very lovely day for November, so I took a walk outside. While out, I came up with the theme, the starting lines, and one or two of the later lines for this poem, and had to stop and jot them down. I present the final product: Fallen Leaves. #poetry

Fallen Leaves Scattered all across the countryside in shades of brown and red, with their loving families wishing that they could have gone instead– All the boldest and the brightest out in empty fields lie far from home with no returning, and their tomb the empty sky. Some led by misguided duty, others simply forced to go, but the battle makes no difference what the fallen soldier chose, and the casualties are rising, as the many colors fall— all these leaves are falling, falling, and the trees don't care at all. They were not the ones to start the war, but they must carry on Fighting for their homes and lives before their time is quickly gone. No reprieve for them when wounded, for no hospital's secure; but their deaths are counted nothing, for the war must still endure. Torn by wind and wild weather from the places they were grown, sent uncaring by these marshals to a land they'd never known where they fly and fight and fall, with all their colors tattered bare And their struggle matters nothing, for the trees don't even care.

Two random people followed me today despite the fact that I haven’t opened the app in several weeks. Thank you and here’s a picture of some ducklings on a log that I took on my vacation this summer! I will not make promises of further activity. :P

Two fuzzy ducklings sit on a log in a pond. There are ripples on the water, as it has just begun to rain.

🚫 Don’t: “Everyone is a little autistic.” ✅ Do: “Autistic traits are not exclusive to Autistic people and it’s the cumulative constellation of traits that they have that fundamentally differs from the lived experiences of Non-Autistic people.” (A bit wordy, but maybe the nuance is worth it.)

We had over 6000 followers on Twitter before everything started falling apart there. Followers aren't everything, but I need to reach an audience to make a living off these games. If you want to help us build back our audience, please help us spread the word so we can keep making awesome games! 💚🐸

Hmm.... If we can get to 1000 followers by the 22nd, maybe I'll give a sneak peek at our secret unannounced but extremely cool game...

*posts right before I go to bed so my insecure cravings for validation don't leave me opening and closing the app 50 times in the next hour, checking for interactions*

This betta fish from December 2023 was a lot of fun. All the tiny lines that make up the fins and tail were so satisfying, evoking the joy of just doodling. Each color in the fins is a different layer, and each fin itself is a different group of layers. #krita #art #digitalart

First art post! (Finally.) This is one of the first digital art projects I did, about 2 years ago, and it's still one of my favorites. I use it as a profile picture in a lot of places, and I think it actually sparked the way dragonflies have become my Thing(tm). #krita #digitalart

Hello all: It is with a heavy heart that I remove my Starter Pack of "Trustworthy Mesopotamian Copper Ingot Merchants Within the City-State of Ur." I have been informed about some pretty unfortunate oversights on my part and ultimately platformed some creators who should not have been platformed.

I think it’s kinda funny how I keep finding the most niche of starter packs in my discover feed. “Fluvial geomorphology starter pack”? Truly glad you can find your niche people in such a convenient way, but sometimes it just makes me giggle.

Jo@lurkingjo.bsky.social · 2y ago

I was going to post some of my art today or maybe a poem but I’m too unmotivated to go choose one and write a description for it. Have a picture I took of a tree instead!
