man I miss canva but I can't afford their pro subscription and half the features are just ai bloat I don't care about anyway 😔 there's just nothing else like it though, everything else I've tried sucks

realizing that vinted also sells arts and crafts supplies is making me want to get back into physical bullet journaling.... I cannot afford to be having hobbies right now but there are beautiful $2 notebooks in need of a loving home.......

UH Cleveland and Ao3 getting turbo-hacked and locking down for the next few weeks is such a crazy coincidence to me that I can't talk my ape brain out of being convinced they're related but like. what does it mean 😭 who is hacking for medical records and formula 1 rpf

😌 finally, a beautiful day where nothing bad happened to me (because I stayed in bed until 5pm)

I made it to my appointment on time enough that it was a non-issue and my doctor was great and then I left and two minutes away my brakes went out and now I'm chilling in a parking lot awaiting a tow 🥲 like can I live

showed up fully half an hour late to my appointment because every other road between this office and my house is closed for construction 🥲

still really grieving missing pollworker day AND I realized like an hour ago that I left my favorite canvas shopping bag behind when I left for urgent care 😭 hopefully someone took it instead of throwing it away, it was insulated and deserves a loving home!

one trip to urgent care and one very restless attempt at Sleep 2 and I am. still feeling pretty much like garbage with the new addition of a sore throat 😔 today stinks! please vote super hard so we can magically fix everything in the world tonight.

the migraine demons won so I will not be getting pollworker paid this month after all. I really considered pushing through but then I threw up in the bathroom and now I smell like puke so to urgent care I go to see if they can carry me through to tomorrow when I'll see my primary doctor anyway 😔

poll working day! this is my fourth election, second general. we normally don't get more than a couple people before 8-9am. today we had a line of over a dozen when the polls opened at 6:30. our first guy actually got here ten minutes early while we were still opening 😳

I kind of wanna try designing book covers... just for illustration practice/portfolio fodder mostly, I think doing my own spin on some public domain books could be fun 🤔 gonna ponder this while I work the polls tomorrow, maybe attempt some phone sketches

what a fun coincidence that wikipedia would feature the vestibular system article mere days after my starting vestibular physical therapy lol (the article's in the thread but I wanted to share the video cuz it's cool and I just learned about this stuff last week 😌)

Take this video as your sign to start training your vestibular system TODAY! 👂💕 🎥 sophiescience on TikTok

as is tradition each Halloween I have a moment of reflection for the one trick-or-treater my mom ever received at this house (approx 20 years ago). we had no candy (cuz we never get trick-or-treaters!) so my mom gave them a stapler.

man I managed to forget to tag this twice gdi #art

new pfp to celebrate me entering my Earth Tones Era. I've been attempting to cultivate a sense of personal style and so far what's emerged is an aesthetic I'm tentatively calling "goth hobbit", which so far comprises largely of loungewear and an absurd amount of brown.

so I guess ao3 is down for the foreseeable future and they said something about a security issue? and according to the timeline it happened around the same time a security incident also took out my medical network's mychart, which is also down for the foreseeable future. weird.

I started vestibular physical therapy and I know logically that the exercises they gave me are designed to eventually help reduce dizziness they unfortunately are also functionally exercises to trigger motion sickness/dizziness on purpose twice a day every day which is. not super 😭 I hope it works.

it's been a real "when it rains, it pours" kind of year.

patrick stewart passing barely two months after dolly is starting to feel personal, come on man I didn't realize he'd been ill so I'm relieved to hear he isn't suffering anymore. what a devastating loss though apnews.com/article/patr...

Patrick Stewart, stage giant also of ‘Star Trek’ and 'X-Men' fame, dies at 86

Patrick Stewart, the classically trained stage actor who scaled the Shakespearean canon and added gravitas to a “Star Trek” franchise and the “X-Men” films, has died.

I wish I could go back in time and shake my teenage self for slandering the idea of mary-sues and obvious self-insert fan characters this shit actually rules

the silent hill 2 remake is on sale 60% off...... presses my face against my monitor and breathes raggedly

think my pet banana is pissed at me guys tried to put another pokemon in another halloween costume and paint it with mixed results lol. I had a harder time with this one but I think it's because my eye is evolving faster than my hand. just gonna have to practice painting more 😌 #art #pokemon

getting really into flags lately.

pumpkoffing sparked a great fakemon design discussion in the group chat today and so I share my own contribution, designed roughly 2 hours after the discussion ended because I got sidetracked and then colored the first sketch after I insisted I would not 😌 #art #pokemon #fakemon

been putting pokemon in halloween costumes as "please for the love of god finish an illustration" practice and on my third attempt I finally did it! pumpkin koffing. a pumpkoffing, if you will. #art #pokemon

up at 4am posting messy comics that make sense to no one but me because they're of characters I invented and are acting out a scene that doesn't exist from a story that doesn't exist. #art #comics

kind of oppressive and problematic that I don't have a spare like $200 to fill my car's gas tank and then go get a decadent pho lunch and then go to the farm and spend a small fortune on baked goods and perhaps a walk through the petting zoo I think they have open right now

was gonna make a financially irresponsible decision (spend $25 on a pho lunch) but then I saw gas was over $4 so I turned around and went home 😌 you really save so much money in this economy by not having any in the first place!

if I ever have disposable income again I am taking several days and planning a pilgrimage to the Ohioan Mecca (Jungle Jim's)
