For some reason* the sadness persists. Time to open up a sketchbook and see if I can purge it by badly drawing men kissing and crying. . . *the reason is mental illness

They/them I make art sometimes. In so-called "Vancouver", BC
Sooooo... I think I've run out of EI. Yay. I better nail this next interview (or get the second job I applied to) or, once again, I'll be in trouble 🫠
People who smoke weed or use a vape in a crowded space or in close quarters with others without checking on them really grinds my gears.
I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
my upstairs neighbour has friends over and I heard them drag a bunch of chairs around so loudly I thought the building was coming down. They're now playing "Uptown Girl" in Cantonese and testing a microphone. Thank god I don't have any meetings coming up but jfc, it's 3:30pm on a Wednesday.
Got a call with a doctor (my family doctor is away for extended maternity leave I guess) in a few hours and I'm going to ask if the dosage on my meds can be raised because brain has been doing worse and worse this year. Like, "nightmares every other night and harder to stop spiraling" worse.
if I see anyone in my circles get any of these they're gonna get an earful

Nanoraptor@nanoraptor.danamania.com · 2w agoYou suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?
I have to do drag outdoors in 30c in front of (potentially) 1.5k people, my back has been killing me and the heat has drained all my energy to prepare for this show and the next two coming up.

Good news: the rezoning for the Mt. Pleasant AI data centre has been referred back to staff, likely relaying the approval hearing until after the October election - due to "huge public interest"! Thanks to our friends at @cag938.bsky.social for the graphic! #Vancouver #VanPoli #NoAI #BigTech
Been rewatching some episodes of The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, which naturally inspired me to draw Jack and Stephen in a sort of that style... (tbh i think I didnt make them look off-putting enough) #aubreyad #masterandcommander #art
Aaaah I love it when DaVinci resolve crashes on me for no reason at all, even though I have a beast of a PC.
Not to brag but I’ve had beef with Andy serkis since the first LotR trilogy when he acted like the animators did very little to bring Gollum to life and it was basically 99% him. He can go kick rocks with open toed shoes

THIS!!! I don't even draw for myself as often but I'm pretty sure I would if we had websites like DA and Tegaki/Oekaki back.

One thing I feel like we could instigate across the entire internet is only talking about tv shows as they air on designated discussion boards so that nobody gets accidentally spoiled by the algorithm
Watched the 4th episode and... they all could have been their own season and this could have been a good finale. The ending of this episode was very emotional but I feel it didn't land as hard as it could because everything is so DAMN RUSHED!
Stram@strampunch.bsky.social · last mo.This is a symptom of how "tv" stories are subject to the production whims of a streaming-focused industry and I don't like it. I miss seasons that were 20+ episodes long ("fillers" included).
welp looks like I have lost access to my @conrad-de-goya.bsky.social account because of a stupid loophole in the account-creating process and the Bluesky team can't do jackshit about it. And now I hear they're implementing age verification up in this thing? jfc what a mess

I was digging around to find some examples of illustration work to apply for a thing and oh wow, I really drew a lot of 'Our Flag Means Death' art in a very short time. Most of it I can't post publicly anywhere (and the fandom burnt me out bad), but I still like how this one came out. #ofmd
