Sometimes you have the kinds of nightmares that make you want to just run an all day self-diagnostic. I think that was one of the most gruesomely realistic body horror dreams I’ve ever had. :x Pour quoi??? Body o’ mine: you good??

Weird Sticks are hung! You’re getting an angled shot because I’ll probably spend the next week making small position adjustments since at least one is crooked but I’m not fixing it tonight. The only problem is that making these is kinda fun, so now I need another space that needs something.

I actually had to mute a couple of my posts recently because they were getting too many notes, but both were, in spirit, about patience, love, and kindness. Of all the things to pop off. Heck yeah, guys. Keep caring. 💙

Part of it is that I hate to do away with anything that still works, if I can find a way. One day I will get my Handspring from 1999 to sync with my computer again! One day! As for the bottle, the one I have uses an easily replaceable button battery. 👍 The new ones have a charge cable. Lame. 👎

Sometimes the cure for a truly brutal week is to tinker with something silly. I have an old HidrateSpark 3 water bottle that I got back in like… 2019? Replaced the battery, updated the firmware, and ta dah! It lights up and tracks my hydration habits once again! That made me stupidly happy.

Now what I could really use at work is desk drawers. My coworkers and I have been living out of floor piles since the “upgrade” and it’s getting a bit silly. I had to repurpose my recycling bin as a kind of plastic-tub bindle.

Best bet is always choosing to be kind first. Check in, be gentle, listen if they want to talk, be gracious and give them space if they need. Just be kind.

One thing people often don't realize is when someone is disabled, they might have energy limiting issues. They may not have the energy to socialize at times. It doesn't mean they hate you when they're not as around. They may be struggling. You should check on them & not assume the worst.

Grateful to the folks in my life who have been checking in to see how I’m doing after I got back home. I haven’t been able to really chat beyond saying thanks and thar I’ll be okay, but man. I really appreciate that they care.

I’ve always been a little strange. I remember when I was a kid, I had more than one of my friends’ mothers decide that I was a bad kid because of simple things like how I would forget to say hello, or couldn’t always talk, or because I’d say or do strange things and get overwhelmed and cry easily.

I should have been in bed a while ago but tonight I was just riled. up. :| This calls for more Ezra. Added him to the edge of a sketchbook page that was otherwise mainly white space. #art #oc #ocart #furry || #Ezra #ProphecyOfTheCircle (also feat.: #Henry #Errick #AlphaBase)

A photo of a sketchbook page featuring sketches of a small USB like device labelled “Archive Key”, a boy with curly dark hair reaching up to touch the long dark hair of an older, annoyed-looking boy, and a large sketch of a six-limbed furry character - Ezra - overarching the whole page. Ezra has a canine-like muzzle, shaggy dark hair, dragon wings on his back and fins on his head. He’s posed as if crawling down off of a ledge, wings outstretched and his long tail arched out behind him.

Recent events that I’ll eventually talk about (or just work into a novel, maybe; currently unsure) had me sketching an old OC from high school (so 25-30 years ago? Golly.) Every time I draw Ezra, he gets more grizzled and gremlin-like, I swear. — #art #oc #ocart #furry || #Ezra #ProphecyOfTheCircle

A photograph of part of a sketchbook page, featuring a sketch of a furry character. He has a white dog-like muzzle, two protruding fangs, front facing eyes, long, shaggy black hair atop his head and hanging around his shoulders, and two triangle shaped ears sticking out from the side of his head. He has white tips on his ears, but the rest of his ears and the top half of his face are lightly shaded gray. His fur is shaggy and unkempt. There are two fin-like protrusions on either side of his head behind his ears - they stick up like horns. He’s looking up and to his left with a narrow-eyed look of slight disgust.

Right. I should explain: I was away for a week, dealing with Big Life Stuff. I was very quiet leading up to it because the anticipation was worse than the actual events. But they were still big events, and I might cryptically process them as art for a while.

Sometimes writing happens, and sometimes it’s just putting puzzle pieces in order for an hour instead. I untangled a few things, and figured out how I want to connect the next few scenes, so it’s still a victory. 👍
