at the point with pencils where I feel like I need to redo them all because aesthetically, they don't look as good as I want them to (which, btw, is perfect. I cannot achieve that, but I want to try)

Please share or give if able to help Tinu, she needs all the support possible to fight this cancer & keep herself cared for otherwise. She helps so many other people when they need help for disability or financial issues. 💜
I was all like “please help me afford to stay on the chemo pills insurance won’t cover so I won’t end up on IV chemo.” So anyway here’s me yesterday. WAY more expensive so if you can spare it please help. Venmo/CashApp TinuWrites PayPal.me/TinuWrites

I just read the first book of the Jedi Academy series by Jeffery Brown, and I'm thinking (manifesting) that a series like that about STARFLEET ACADEMY would work. I even made a comic to prove it. #kidlit You know, in case anyone is into that kinda thing, or knows a publisher who is 🖖 #startrek

It takes seconds with resistbot. I just did this and I was number 87 and 58 respectively, to sign, so let's get some more people signing! Come on fellow Californians, we can stop 5 people from controlling access to care.
CALIFORNIA PEOPLE: this is an URGENT call to arms against corrupt city officials that conspired with their police and anti-abortion extremists to block a local abortion clinic. YOU can help by calling for an independent investigation into this bullshit and all you have to do is send two texts!

A juvenile California Towhee had decided my yard is home, and it's so lovely. It got right up against my back window yesterday looking for food. My cats were going crazy and it was just strutting around casually, like, hi weird creatures, let's be friends! ( Thru the glass) So cute!

Speaking of, if you live in California, please text “Sign PGHZOY” and “sign PHQICF” to 50409 to encourage your reps to join calls for an independent investigation with public disclosure into allegations against BH city officials colluded with antiabortion extremists to prevent a clinic from opening.
This is a really good time if you're not already connected to local groups and organizations organizing around particular issues to find ones in your communities that could use your talents and skills.
How Beverly Hills became an unlikely battleground for the future of abortion rightswww.yahoo.com The campaign by an antiabortion group to block the opening of a specialized clinic in Beverly Hills may offer a playbook for similar efforts in other cities and states.

Bruised thumb was definitely a challenge during left side spins and turns during class. I got the carousel spin down though! On my right. Not my left.

Glad I never used sticker mule. Yikes.

Can't sleep. Thinking about how in season 1 of Picard, they had Soji straight up walk the Pattern and called it Zhal Makh like it wasn't entirely taken from Zelazny's Amber series.

Took a break to weed the yard because it's finally not HTB out, and my right thumb got pinched so hard it went numb, bruised and blood blistered instantly. Drawing will be fun tomorrow. 😵‍💫

Cub Scouts make your badges iron on challenge. *Grumbling while trying to sew on Beta's Wolf patch* Like who puts a patch half on and half off a pocket. WHOMST I ask you.

Explain your book/WIP in one short sentence badly: 1) A diminutive onion mage is harassed by hungry elves. 2) A woman who lives in a bog goes house shopping with a muppet. #kidlit
Explain your book/WIP in one short sentence badly: - professional wedding ruiner picks the WORST time to think of changing jobs There are others, but I don’t feel like sharing them just yet

My spouse was in the wilderness all weekend so when he got back I was like, "you've missed SO MUCH news, you have no idea." A blessing, really. To be off the grid.

Man, whoever decided to make mattress covers that require you to remove the entire mattress from the bed to zip it into the cover needs a swift kick in the shins. I can't move a full mattress down off a loft bed on my own.

I don't know why I'm checking here when I'm doing my best to avoid doom scrolling. I'm trying to stick to the "find weird old British shows on YouTube" rabbit hole. I found one where ocd folks help hoarders. I'm all in.

Ignoring everything to post a wip scene from my (maybe zine, maybe web based) comic. Escape reality, embrace pompous elves.

The good thing is I can't watch the news right now because Alpha has no interest and is running the TV, so we're watching a yt video about horror seeds in Minecraft.

I see I missed A LOT by choosing to spend my day cleaning and hanging out with Alpha. I uh, I might go back to that...

Inside me are two wolves. One is very tidy and high strung. The other is very scattered and messy. Both are very confused about how they got here.

I'm sure the urge to deep clean my bathroom at almost 11pm is completely normal

Going to show Alpha the OG Ghostbusters tonight. Beta has seen it, along with Gremlins and Tremors, but Alpha is less into campy 80-90s comedy horror
