thinking i might make this - and possibly also my main tumblr - more of a "general interests" space (still with a focus on creative stuff though).

Friend was venting a bit about struggling with "moot perception" and I think in 2026 some of you need to regain control and agency of your spaces. Having the "what will my followers think" mindset is self-harming. It's your account, with your rules, and every follower is a guest. Don't forget that.

Spencer, the protagonist of Wildcards, falling asleep at their bench while listening to music. Theirs is one of several character designs I'm trying to refine at the moment.

1. "why am I only finding the homicidal tweezers?"
2. [worried voice] "I really hope your milk calendar comes on time..."
