I make art sometimes. Cat, dog, chicken mom. She/they.
Stribing Beauty Cape mallow. One of mine and the bee's favorites. It blooms 12 months out of the year here (zone 9) and never needs anything, including water, from me!

Also I can't watch short form content hardly at all and my focus without a show/music/etc is much better so I can't be too mad but I would like to leave the house!! And not feel like I'm going to expire at the mere thought!!

Pretty sure the concussion I gave myself at the start of this year unlocked knitting and also agoraphobia. Plus side knitting went from impossible to learn for 13 years to making perfect sense...down side, I can't make myself leave the house for literally anything.

I’m so tired of hearing why people “need” AI for this or that.
What about “this technology is killing the only habitable planet we have AND is fueled solely by stolen work for which the vast majority of authors and artists will never see compensation” is ambiguous?

This is one of my favorite things about cats. They're so direct and just wanna be heard. It's such an honor when they offer you their trust and it's really sweet to be able to look back and see how it took time to create the relationship you have.

I also tried wire wrapping for the first time. The beads are fancy jasper. It's not the best but I like it still.

I made a few other things too but I already gave them away or they didn't photograph well.

I'm glad paper mache is having its time to shine again. It's so underutilized. You can litterally take what would otherwise end up being trash and make whatever you want. Right now I'm making trinket shelves and I get to use cereal boxes that won't recycle and it's great.

I'm finally getting through the dried chickpeas I bought and so the house smells like harissa roast chickpeas and chickpea curry with whatever vegetables I had. Might make chickpea smash sandwiches tomorrow too for lunch if I'm feeling fancy.

Fixed up this older jester drawing I did. The border was inspired by a bunch of folk art designs and was super fun to zone out with.

The leaves are finally yellow and falling, the air smells like incoming rain, I'm about to make vegan orange chicken while listening to RAYE's Royal Albert Hall performance...I love life

There are so many strange little succulents I somehow did not know existed in my 10+ years of growing them. Every time I go on reddit I see something new. I yearn to find a haworthia truncata in the garden center.

I can't totally explain why it feels like that but being a disabled child who got physically injured by others and got told this just for telling someone off...it sure feels similar

The way some people hold disabled people to far higher standards than able-bodied folks really feels like defending yourself after getting beat up as a kid and getting told by the adults that you shouldn't have because you're older/bigger/etc sometimes
