I’m officially halfway to being A+ Certified!! Passed my Core 1 exam this past week after about 4 months of on-and-off studying. Such a relief to have it done! 😊
Gonna take a short break with a non-technical class, then jump into studying for Core 2!

Sharing this because it’s always important to know your lookalikes. If you can’t get a 100% positive ID, don’t stomp.

So pretty!! Look at the details on those wings 😍
A Variegated Fritillary (Euptoieta claudia), nectaring on zinnias in the garden a couple weeks ago. Found statewide in Illinois but not a common butterfly, this is the first one I've seen in the yard. #garden #BloomScrolling #insects #GardenParty 🌿

Having a fun study day! Have definitely found that color-coding my notes SIGNIFICANTLY helps when trying to read them back later.
Next up: the TCP/IP model!

Went to a local art meetup last night and I think it was the best thing ever?? Haven’t gotten to draw in a group like that since college, it was so refreshing and I met so many cool people!
This is a reminder to get involved in your local communities!! You will feel better for it.

"I want to keep boycotting Amazon, but I also want to support indie authors. How do I do that?"
Many indie authors have their books on Barnes & Noble & Kobo! There are also places like Smashwords & Campfire that are almost all indie books! Itchio now has a THRIVING LGBTQ Indie Book Scene.

TRYING TO REMAIN CALM but the schedule changes take effect this Monday which means I lose roughly 18 hours and my full-time status. May be relying on commissions for a while! 🥲
not to be like personal on main (i am just a brand entity after all) but I have the worst luck with jobs and it's beyond my control; my day job is cutting hours so I will once again be annoying about my commissions LOL thank yew: artistree.io/erindrawsstuff

I know it’s so easy to shop at big stores with cheap stuff, but those companies don’t have quality or your best interests in mind. I design & engrave all my own products, & my pottery comes from local ceramicists, so you’re supporting 2 small businesses with every mug you buy! #economicblackout

So done with this ethics class. Like dgmw I totally understand the importance of it, but its SO business oriented and that side of IT is really not where my interest lies.
I know I gotta do it, but i swear I already know how to think critically. lemme learn Linux or networking or something plsss

📣 MAJOR MAJOR PSA 📣
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR A PROTEST. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO "REGISTER" TO SHOW SOLIDARITY. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GIVE YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, AND PHONE NUMBER TO HAND OUT AND DISTRIBUTE MATERIALS.
YOU JUST SHOW UP.

also if you see a website about a “strike” or other large-scale protest, and they ask you to “sign up” by giving your personal information, DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR INFORMATION! they are almost certainly honeypots! and any that might not be can easily be compromised!

Please go check out my friend Erin!! Her art is incredible and she has a very reliable commission history!
WELP I just had to spend more than half of my paycheck on replacement retainers, so if y'all are feeling generous and able to do so, commissioning me would help me tremendously lol

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
