And it's not to be scared of bats. Bats...are nice people.

Be scared of rabies. Be VERY scared of rabies.

If a bat touches you and you're not controlling it like this with thick gloves and knowing what you're doing

You need to get a rabies vaccination and I'm deadly serious.

If a bat *touches* you.
PSA for any bat-friends inspired by this post: thick work gloves like the ones being worn in this picture are absolutely necessary before attempting to handle a bat! Do not let it anywhere near bare skin! And if it appears ill or is acting erratically, do not approach, just call a pro
Hey if I'm late on my next deadline its because I just spent 2 hours swabbing this guy with oil to save him from a moth trap

My 2026 advice for other creative people is to avoid the shit out of environments/dynamics that pressure you to treat creativity like a competition to win.

So glad I put all the hours that I did into practicing bizarre character shapes because now I can just draw nonsense at work and it ends up looking cool instead of stupid

When I feel the urge to get into a fight online is when I know I need to go do other things because usually people are trying to find a way to be normal when everything around them very much isn’t, and it’s kinda not in their control

"Why isn't anyone doing anything"

They are, but they're smart enough not to post about it on fucking social media

Keep drawing, keep writing, keep creating. Society struggles to quantify the benefits of art, but it does help.

Ask not what your representative will do for you (nothing), ask how you can make your representative so miserable they quit their job
My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds.

I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are.

My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.
I call Tommy Tuberville every fucking week, multiple times a week, because he can be evil but I don't have to let him do it without pushback.

So I don't need to hear excuses. I call the dumbest senator in the country. 😂

Hey yall don’t apologize or be sorry for posting something nice or having fun today. I strongly believe humans aren’t equipped to handle this amount of info all day every day. Please live. Have joy. Being informed doesn’t have to be public and you don’t have to drown.

Just in case anyone out there feels like they shouldn’t post art - please do. The constant bullshit from the news is difficult but we can’t allow all of that to stop us from making art and sharing it. That’s all I have to say rn - am planning to enjoy the rest of my weekend working on sketches.

friendly reminder to not post anything that will get feds knocking on your door and putting you on no-fly lists, no matter how upset you are about injustices. it doesn't matter that you're not serious and it doesn't matter if you append "in Minecraft". be careful with what you say, here or anywhere

Hang in there, everyone.

Focus on actionable steps to avoid spiraling.

And also breathe. Don’t forget to do that too.

I‘m discontinuing my social media use for the foreseeable future and I want to explain why.

I woke up in the new year to discover that some guy on here had saved photos I took on New Year’s Eve and used Grok to remove my clothes. I know this because he showed me.

Email, call, and yell at your reps online to demand they end this illegal war. Stopping the violence is priority #1.
