My happy place

In other news, my wheelchair hates nature reserve paths. I really hope I can get my scooter fixed.

Met up with my mum and she brought some late Christmas presents from my aunt and sister.

My sister got me* a calendar of AI cat art.

*Me being someone who makes a living as a creator of cat art. 😬

Thank you everyone sharing. I'm hitting emergency stations here, less than a week to go and zero safety net, so the more eyes on this, the better.

(Yes, I am looking for other work etc. I'm unfortunately very disabled, so options are just... Not.)

Right, I have a week left to make rent, counting today, and that's the first goal. (Second is dealing with various emergencies.)

I have 23 different pendants up for grabs, all wrapped and ready to travel:

Go on, grab yourself some magic.

Love to be allergic to something I’m not supposed to be allergic to.

Not all hydrocolloid stuff is made the same I guess. At least the reaction is on my arm and not on my face.

I keep getting bogged down in the details of the speckling on this one and then mess it all up so I’m going come back to it tomorrow.

Ugh. OK, trying another scooter repair shop because the one I phoned yesterday can't even be bothered to phone me back or reply to emails about how much the call out fee is.

Spoke to someone who sounds actually helpful at another place. Lets see if they phone back when they've spoken to mechanic.

A not-completely-exhaustive illustration of our winter shorebirds, but these are the species that you’re most likely to see during winter around Teesmouth (northeast England).

The scooter has been drying off in the garage for a few days and I've charged it up. It works but there is a strange noise :(
I am imagining expensive repairs if water got into the motor. I will be lost without it :(

Guess whose scooter died and is waiting to be picked up 😭

Thought I’d see how easy it is to draw on my phone. It definitely hurts my hand much less to use a finger instead of a pencil. Accuracy is pretty tricky though! I am trying to learn colour better so I didn’t use the colour picker tool at all.

I'm not sure why the cats are in a jungle but that's were they lead me.
Enough sketching for today. I will try and work more on it tomorrow.

Oh, hello...

This *adorable* Long Tailed Tit would like to remind you to submit your #BigGardenBirdwatch results before 22nd February!

Every count, counts 👉 www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happen...
A small, round Long-tailed Tit perches on a branch, its tiny feet gripping the bark. Its soft white face and dark eyes peer sweetly at the viewer, head tilted ever so slightly as if politely reminding them to submit their Big Garden Birdwatch results. The gentle lighting and fluffy feathers add to its endearing, well-mannered presence.

Cats are determined to trample my keyboard as much as possible today. THey've already turned on some kind of voice over, deleted a post I was about to upload, and keep typing nonsense.

Diary comics thread for hourly comics day ✏️ intro/9am
#hourlycomicday #MEcfs #ChronicIllness
graphic reads ‘hourly comics day disability diaries’ with a drawing of me (white nonbinary guy w black facial scruff & short green hair) lying in bed looking shattered. Lower text reads ‘hello. I make comics, and—‘ “This year’s my 10 year anniversary of chronic illness (ME/CFS)” - a small cartoon of me with a balloon going ‘wow!!’ then ‘…wait.’ In an inset past year’s comic, I’m going ‘hopefully later I’ll be well enough to draw a little!’ but end up lying still in bed all day - ‘alas’. “*8 years of my illness being “moderate to severe” = mostly bedbound, unable to walk down the street or prepare a meal without collapsing.” “I’ve been making a day of hourly comics every February since I first got ill” (some pics of many years worth of hourlies,w ith me waking up feeling exhausted, too ill to sit up) “It can be hard, but it means a lot to share the reality of my daily life honestly and to hear from others in the same boat. So here’s Hourly comics day 2026” - a small baloon now reads ‘still here!’ next to the same drawing as the first, me now waking up. 9am - “good morning my body feels like it’s been run over by a train’
