Reminder that if you're trans like me every day you're alive is a protest. If I keep making art that's a protest. My body and heart are broken many times over; I'm not gonna beat myself up about what extra I "could be doing" beyond the help I already give to others. Cis/abled folks can step tf up.

Our feature tutorial/artist for today is this wonderful FLAME PAINTING IDEA by @mitcher_meier! I LOVE how a SIMPLE SHAPE can BUILD & SUBTRACT, and in a few steps create something so FULL OF LIFE! This is such a brilliant starting point for AWESOME FIRE! #gamedev #illustration

I returned to Mt Tomah yesterday. The wattlebirds left the Puya flowers unguarded for a few minutes and this Eastern Spinebill managed to slip in under the RADAR.

I kinda hate that I know more than the average person about a lot of things I don't actually care very much about.

apropos of nothing i have been doing some budget projection and it is not unlikely our income next year will be hovering right around the threshhold to get ACA subsidies, so like i could make one amount of money and pay $560/month for insurance or make $100 more and pay $1270/month

“But you can bounce lasers off of mirrors the Apollo astronauts put on the moon yourself!”
I mean; ok, pretty good, but have you tried, “Yeah, the government /did/ lie about the moon landings…for example, every time an Apollo astronaut said ‘sunofabitch’ the official transcripts read ‘garbled’.”

Oekaki boards
Photoshop... I wanna say 5 or 6? (Bootleg)
Paint Tool Sai
Clip Studio Paint Pro
I definitely played with other software along the way, these are just the major milestones xD

Corel Draw with a mouse
Scanned drawings into borrowed Photoshop and a mouse
College… Photoshop and a small Wacom in the lab

- MS Paint
- Photoshop 7
- Photoshop CS2
- openCanvas 7
Also had Clip Studio Paint, but got that on my laptop not long before it died and borrowing a worse one... never was able to get it or iPad fixed ($$)
I've always wanted to try drawing with Procreate+Apple Pencil!

Um… hi. Do you think… maybe… you might like SlumberTown? If you read it, I mean.
N-not that you have to! It’s just… I think it could be nice to read. Maybe even helpful? If you feel alone in the world, like me. Hah.
Sorry. Nevermind. I don’t know what I’m saying.

QRP this post in the exact tone of your OC. Let them say what they want to say - but it has to fit their way of talking!

Hands up if you've never used Chat GPT ✋
(I feel like Dozer and Tank in The Matrix right now - at first I didn't use it because, rather ironically, I'm lazy and stubborn (peak Taurus energy there) - literally no, don't make me use the new thing I don't wanna. Now I'm glad I didn't 😅)

Probably a good way to tell right now if the job you’re applying for is run by absolute dumbfucks is to ask if they’re using AI.
