Had to take my clothes out while the closet dries and why did I move a chair into my bedroom to lay the hanging stuff on when I have a mostly empty clothing rod in the closet in the next room

I made a critical mistake I've been eating stew (two kinds) for lunches and dinners while it's chilly because that sounded nice

I have not actually been eating enough and I am STARVING

I get the urge but blaming the measles stuff on current admins and not on the long developing anti vax sentiment that took roots across communities allowing for this to spread is unhelpful and fails to provide a path to a real solution

I totally forgot to advertise but I've got time this week for a fast tracked peacock lovers piece

I can arrange for a cute card indicating it's coming OR shipping can be upgraded for on time delivery
I had this idea for a Valentine's Day themed peacock lovers piece last year and I'm so glad someone commissioned it so I could bring it to life

just feels like we could all use a little love and a little art, so please enjoy

Using alt text is a way to be kind that you can start doing right now.

It’s right there in your accessibility settings. Turn on require alt text before posting to help yourself remember (worth checking because this app sometimes flips it off for no reason).

I take it one step further and say that a lot of "fitness influencers" are really aesthetic influencers because the behaviors they're pushing are unhealthy, disordered eating as meal prep for example. They are selling you a look which has absolutely nothing to do with fitness or health.
I mix my creatine in my mouth with water. I love fitness.

I am also deeply aware that I’m only allowed to love it bc my body is currently cooperating, and that is not permanent nor the case for everyone.

A *lot* of fitness influencers are lowkey just bullies with favorable genetics.

Hey y'all, I'm a bit nervous that I'll be losing my FT job sooner than later (long story) so I wanted to get better at sharing my work just so maybe I can keep building my audience there. 1st up, here's a piece I wrote on a horror classic:
Eternal Night: Dracula: Prince of Darkness at 60
Exploring horror, film, and pop culture, all while celebrating the creators, history, and artistry that keep the genre alive.

Feels weird, posting about a book sale right now, but:
1. It's a book about vigilante justice vs. billionaires on their private island.
2. It's cathartic.
3. Reading is rebellion. Joy is rebellion. Art is rebellion.
4. If I make money, I donate it to the right causes.
Sale across all e-book vendors.

seriously kids what do I say to the boy who definitely sometimes was adjacent when I walked out of school with some of the baseball guys but I have never spoken a word to who has decided to message me "it's been awhile"

because I feel like "no it hasn't" is meaner than I usually am
