I think a hyperfixation on a long running Japanese media franchise could fix me… at least, like, temporarily.

Me. The one who I’ve always been.

Even if you didn’t notice it.

Even if you don't want to see it.

Went to see Good Boy in theaters. Really enjoyed it! Got some genuine scares out of me, and Indy the dog’s performance was so captivating. Loved after credits thank you where the director explained how the film was made and why Indy’s acting was so good 💜

Every october my friends turn their big beautiful home into an art gallery where the art that is displayed and performed is brought by all their friends and guests. It’s my favorite party of the year, every year 🎨💕

My art this year was my monthly oil paintings. Fun to see them in a gallery setting!

Life hack: Keep little bits of origami paper in your wallet so when you’re waiting around in a lobby or restaurant, instead of scrolling your phone, you can fold up a little guy to leave behind and make someones day slightly brighter~

Went camping in the San Juans with a group of friends. I love visiting the islands so much~

Just imagine trying to tell this dog he’s not allowed on a sofa… That’s his natural habitat!

Went backpacking with @straander.bsky.social and @lhet.bsky.social over the weekend, and we lucked out with an alpine lake all to ourselves. 🏕️

Not gunna lie, working on my comic has felt like pulling teeth for the last two years.

I’ve gotten tragically good at forcing myself to make things i don’t want to.

Got a health screening done the other day and my bloodwork and stats were, according to the nurse, “really fantastic”.

Turns out that “i think im in the best shape ive ever been” feeling has the numbers to back it up 🎉

Do you ever think about how the relationship between dogs and humans is older than civilization, and get emotional?

Useful tip for navigating life: Most people do not actually hate you. They might not understand or relate to you, but most other human beings are perfectly happy to let you do you.

It's only a few of them who ever feel the need or desire to scapegoat you to avoid acknowledging their own problems.

Playing around with some new digital brushes.

I forgot how fun it was to just draw without an end result in mine. Just scribble around see what shapes come out.

Sorry to miss Furvana this year, especially with how many cool people are going. My journeys are taking me elsewhere, though.
Hope everyone has fun!
