LinkedIn is such a weird space. It feels like inspirational worksona larp posts is the requirement and there's only so much cheese my lactose intolerant self can throw together without feeling like I'm being cringey.

POV: You are trying to play a video game
A warmly lit living room, seen from the point of view of someone in blankets on the couch. The majority of the focal point is taken up by an elderly black and tan dog, who is grey in the face. They are sitting front and center of the viewer. Their ears are half perked and their eyes watery and pleading. Behind them is a barely visible screen that the OP was playing a video game on

To be loved is to be changed.
A slightly low resolution of a young black and brown dog sitting on a blue carpet. He is bright eyed, sleek, and healthy. He boasts an absolutely impressive set of folded ears, and a lime green collar. His head is tilted curiously at the camera. Over a decade has passed, and the same dog is present sitting on a different, multi-colored carpet. His face has lost all it's brown and become coated in Grey and white, and his bright eyes are slightly cloudy. He now has leather collar, but the same incredible ears. His head is tilted at the camera.

Blocking your Malabrigo Rios knits be like 'Wow, I love the size you had on this, double it and give it to the next person.'

Sorry for using comics and art to vent and cope with the world changing around me. I will return to drawing whimsical and silly frog wizards and adventures.

Someone is feeling better, and I'm cautiously optimistic that after two weeks and gradual food shifts we're over the hill. One more stress point off the plate.

Please enjoy Rook begging while I make tea. Because it *could* be for puppies!

Interviewer: "So if you could be any bird in the sky, what would you be?"

Me, an avid birder:
A two panel meme of a gull. The first has the gull with it's head flexed over it's back, braking wide open. The caption beside it implying it is taking a deep breath. The next panel is flooded red, the gulls facing forward and yelling with a bright light emanating from it's eye like a laser beam. The caption reads "LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT WRENS-" implying the OP's eagerness to talk about their special interest

I have an interview tomorrow for a role across the country. I'm feeling unsure and unprepared after a weekend with a sick pup. I'm scared to fail, but I'm also scared to succeed. Tomorrow's bound to be interesting.
A close up shot of a blue mouse puppet with just the eyes and ears showing. The eyes are bugged out and looking in different directions, giving the impression of being rather manic

I am so stressed out about Rook being sick and uncomfortable. The vet wouldn't prescribe the medication that I know helped him before and he's continued to show signs of discomfort. And now since they're closed I get to just tie myself in knots until Monday or signs of improvement

Rook has been sick today so while doing WFH I've been using the emotional support chicken pattern for it's listed purpose vs. my anxiety. It has been very effective for progress.

Also I just realized I've been doing short rows this whole time??? Wild. 🧶

Every time I choose to look at politics too long, I can feel myself actively inflicting psychic damage. So I go back to my job, my hobbies, my dog, and just try to function day to day as the price to live ticks slowly higher.

It is such a fucking relief to see movement of the people, finally, in response to The Everything™️. Including just an absolute fucking bodying of anti-trans politicians.

I'm gonna go cheers a small drink and sit in relief that there's still momentum to be found for hope of better days to come.

I've been motivated by the cold weather and rain in my corner of the world these last few days to try to pick up the pace on my Sote sweater. 🧶

A half completed panel of Sote by Alicia Plummer. It is being worked up in Plötulopi held double. It rests on a desk with an owl and flower print project bag in the background.
