Found this guy on a walk around my community. He seemed to mirror how I was feeling at the time.

A photo of a plastic skeleton sitting on a street curb that is painted red for a fire lane. The skeleton is looking up into the sky with a vacant expression. In the background is the gated entrance to a community dumpster that is blocked by a broken tricycle.

No, Ted Wheeler. No, they are not. Just ask President Donald Trump. #affordability

I was going to like this post, but I didn't want to be the one to break the nice number it's at.

Also, I hear that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?

This is elitism, plain and simple. This is an Adobe simp who is resentful that there are equivalent tools with integration for pixel, vector, and layout that don't require being a slave to Adobe's subscription structure and arbitrary fee increases. 1/6
A screen capture of a LinkedIn post from a user whose tagline says "Inkscape was created to get us to pay for Illustrator" that reads: Canva subsidizing Affinity to make it 100% free is the worst mistake the design world has embraced since the creation of Canva. This isn't about accessibility, though that will no doubt be the justification. It's about control. A free tool only exists for as long as its benefactor allows it to. We're better off paying Adobe $60 a month forever than surrendering our independence to a platform that designs when and how creativity is allowed to happen, or worse allowed to exist at all. Design tools aren't supposed to be frictionless. They're supposed to be obtuse -- difficult at worse, punishing at best. There's magic in wrestling with your limitations, in finding the edge of your ability and the tools themselves. Mistakes are how craft evolves, stories are written, and love for imagination runs wild. Strip that struggle away, and you don't democratize design; you sterilize it. It's in our darkest moments that our greatest achievements happen, this isn't a cause for concern, it's a warning that no one will see until it's too late.

Video games have taught me I need to search this trash can. There's either really good loot or a quest update here.

For people like me, who bond closely with their animal companions and love them like family, losing one of them is heartbreak on par with losing a sibling.

On 5/17, my husband and I said goodbye to the bestest of boys, our black and white kitty Mulder.

I miss you so much, buddy.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

A background of desaturated flames. Three statements are printed over the background. "End the modern 'gilded age'" is written in red near the top. "Stop the rise of robber barons" is written in white towards the center. "Stop American plutocracy" is written in blue near the bottom. A black border surrounds the image.

I needed to work on some art to relax for a bit. This was the result. I'm sorry, but I'm not sorry.

I had a bit of fun over the weekend working on a digital painting to try and focus on literally anything but politics.

A close-up portrait of an emu's face. The bird has deep amber eyes, a striated bluish beak, and a lot of hair-like fine feathers covering its body and face. It looks intense or angry.

Did a live stream on Twitch back on Sunday. It was a fun time, but for some reason, I was far more exhausted than normal afterwards. Anyway, had fun drawing a few things from chat suggestions.

Shin Godzilla (Kanata-kun), Silphymon from Digimon, and a bald eagle in a dumpster screaming skyward.
A sepia-toned sketch of the second form of Shin Godzilla - a lizard-like creature on its hind legs, struggling to move under the weight of its body on land. It has wide fish eyes that are blind, a series of inflamed gills along its long neck, and the stumps of slowly-evolving arms extending from its torso. It has the classic Godzilla dorsal spikes along its back and a long tail that ends with an eel-like tail fin. The creature's expression shows confusion and pain. A sepia-toned sketch of the Digimon character, Silphymon. They are crouching down on one knee, extending a hand forward as if to help the viewer. A speech bubble reads "Need a hand?" The character has a bird-like lower body. Each foot has two talons extending forward and one extending backwards in a simplified version of bird feet. Long tail feathers are spread behind the character. The character's torso features mammalian paws with five fingers each, a short claw at the end of each finger. Sharp bird feathers extend from the anterior plane of the forearms. The body is clad in a simple breastplate over a sleeveless stop, with simple pauldrons on each shoulder. The head is a combination of all features. The character has a human-like head with long rabbit-like ears and a helmet consisting of a simple dome and a large visor that covers the eyes, similar in design to a VR headset. Human hair sticks up in a spiky fashion behind the head. A crude sepia-toned sketch of a bald eagle seated in a garbage dumpster, screaming at the sky.
