I love to read, and rarely write.
I sometimes talk, but hate to fight.
I love to gaze at stars and trees
And fluffy cats (which make me sneeze).
I’ll only rarely post my work
Cuz I am mostly here to lurk.

Yesterday was a very lovely day for November, so I took a walk outside. While out, I came up with the theme, the starting lines, and one or two of the later lines for this poem, and had to stop and jot them down. I present the final product: Fallen Leaves. #poetry

The word "salary" comes from Ancient Rome when soldiers used to get paid every month in salamanders.

Two random people followed me today despite the fact that I haven’t opened the app in several weeks. Thank you and here’s a picture of some ducklings on a log that I took on my vacation this summer! I will not make promises of further activity. :P

🚫 Don’t: “Everyone is a little autistic.”

✅ Do: “Autistic traits are not exclusive to Autistic people

and it’s the cumulative constellation of traits that they have

that fundamentally differs from the lived experiences of Non-Autistic people.”

(A bit wordy, but maybe the nuance is worth it.)

This betta fish from December 2023 was a lot of fun. All the tiny lines that make up the fins and tail were so satisfying, evoking the joy of just doodling. Each color in the fins is a different layer, and each fin itself is a different group of layers. #krita #art #digitalart

First art post! (Finally.) This is one of the first digital art projects I did, about 2 years ago, and it's still one of my favorites. I use it as a profile picture in a lot of places, and I think it actually sparked the way dragonflies have become my Thing(tm). #krita #digitalart

Hello all: It is with a heavy heart that I remove my Starter Pack of "Trustworthy Mesopotamian Copper Ingot Merchants Within the City-State of Ur."

I have been informed about some pretty unfortunate oversights on my part and ultimately platformed some creators who should not have been platformed.

I think it’s kinda funny how I keep finding the most niche of starter packs in my discover feed. “Fluvial geomorphology starter pack”? Truly glad you can find your niche people in such a convenient way, but sometimes it just makes me giggle.

I was going to post some of my art today or maybe a poem but I’m too unmotivated to go choose one and write a description for it. Have a picture I took of a tree instead!
