What should I do for my birthday? I'm a full time pregnant mom who is tired, broke and I only have like one local friend. It is genuinely so hard to come up with anything.

I’m anticipating a rough winter this year. Usually it doesn’t snow before my birthday but that’s not the case this time. Ah well. Snow is pretty, I just hate driving in it. Thankfully I got my winter tires put on just in time. Can’t wait to move next year and never have to prepare for snow again.

FFX was so formative to me as a kid. It was such a good game! Beloved by many. I feel like people don't talk about it enough. Thinking about replaying it sometime soon because it's been a while.

1000% this. The ONLY reason I've been able to make it even a little bit in my art career is because my husband can take care of me. Even then, I had to work a retail job for years. Artistic success can be measured many ways. I've since traded that for children, so my creative time is very limited.
Many full time creatives have “invisible safety nets” like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.
When people hear that I'm returning to part time work they often ask "are things not going well with your art?"
The problem really is things are going well, but the world is so unstable that I long for some consistency and income that I don't have to pay quarterly taxes on

My son and I dressed as dragons for Halloween. His costume is actually one I sewed for him for his birthday. The dragon egg represents his future sister hehe

It really sucks that the joy of buying and opening a pack of Pokemon cards on a whim has been taken away from me. I was never really big into the TCG but I liked to occasionally open a pack and see the pretty art. But now that it's a money-maker, casuals like me are not allowed to partake. I hate it

I know most parents think they have the cutest child and I am extremely biased but I think my son is exceptionally cute. I can only imagine what my daughter is going to look like.

Bruh. My toddler fell asleep on me DURING take-off. What on Earth did I ever do to deserve such a wonderful beautiful child? He's so good-natured and easygoing. I'm gonna be thinking about this trip for the rest of my life, I swear.

Just don't post. Don't feel the need to weigh in on every issue all the time. Sometimes other people have said it better. Don't force yourself to chase trends, news, events, drama, and definitely don't feel like you have to be involved in everything that happens.
I had a wonderful day today! Had my anatomy ultrasound and we are having a GIRL! She will be the 6th grandchild on my parents side and the only girl. I am on cloud ten billion! Had a big ugly snotty cry from the sheer joy of the news. I can't wait to meet her. 😭
