Can confirm. As someone currently living in northern VA, trump’s bullshit isn’t something happening across the country to faceless people, it’s super personal — ppl here also understand deeply (because it was their job to understand) how bad this is nationally and long term, too

Honestly none of my pets ever really hated fireworks (not the big kind nor the small ones either) and I live near DC so we have non-stop fireworks over the summer 🤷‍♀️

Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to get better at values over the last few years and I’ve found it really helps to use them from the very start while first sketching so I’m always thinking about them!

Same! Traveling to the UK from America I adjust in a day or two but something about crossing the international date line just wrecks me! But I hope you had a wonderful trip!

welcome back! The jetlag between Japan and the West Coast is no joke -- the most jetlagged I've ever been was returning to California after two weeks in Japan, I think I went to bed at 6 am for about half a month after 🫠

Yes!! I ended up pausing after a few tasks and making art for a bit if only to get me out of The Mood. I’m weird with lists — I don’t find them helpful for work/illus projects 🤷‍♀️ but I do find them useful for non-work tasks! That little dopamine hit of checking something off is a strong motivator
