Balancing campaign prep with tackling more of my commission queue. 💪

Here's a splash portrait of a lovely ott enjoying the water for @captainrief.bsky.social - thank you! 💙

Portrait painting of an anthropomorphic sea otter just under the surface of the water with wavy brown hair, tawny fur, yellow eyes, and red swimming goggles! He looks delighted, air bubbles rising from his nostrils and open mouth.

Be suspicious of anyone who says turkey burgers are just wannabe-burgers, or are just a boring "health food" type option, or anything along those lines.

Because a properly done turkey burger is delicious as heck.

This applies to hot dogs too.

Nothing quite so rejuvenating as going for a good splash! Would you swim with a sea otter?

One of those rare bands that somehow manages to continue to feel like themselves as the year goes on despite shifts in style.

I feel like that's the subconscious thought going on in my head so many nights...

What a gloomy morning.

The #1 use case for Roman numerals is video games. (Source: it feels right just trust me) 🤣
Checks certainly have their uses still.
But many of these other ones gave me a good chuckle. That darned food pyramid made us all fat from garlic bread! 🤣

And an amazing game on top of it, too. :)

It baffles me when bicyclists believe traffic laws don't apply to them.
I had a run-in with bicyclists at a four-way stop on Friday. They were still a ways off when I started to cross. One of them yelled about me walking slowly in front of them. They didn't even slow down or stop at the sign.

Sometimes I feel like a ghost, unable to make meaningful changes to my life, while not being believed when I tell people how much I try.

Four-page comic.

Page 1
Top section: Narration text says, “Every day I wake up convinced I’ll finally do the thing I’ve been wanting to do for so long, but I’ve gotten so tired of waking up every day knowing that nothing has changed.”

Panels show lists of undone tasks:
- Narration: “Another day and I still haven’t cleaned the table so I can cook, still haven’t filled out important forms, haven’t thrown out the spoiled food I put next to the fridge a week ago, still haven’t unpacked the luggage from 9 months ago, and I lost a letter and am too ashamed to ask for a copy.”

Final narration on this page: “I do the wrong tasks, don’t finish, or get paralyzed before being able to start anything.”

Page 2
Panels contrast misconceptions with reality.
Narration: “When I can’t do something, it’s not: ‘It’s not fun so I won’t bother.’ Or ‘I don’t wanna do it.’”

Next panels show dread. Narration: “It’s more like I feel dread and my body yells back at me: ‘You won’t feel rewarded for this, so you’re wasting survival resources and energy.’ ‘DON’T DO IT.’”

Further narration: “I can’t even explain why I don’t do things, so people don’t believe me. I’ve started isolating because gathering my courage to ask for help and being shamed hurts so much.”

Closing narration on this page: “It feels like I’m a ghost, unable to make meaningful changes to my life. An existence unseen and unheard, having to hide so as not to trouble others.”

Page 3
Narration continues: “All I can do is watch as my life falls apart in slow-motion, as people watch and ask themselves ‘why doesn’t she just do something?’”

Further narration: “Every day I would fight myself to great exhaustion without any result to show for it. So after a while, I gave up fighting.
Not because I had a negative mindset, but as a result of my experiences.”

Someone scolds: “No one is coming to save you, stop being so self-defeating!”

Shift in tone: Narration asks, “Do you know what saved my life?”
A supportive voice replies: “I believe you. I will help you.”

Page 4
Narration: “It’s not that no one has helped me before, but no one believed how much help I needed.”

Someone else says dismissively: “I’m sure you can do it!”

Narration continues: “And it’s not that I can’t do anything – I can do many things that others can’t. It’s just that where my mother needs help using the PC, I need help organizing my day.”

Further narration: “People aren’t made to survive alone – without any help.”

Closing text: “I am still my own person. I have my own morals, agency, hopes and dreams. And if I have a robust scaffolding to work on, I can not only live, but thrive.”

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.
