I have a few reference photos of plants and flowers I’ve taken in the past three years, and I haven’t drawn any of them properly.

I’m venturing into color today, just some brush pens. The sketch came out well and I almost feel bad for not taking the drawing further.

I got married and changed my last name 10 years ago, without ever figuring out a new online alias that makes use of it. JJacks was short for my real name.

But the obvious choice just came to me. JJam!

I wanted this account to be a friendly place about my hobbies. I’ll revive it as such soon.

My hobbies are: drawing, collage + short prose, crochet, and freeform embroidery. :)

The Texans’ helmets are so fucking fire. CHERRY CHROME

If I could afford a car, or gas, or driving school, or anxiety medication, I would love for that to be the color and I don’t even like red.

Wow, really analyzing my provisional autism diagnosis and my non-verbal learning deficiency and remembering more and more negative feedback to my childhood art. I couldn’t understand what was so wrong with my coloring pages, that meant I had to “try harder.” I did try :(

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

The intertwined, insular way AI companies fund themselves (and each other), means that moves like this could unintentionally cause a collapse.

SoftBank is still interconnected with Nvidia btw.

There are consequences to every action, foreseen or otherwise
Japanese giant SoftBank said Tuesday it has sold its entire stake in tech giant Nvidia for $5.83 billion.

It’s time for Speaker Johnson to cut the ridiculous excuses and do his job. Adelita Grijalva won an election more than 6 weeks ago, and she still hasn’t been sworn in to represent more than 800,000 Arizonans. Read her op-ed:
I was elected 6 weeks ago. Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me in.
Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me into office, an unprecedented and starkly undemocratic position that sets a very dangerous precedent.

This year has been exhausting for all creative people and it's normal to feel burned out or unmotivated, because the daily grind is consuming us. But be kind to yourselves, get plenty of rest and come back whenever you're ready.Your mental health goes first

Told y’all about Yamamoto. You heard it here fifth.
:0 Ohtani is a cheat code. Damn.

Him, Yamamoto, and Sasaki are just incredible talents with Yamamoto being particularly mesmerizing to watch if you like awesome pitching.

I just hate the Dodgers. Just like how I want Luka to win a ring, but he went to the fucking Lakers.

Here it is, your obvious way to start organizing: FOOD BANKS NEED *YOU*.

Encourage your friends / relatives who can afford it.

Shop just a LITTLE EXTRA where you can, and give it to your local food bank.

Be the driver who collects from the neighborhood and delivers to the bank.

Beginners , you don’t have to maximize your art practice to get better at drawing.

You can just draw sometimes. It doesn’t have to be good. You don’t have to learn a new skill with every piece. You won’t get “left behind.”

I try to keep posting art but I don’t have the motivation when so much is fucked up. I’m drowning, and seeing other people below the surface makes me sink even deeper.

I agree with the sentiment that people still need art. I do.

But I can’t do it anymore and what would it matter anyway?

I try to remind myself that the burning hatred I feel towards all that is disgustingly evil, is evidence of my honest love for humanity. I’m not alone. Most of us care about each other.

But if you voted for any of the conservative politicians currently destroying everything, go fuck yourself.
