Damned idealistic fool. Accidentally in STEM. Purveyor of art, fantasy, and that gay shit. They/Them Queer. Chronically tired because of at least six different conditions and, you know- *gestures at everything* http://linktr.ee/klabarberaart

Hi, I’m Kieran! I’ve gone from full time professional artist to somehow having a STEM career, but I still make things on the side. I dabble in polymer clay sculpting, painting, & digital illustration. You can expect: #cats #ttrpgs #art It’s nice to meet you!

A star shaped basket filled with dice stickers of D10 dice inspired by TTRPG classes. There is a dark blue die for thief, a yellow die for Paladin, an orange die for barbarian, a brown die for ranger, and a green die for druid.

Three hand sculpted mushroom ornaments. One red with white spots, one teal with white spots, and one hunter green.

*in a public restroom. Everyone watched TikToks out loud while pooping in their own bathroom at home.

A wild ass sentence. Who watches TikToks out loud while pooping in the bathroom? I’m glad we shared this moment together though. If anyone ever asks me what I remember about Charlie Kirk being shot, this is what I’ll tell them.

Currently istening to one of my coworkers find out about Charlie Kirk as they’re watching TikToks while we’re both pooping in the bathroom.

The gremlin (Arya) seemed largely unaffected by our absence. But she did want cuddles when we got back.

We left the house for a little over 24 hours to celebrate our anniversary and here’s a summary of how the cats handled our absence.

A picture of a mostly white calico cat with the caption “Good cat of the week: Lyra. Politely entertained herself while we were gone overnight by bringing her toys into our bedroom.”

A picture of a black cat with the caption “Bad cat of the week: Crowley. Panicked while we were gone overnight, pooped in the shower, and peed on the papasan chair.”

Sometimes when a person dies it’s not a tragedy because the bastard actually deserved death.

James Dobson was one of those people.

My hobbies include taking a gummy, following every beautiful woman that comes across my FYP on TikTok, and then getting overwhelmed if any of them follow me back. (I have so many beautiful mutuals. I don’t understand how this happened.)

I have yet to see the new Superman, but hearing people talk about it has helped me finally understand Lex Luthor for the first time in my life.

If obsession can inspire an assassination attempt on Reagan just to get Jodie Foster’s attention, it can explain all the bullshit that Lex gets up to.

Earlier this week at work, I was struggling to get a door to stay held open by the magnetic latch on the wall. One of my coworkers came over and said “Here’s the trick to getting it to stay.”

Without thinking, I responded “You have to be pure of heart, and I’m not.” 🫠

When people ask me how I feel about our home, I often respond by enthusiastically telling them that there are at least five different types of bees in our yard.

It only recently occurred to me that the average person might not view this as a good thing.

In a groundbreaking new study, three out of three cats want to smell my dusty feet.

(I went to Greek Fest & accidentally stepped in a puddle while wearing sandals before walking around on gravel & dirt so my feet are coated in a layer of dust that the cats apparently find worthy of investigation.)

I thrifted a big papasan chair yesterday and now I’m going to have to fight a poopy little gremlin every time I want to sit in it.

Life hack: no one can stop you from listening to the Katamari Damacy theme in your head while imagining how a tiny little guy would roll up all the items in the room up into an ever growing ball.

After a weekend of gardening, it really makes me appreciate just how nice it is to shake off my seasonal depression so I only have my regular depression to deal with.

I scraped my pinky finger on one of its knuckle joints, causing it to heal weirdly. And unfortunately it’s now at the stage of the healing process where it looks like the side wound of Christ, which is to say that it also looks like a Georgia O’Keefe painting.

A medieval painting of the side wound of Christ, which looks similar to the eye of Sauron, many Georgia O’Keefe paintings, and vulvas.

Being able to buy ready-to-eat Red Hot Chicago hot dogs from Home Depot feels like a fair trade to make in exchange for not having a Waffle House within 4 hours of where I live.

That and the whole actually having civil rights thing makes the Chicagoland area a nice upgrade from Oklahoma.

Half assed artistic rendering of me working on the flower bed this afternoon while Teach Me How to Dougie played in my head on loop for 2 hours straight. Yes, I know the garden trowel looks questionable. I drew this in like 69 seconds, give me a break.

A hand drawn sharpie doodle of myself holding a plant and a garden trowel while singing “all my bitches love it, all my, all my bitches love it”. The garden trowel kind of looks like a butt plug.

I think that anyone who picks hold music that has a looped melody shorter than 30 seconds should experience negative consequences for that choice. Because why would you do that?

Is this possibly a form of dissociation? Don’t worry about it! Just vibe to the opening guitar riff.

Kieran Gale @kierangale.bsky.social · May 5

Life hack- no one can stop you from listening to the opening guitar riff of This Must be the Place by the Talking Heads inside your own mind. You can play it on loop endlessly and no one can stop you.
