You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

Oh no, terrible news. Even if you don't know his name, you DEFINITELY know his art. He was one of those fixtures of my childhood and pop culture in general. His work is so immensely inspiring, may his name and art be forever remembered as one of the greatest contributions to our modern culture.

Just saw on IG that Drew Struzan has died. RIP to the man who painted my childhood.

My extremely codependent EHR system can't function without me

Taro, Professional Dilettante @untramentaro.bsky.social · 1d

I would be in the hospital from a single sip of that one Panera charged lemonade and possibly dead

Taro, Professional Dilettante @untramentaro.bsky.social · 1d

I am a load bearing individual and the EHR needs me there for moral support and if I'm not there it doesn't want to work anymore

1 3

Taro, Professional Dilettante @untramentaro.bsky.social · 1d

Starting to suspect that the EHR system is linked to whether or not I am present at work because this is the third time I've called out of work for reasons and in that same timeframe the work announcement channel says that the EHR system is down

You know what it's a stupid ass reason too because I have adverse reactions to caffeine so it's because I went out for a drink with someone yesterday and my drink wasn't decaf apparently

You see a normal person might decide to take the whole day off
However
I really hate having to reschedule my patients so I try to go to work if I'm not physically about to collapse or throw up or something
This is why my staff keeps telling me I need a vacation, huh.

So I woke up feeling like shit (headache stomach pain and extremity numbness) this morning so I asked my work if my morning patients to be rescheduled so I can rest more but now I have to go force myself to eat and go to work for the afternoon

A formline design of a cocoon and an emerging butterfly, coloured in the same shades as the transgender flag. The cocoon has half of a human face on it, and the butterfly’s wings are made of human hands.

An assortment of formline stickers. The designs include a hyena, a chickadee, an otter head, a capybara, and a harbor seal.

A picture of the vendor booth for TeleKitnetic Art at Canfurence 2025.

A picture of a formline wooden pin. The design is of a sitting wolf and a wolf pup in grey-brown. The wolf pup is pawing at its parents leg with its tongue stuck out.

It's really just a visual novel with card battles. There's really only one part of the game I struggled with but you can watch the stories on YT instead of playing because gacha games are stupid anyway (saying this as a TWST player)
