I was reminded that Raph canonically wears a cute bear onesie to bed and I started thinking about what Sharron would wear. #rottmnt #rottmntoc #rottmntraph

There is absolutely no way I could pull off something like this in my current financial situation, but I don’t want to totally dismiss the idea as something I could maybe try and work/save for, at least. Maybe.

I've been looking into possibly getting my Masters degree abroad and I gotta say, even just entertaining the possibility that I could has me so emotional /pos

Like, I wanted to continue after I got my bachelors degree but I couldn't bc of financial stress. But if I could go back to school I would.

Margarita canonically grew up in Ocean City, Maryland, and then moved to New York City to open her bar, and she’s a die hard Philadelphia Eagles fan. Cause you know, that makes so much sense /silly

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

The realist in me is like "there's no way this is going to work out" and the child inside me is very loudly saying "fuck you I still wanna try!!"

Drawing him comes so naturally and yet this is the first time I've ever done it. Like revisiting a childhood friend and just clicking right back up where you left off #tmnt

The concept of integrating but never truly belonging. Adopting all these different faces & names of other people and things, but none of it is 100% ours. Were we ever something or someone before our system formed? Which one is the real one and which ones are the copies? We'll never know

✨Nina's Art Nook ✏️ COMMISSIONS OPEN @zinzabee.bsky.social · 14d

Realizing that The Thing is our favorite horror movie because of the idea of trying to mimic other things all the time in order to fit in, never truly feeling like we have an identity of our own, and the fear that if anyone found our what we really are they would fear us hits close to home.

My cat scratched my eye the other day (don’t worry, I’m fine!) so I doodled this on our lil kitchen whiteboard once I realized it was on the same side as Raph’s. #rottmnt

aside from every other horrible emotion I have felt for this past year....I think that a profound, deep sadness is how I would describe what is most apparent.

I cannot fathom.. on any level.. that so many peoples hearts and souls are so dark and full of hate.

Getting harder to manage the dissociative episodes and switching with our current situation, man. Feels like we’re crawling on hands and knees through the trenches of muddy mental health
