I am such a nerd. I got access to some new data tables at work (something like 2 years after I first requested it), and I am just bouncing-off-the-walls giddy about the reporting I'm *finally* going to be able to generate.

Was feeling really down on myself last night, and decided to use art as a coping mechanism. This was from a tutorial, so I don’t get any creative credit, but it was fun and got me using brushes I hadn’t used before. Also, painting with color directly instead of relying on layer blending. #ArtWithFlo

Baby's first commissioned artwork! Although I use the term "commissioned" lightly, and I asked that the $ be donated to my local animal shelter. Sure, I still have no idea how to make objects actually feel like they're sitting in a 3D space, but I was still pretty pleased with how this turned out.

I’ve been in a bit of a knitting rut this year, but at least I finally finished some socks. Hopefully I can find a better balance between hobbies next year.

I'll go one step further: it's a shitty move to yuck someone's yum. I've been guilty of this myself, and I'm trying to be better. But it's infinitely kinder to say "eh, not for me" than "this is garbage, and you should feel sorry for liking it." If it's not hurting anyone, let people have their joy.
My advice: Like what you like and don't worry about anyone who tells you it's cringe. Life's short and the world's on fire, and as long as you're not hurting other people, you're fine. I mean, I still like U2, too! I don't care who knows it. If other people don't like that, that's a them problem.
I love U2. I feel like I could have glided along, enjoying them, if it wasn’t for that damned internet. Now I am on the defensive or lying low with my fandom. That’s happening somewhat now with Taylor Swift. She’s the biggest star in the world but the backlash has begun. “Mom pop”?

For someone who has a dog, I sure was cat-obsessed last month. Check out my cover of "A Cat Is a Cat" from Calico, composed by @slide20xx.com. It's such a cozy little tune... and I even drew the background art for the video. Meow! youtu.be/SoC9HiYnHdA

Not done with sharks by a long shot, but here, have a palate cleanser: a cheerful prismatic #junimo to counteract the gloom. #StardewValley is my favorite comfort game. Been playing a lot of it again this year; I wonder why…

To be clear, I was definitely *not* joking about the sharks.

JFC—the updated headline isn't exactly an improvement, either. And contrary to popular belief, it is not actually necessary to give a platform to every asshole opinion under the guise of balanced reporting. Do better.

So… what platforms are people using to share #art these days? I’ve really been enjoying #drawing again, and I’d like to keep it going without constantly spamming a Bsky audience that mostly followed me for music and/or fiber arts stuff rather than silly little drawings. Is Tumblr still a thing?

Today, I am playing the game “Is it perimenopause, or am I just fucking tired of everyone’s bullshit.”

I had plans to be productive this afternoon, but my body is giving me very clear signals that I need to sit on my ass, so I’m calling an audible on today—this entire week off, really—and will continue sitting on my ass. After all, this drawing isn’t going to draw itself.

Even our little town had a good turnout this morning (genuinely brought tears to my eyes), but *this* is my fucking city. ❤️❤️❤️

I made this for the first No Kings rally
So now is a good a time as any to post it again.
If you're in America, show up to make a statement.

I have so much recording I’m supposed to be doing, but last weekend I was an emotional wreck and couldn’t sing without crying, and this weekend I apparently have vertigo? Wtf. Day 2 of dizziness and perma-nausea, and I am so over it. Halp.

I’m trying this one! It’s not too intimidating, which is exactly what I need. 😅 Two days done so far, and I’m reasonably happy with what I’ve done—but I’m going to post my drawings weekly. In the meantime, I wanted to share this, both to keep myself honest and in case anyone else wants to join.
I have created an easy #artchallenge prompt list that is suitable for total beginners!
I chose simple fall and Halloween objects. You are challenged to draw one each day in any medium you'd like!
Hopefully the hashtag #easyautumn will work! 🎃

I don’t know of any better demonstration of just how deeply out of it I’ve been recently than the fact that I am just now, in September, clearing holiday cards off the shelves. Clearly I am doing great at keeping up with everything. (PS. One of the cards was actually from August 2024. 💀)

Amazon over here in my e-mails hinting that they don’t like the age of my Kindle by offering me a discount on a new one, under the guise of it being my “Kindle Anniversary” (really). Um, no thanks, Bezos. Wanna gift me a Kobo instead? 😂

I'm not a real data analyst—just kinda trying to weasel my way into it as part of my existing role—so for all I know, this is just what the job looks like half the time. But it both cracks me up and kills me when I get a question that can only be answered by running searches on my company's website.
