An image of myself holding two large paintings of our dogs. The painting on the left is of our orange and white Brittany Spaniel, and the painting on the right is of our black Formosan Mountain Dog mix.

I need an irl material graph so my paint jobs can look like this gah damn

Front view. I love how easy it is to make material graphs in Blender and layer occlusion nodes not only for the crevices but also for edge highlighting.

This is incredibly painful for me. I have never asked for help like this before. But I have had people reach out to me asking if they can help, so I am sharing my story and finally asking for help.

I've been lucky to have a lovely group of followers here, please share if you can, anything helps <3

Shout out to my Lyft driver blasting 'make total destroy' by periphery when he pulled up- 6/5 stars even though he changed it when I got in and had to ask him to put it back on

Easing back into programming after getting sucked into my day job is all fun and games until I'm up at 2am thinking of optimizations for a from-scratch data structure that I frankly don't even have cause to optimize (yet)

Many folks are reaching out asking how they can support me so here are the best ways of doing that

Links to charities & non-profits I support:

@aclu.org
@trevorproject.bsky.social
@geekgirlcon.bsky.social
queertheland.org
Best ways to support me -Read & share my story -If you work at SP reach out to Brian, Jason, or anyone in leadership that you feel comfortable talking to. Let them know how you feel. Ask them what steps they are taking to protect employees. -If you work at SIE reach out to anyone in management and let them know how you feel. Ask in company wide town hall what steps they are taking to prevent harassment. -Support unionization efforts and whisper networks -If you want to just throw money at something here are charities & non-profits who can use support.

Thank you so much to everyone for the support, it means the world to me ❤️

There are so many amazing devs out of a job right now, and I want to take this opportunity to invite you to post your portfolio in the comments if you are looking for work! I hope my reach can help even just one person.

I am SO beyond excited to announce:
My next adventure will be at Sunset Visitor, the studio behind the amazing 1000xRESIST!
I can't wait to get started and see what we can cook up together ❤️✨
An image I created to announce that I am joining Sunset Visitor. At the top of the image is the logo for the studio, it has a character in profile wearing a space helmet in a purple, pink, teal color scheme. The name of the studio appears next to the logo. The background of the image is a low opacity version of the cover art for the studio's game "1000xResist". In the foreground middle of the image, there is a stylized drawing of myself and my two dogs. The drawing of myself is a picrew called "Toon me!" by Hello!Sunnycore (I was too lazy to draw myself) and the doodle of my dogs was done by me.

If I had a dollar for every time I've dropped sauce on the ground, I'd have 2 dollars. Which isn't a lot, but it's a shame it's happened twice.
