Welcome. I'm a book cover artist, originally from the US and now living permanently in the UK. I mostly post about art, gaming and books, with a side of kdramas and kpop. 🏳️🌈
Our part of town has been pretty quiet (aside from one almighty boom last night, lord knows what they actually set off). Even the neighbours behind our place who normally have a party with a ton of fireworks were quiet. That was a huge relief because they've hit our house in past years. :/

Gee whiz you guys, I'm starting to think chortlingly uploading AI slop of you literally dumping planeloads of shit on the American populace to the resounding silence of your party and supporters might be a bad move!

The billionaires can buy the newspapers and buy social media and buy attack ads, but they can't buy their way out of how much we fucking hate all of them.

We have two black cats and this year I bought bat wings for them. I was really excited to take some adorable pictures, but the one cat whom we managed to actually get the wings on sat there so miserably that we didn't bother. She wouldn't look at me for the rest of the night. Sigh...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you have friends struggling through the shutdown, consider inviting them over for a family dinner this week. Make too much. Insist they take leftovers home. Some folks can't say they need help out loud but will appreciate the kindness.

The worst version of myself from high school? Ugh, but I suppose that tracks. Still the overachiever with good grades and friends, all bright and shiny but secretly self-harming like mad while pretending that everything is fine. I hate that girl.
"it turns everyone into the worst version of themselves from high school"is still the most accurate social media theory of all time
AAA video games should cost $100 on launch. this would still be extremely cheap for the amount of time and enjoyment you get out of them! But an audience of whiny babies has kept them literally at the same price for *two decades* despite both general inflation *and* sector-specific costs rising

Day what, a bajillion and seven? of feeling really unwell, but not obviously unwell enough that I could convince a GP to care about it. Months, anyway. Really fatigued and lowkey nauseous, headaches, etc. I'm sick of it, but not yet willing to try to get an appointment only to be told the usual.

Such sad news this morning. I loved this book.
Baek Sehee, the author of I WANT TO DIE BUT I WANT TO EAT TTEOKBOKKI has passed away. She was 35.
The Korean organ donation authority reports that Sehee saved five lives through her donation of her heart, lungs, liver, and both kidneys.

This is true. I actually met my British husband in the States, where we got married. As a graphic designer he really struggled to get any hope of a legal status there, and eventually we moved to the UK where we've remained ever since.
my in-laws were genuinely shocked that I, an English person, could not simply come and work in the United States at will.
Believe it or not, this is only the second most naive and clueless thing I've been told about the immigration system. Number one belongs to my own mother, who was so insulated by my dad that she actually asked me "can't I just bring a relative from Brazil to help me care for the house?"

I'm tired. Just really tired about everything, everywhere being so shitty and cruel. I really liked it here, my little feed of book people and artists and gamers, a block for the occasional bad actor. Signs are that things will change, however, and I am just so fucking tired.
You could try a poster’s strike. I hear that works

Yesterday I started watching Bon Appétit, Your Majesty and I love it (aside from having a slight quibble re the Friesian horse, but hey - they always look majestic, I admit). I do love time travel/portal stuff, but it is the actual cooking segments that are really fascinating. The chemistry of food.

Our in-laws gave us two huge bags of sloes so we made two bottles of sloe vodka (neither of us like gin) and I have a bunch left over. I was thinking about trying to make a sweet fruit bread experiment with them tomorrow? Not sure if it would work, but I don't have it in me to make jam or anything.
