Things I've never done before: gone out wearing anything but a full-length shirt
What I did this weekend: went out in just my binder and these overalls, and felt CUTE. Heaviest I've ever been, rolls, cellulite, flabby arms on display, carrying myself like I'm cute and urging you all to do the same

Okay. I need help. It's driving me absolutely crazy and the "what is this thing" facebook group hasn't helped so far. I know for sure that I have seen art JUST like this (or perhaps this exact art) on an album cover and cannot for the life of me think what album it would be. >

Once again, very psyched for everyone seeing the Northern Lights. Also very normal-jealous.

My hot take is that the ADA seating should always be right in the front of any venue (I don't think that's that hot of a take, honestly)

Are self-recs okay? Because I love this one a lot. It's plotty but fluffy, happy ending, and it has magic (both, like, Vegas-style and also 👀 maybe real). It's also been podficced by @kninjaknitter.bsky.social!

Thanks, facebook, for reminding me that I've improved at digital art (there's 17 years between these WIP sketches, but 😅 also HUNDREDS of portraits in between. Practice is good and all of that)

Just finished the Tithenai Chronicles by @fozmeadows.bsky.social and good lord. If you haven't read this series then what are you even doing? Just the epitome of queer empowerment in every possible way. The worldbuilding is gorgeous, I fell in LOVE with the characters and their relationships. >

It's been nine years since he said this and I still think about it all the time. Because it's true. And it's been tested over and over again. They just... could not be forced to care. About anything.

Calypso's Birthday? It feels like a great time to re-share this little ficlet about belonging to something and really being seen, maybe for the first time.

Apropos of nothing at all, but I've met some of my very best friends through fandom, built a career because of fandom, have spoken on many a comic con panel because of fandom... I could go on. Anyway. I'm glad to be able to enjoy my very cool grownup hobbies and career that all center around fandom.

Tried to do one of those color wheel things for my OFMD art. What I'm seeing is I need more purple and yellow in my art 👀 Also I love being able to see where my digital art has improved after drawing these fools over and over again during the last several years.

I'm so enjoying everyone's "you from a different era" posts and I would love to participate; however, I fear that me from 30 years ago is completely indistinguishable from me five minutes ago.
