And now that I have another job I have to, like, find coverage and reschedule clients and it's extra miserable. Idk if I'll even be back for my classes Monday.

I have no voice right now and I need to be able to talk for an hour straight.

Just having my own pity party.

I am siiiiick. It's only the second time since 2020 and last time was covid. Not going to cons helped a lot, lol, con crud is real.

I'm annoyed. I am a big baby who is miserable. I feel like since I'm not used to getting sick anymore, I have 0 tolerance for it. Everything feels worse.

It's autism awareness day I guess. 🤷‍♀️ 😂

It's National puppy day so please enjoy baby Orion and baby Perseus

reshare for alt text, republicans and rich people who want to privatize mail have been lying about the USPS and trying to push this narrative longer than I've been alive, and imposing massive financial burdens on it to make it "insolvent"

I call it the unseasoned chicken thigh cut. All the rage these days

He was cut by the shaving, not bad, but enough to leave lines of blood on his skin. And he has 3 spots of razer burn. So on top of everything else now he is uncomfortable af. And the bump that they stopped surgery for looks like a small mole and I can't even find other ones. Not horrible allergies

My poor man needs a hip replacement. I'm not okay. I think it's the right choice, but it's an awful decision to make.

He is a service dog, class demo dog, neutral dog for testing, play consulting, reactive desensitizing, etc

Both our lives will be changed for months and it will be so hard on him 😭

One time I got a weird look at IKEA for buying an entire bug bag full of lint roller refills, but minky is awful, those are the best, and the closest IKEA is 2hrs away so I gotta stock up 😂😂

A pink capybara figure who is sitting with their eyes closed and a calm expression on their face. They have a large red heart on top of their head as well as smaller red and white hearts along their back.

If you are still looking for a Valentine's gift, I have some items in the shop that would be perfect. I just put up a few extra crows and pigeons as well as capybaras and sakura bonsais.

Jerry has arrived to give you some roses (he's full of the love you want after all!)🌹

This is exactly how my mom introduced this pillow to me and she needs everyone to know how funny she is.

Here's what my mom made to donate

Period.

This bat will be going to @A Pleasant Dog 's craft night fundraiser to benefit the GR Rapid Response Team and Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee. (Highly recommend checking the event out if you're in West Michigan)

He's smart, but he chooses to use it entirely for chaos

A rainbow quilt pillow case sits to the left, on the right the words FUCK ICE are cut from colorful fabric

This is what my mom is working on so basically I have the best mom

I've been watching what's happening in Minneapolis and I don't know what to say. Two American citizens killed by ICE in three weeks. Countless more who are not citizens. People afraid to leave their homes.

For those of us not living in Minnesota, are some things we can actually do:

Yeah, but I'm willing to actually use my embroidery machine for this one 😂 (even though I hate it)

I wish I had time to make a bat and one wing says fuck and the other one says ice

It's a very weird feeling to not know if I will get a puppy because getting a puppy requires so much prep, but you don't want to go out and get a bunch of stuff if you might not get a puppy

I'm very secretly maybe getting a puppy. I will know when evaluations are done if I'm matches with one. I'm cautiously excited.

Very important message from Orion

Dog training is not just playing with puppies all day.

Except sometimes it is 😂😂

(For real, though, 90% of my job is teaching owners how to teach their dogs, I rarely interact with the dogs themselves except during puppy camp which is training and socializing without owners present)

People just don't want to pay for things, especially digital files they see as free and don't consider (or care about) the harm it does. Sometimes they also try to sell it and claim it as theirs so they just want money with no work. And some I think like the attention they get for sharing it.

Gas stations out here putting my car behind a paywall 😂😂

Yes, and art in general. They want want want, but never want to pay the people who create it.

Yeah it's $9 and minimum wage in my state is $13.73. It's less than an hour of work and it's still "too much". And I get not having any extra spending money (same lol), but you're right there's so many free patterns. This one design isn't the only one out there.

It's such an odd mentality. Like... You want it, but you don't want to pay for it and you dot want to take the time to learn to do it yourself? Uhhh. K.

Nothing like coming home from working your second job (since your art is no longer able to pay the bills) to find someone illegally sharing your bat pattern and justifying it by saying not everyone can afford it.

Again.

And now you need to take time away from working to get it removed.
