a senior dachshund mix stands on an exam table as two people hold him from either side. one has a stethoscope in their ears so they can listen to his heart. the pup is wearing a very dapper bandana.

boomer lays belly-up in a blue hammock while two people hold his feet. a third person is using an ultrasound wand to get a better look at his belly.

the tricolor senior dachshund mix sits on a porch with a big plastic cone around his neck. the teensiest peek of teef is showing under his top lip.

This is Boomer. He was found as a 12-year-old stray. He was desperately thirsty despite drinking water nonstop. Tests show he has a disorder called Cushing's Disease. He needs lifelong medication and ongoing care to get better. You can help him below ❤️‍🩹

You are allowed to celebrate good things that are happening today: your birthday, a book coming out, new baby, new puppy, seeing your favorite piece of art in person, etc.

Joy is the knife that stabs into the heart of despair & apathy.

Feel your joys, big & small, & share them widely & loudly.

Last time people said everyone was overreacting until they were proven right, so saying it from the get go here: protect your LGBT friends.

hey you! yes you! get some rest, take a deep breath. it's not the end of the world even if it may feel like it right now. you're not going anywhere. stop doomscrolling and remind yourself that no matter what happens you are still here. it will pass.

posting "Gentle reminder that it's okay to unplug today and take care of yourself. Pass it on." immediately before commencing a 19-hour, 277-post meltdown

I’m crushed by the results, and know many others who are and that many of you must be.

As an outsider I can’t do much, but as a creative, I’ll keep making stories to uplift voices and spirits the way only fiction can in times like these! 💖

I’ll make my game gayer than ever! 😤💪

To all my comrades in libraries: please start archiving anything you can, especially government sites.

You. Yes you. Stop scrolling. Listen to me for a second.

You're going to be okay. Tomorrow's another day and no matter what happens, the best thing you can do is keep on going.

The world is better because you're in it and don't let ANYONE tell you otherwise.

Always 💖

Don't make me tap the sign

if you're lgbt, if you're black or hispanic or muslim, if you're a woman, if you're part of any sort of marginalized group

it's the most unfair thing that you have to keep fighting

but I beg you

please be brave
please be safe
please try to survive

Stop agonizing and start drawing.

You will:
- Uncover your weaknesses (so you can then develop them)
- Learn when you make mistakes, you're safe (and can make more)
- Realize just how capable you are
- Build confidence

It is that easy. The hardest part is starting.

Good morning lovely people! How are ya :0

Parody illustration of the Michigan “I Voted” sticker, which depicts a color pencil drawing of a werewolf ripping its shirt off in front of an American flag with the words “I voted!” above it. My version features my werewolf OC ripping her shirt off in front of a dark blue backdrop with crudely drawn white stars.

I voted!! (Inspired by the Michigan voter sticker designed by Jane Hynous :)) #bleatingheart
