Maybe this makes me curmudgeonly. But it is the biggest negative we consider when trying to decide if the experience of seeing the film in what *should* be a somewhat immersive experience is worth it, and it’s a solid *at least* 50/50 shot on whether we end up with a loud audience or not.
To be clear, I don’t expect total silence. I know there will be people shifting in their seats, popcorn crunching, etc. but the talking and loud alert sounds and bright phone screen lights are a disruptive choice that fellow moviegoers are choosing to inflict on the rest of us.
Went to a movie theater to see “Project Hail Mary” (which was fun!) and was reminded *yet again* why I rarely see movies in theaters anymore. Is it really that hard to silence your phone and your mouths while in this shared space? 🙄

I have a story that is a stretch goal in this anthology! Take a look!
Ooh, that itch to be outside as much as possible when it’s been a long winter and the day is as beautiful as today is! I’ve been on so many walks today 😊
A black and white illustration with the text, "A world without trans people has never existed, and never will." The quote has stars around it and is framed by a scalloped border that is surrounded by mirrored whimsical intertwining flowers and butterflies
a world without trans people has never existed, and never will 🫶✨
I just really love writing stories and talking about writing stories and hanging around with people that write stories. It’s the best.
Coming home from California to 70+ degree weather on Monday to preparing for a winter storm two days later is just one of the many things I both *love* and am constantly incredulous about during a Minnesota spring 😊
Happy Trans Day of Visibility 🖤
Things suck really bad right now but I'm glad you're still here.

It’s day 2 of #WonderCon (table E53 in AA) and I brought more original charcoal drawings this year, including these cats getting in on the super fun bracelet trading that @sdccblog.com started at SDCC!
Hope you’re all getting to embrace a little of that con magic today!
We’ve moved! Instead of row F, we can be found at Artist Alley booth E53.
#WonderCon adventurers, I have returned for the third year but in a new location! We’ve scooted back just a hair from row F into E53 in Artist Alley this weekend. I have just a couple new mini originals, lots of new pins and prints, and so much more. Can’t wait to see you!
Nothing shines a spotlight on just how much you’ve created over the course of a year quite like trying to pack to fly to a convention lol 😆

Our (almost) 15yo cat, Figaro, has been going through a bit of a journey this year! In February he started shots for arthritis. Today he was diagnosed with glaucoma.
Lots of changes as we head into supporting his super senior stage of life but I’m so grateful to be on this journey with him! ❤️❤️
At #Marscon this weekend and got this pretty shiny ribbon! We’re starting off with a bang! 🥰
Just a few more hours to go!
Just binged all of Stargate for the first time last year and it makes me unreasonably giddy that I recognized it from *this* screenshot 😅
Series 2 of Con Adventures hard enamel pin series. Each pin is 1.5" tall and feature an activity that happens at a con. These ones, in alphabetical order, read "Charge" (featuring a dragon holding a bunch of electronics and cords while facing a full electric outlet), "Delight" (featuring dragon and cat surrounded by badge ribbons and little ducky trinkets), "Play" (featuring a cat and dragon standing on/next to a pile of board games, a computer mouse, and holding a gaming console controler), "Relax" (featuring a sunglass-wearing cat resting on a dragon-shaped pool floatie while in the pool), "Snack" (featuring a cat reaching up to grab some pizza, with a pile of chips, granola bars, apples, and bananas behind her), and "Transform" (featuring a dragon gluing a feather to a top hat, sewing machine in the background).
Freebies and extras from the Con Adventurers campaign! "Caffeinate" (featuring a cat about to pounce on a pile of coffee, tea, and energy drinks) was a freebie for early bird backers but is also available in the add-on store for anyone. "Make New Friends" (featuring a cat, dragon, and corgi posing for the camera) is only currently available to folks who back both my project and my cross-collab partner's project, Piles of Plush. The three mini pins - backpack, camera, and convention badge - come in a set of three and are roughly 0.75" tall.
We're in the final 24 hours, Adventurers! Con Adventurers 2 is a continued celebration of the community and fandom that comes together at conventions. This #Pintopia campaign ends at 1PM PT tomorrow (Feb 12) and ALL of the pins are unlocked!

🤞Here's hoping :) Poor little guy has been getting extra treats and snuggles all day and is so loved, hopefully he'll be happily storming after his favorite toys again soon :)
Figaro, a tuxedo cat, curled up on his side, sleeping.
My oldest cat, Figaro, had a rough day today that resulted in a severe arthritis diagnosis, trying a new arthritis shot, and a day of wobbley wobbles from meds. But now my little old man is fast asleep in his favorite spot (my lap) and that still makes the day about perfect for me 💙💙
Also, “Relax” has been unlocked since this post was originally made. Only 2 pins and roughly $550 to go to have the whole main set unlocked!
