I caught my dog trying to eat a big bumblebee. Luckily, she didn’t get stung! 🐝

@Tim_Eagon my parents dog LOVES eating bees! Especially wasps. She's an otherwise clever dog... 🤪

The life of an self-employed artist enduring late stage capitalism is such a weird thing to process

You're always ✨on✨ and, with each apps flying circus of algorithmic hoops to jump through, it feels like you're investing more and more energy for dwindling returns

I don't mean sales, though paying the bills is great and all

I've always been the friend who Listens and engages occasionally but authentically, and I remember an internet where that was valued

Today's Internet is just...noise.

PrintInkling OP , 3 months ago

That noise erodes the psyche as water shifts the soil

slowly reshaping
quite possibly permanently altering
often destroying

And feeling as though I'm a part of that
by means of necessity in order to survive
is a very strange thing to process and try to live with.

I am grateful for this life and chance
But
To spend your time making noise
when all you want from this life is to contribute
enhance
bring bits of joy into this life for others

is akin to swallowing shards of glass

and EVERY artist, maker, creative you know is going through this.

You may feel it yourself.

We're turning the most connected era of human existence into the loneliest one.

it doesn't have to be this way.

There are humans behind these screens.
Be charitable in your perceptions
Show grace in your assumptions and reactions

and for fuck's sake

be kind. <3

@SJohnRoss I'm not ignoring this comment, just taking time to consider the depth of what you're feeling and experiencing. You're certainly not alone in it.

Accidentally left my completely shut down drawing monitor on the charger last night, on my desk.

Woke up to it overheating
uncomfortably warm to touch
screen on
touch sensors tripping

Windows had attempted to update -- though, again, I specifically told it not to do so) and the fans never kicked on.

It seems fine, but goddamn it.

Now I'm worried it'll randomly decide to do that, entirely turned off (had been shut down for HOURS) when stored in it's case.

Breaking the chill with a cup of tea this slow Sunday morning.

The world is so loud lately.
There's a lot of anger, hurt, and noise.

We miss hearing from YOU.

If you have a moment
sit with us
have a quiet cuppa

Tell us something good in your world?
