Kiddo said “u should do #Inktober” she said this like an hour after I bought this tiny adorable 5” square sketchbook and I figure the universe demands it. I give Inktober like three days before I forget it exists

A little 5 x 5” sketchbook with an inked sketch of an apple. It has a long stem with a little twig and a few leaves.

Google Maps updated their satellite imagery. It shows what Gaza looks like now. Apple has not updated theirs. At this moment you can see what Gaza looked liked three years ago vs today. Put your politics and religions in a box and just see what has happened. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

all hobbies should have compost. you turned your wooden bowl poorly? flopped your mug? sewed your wallet crooked? painted your mini sloppy? put it all in the yard under a tarp and throw eggshells and coffee grounds in there. next year will be amazing

People drove six hours. People flew in. For every friend in attendance, I could name three friends who couldn’t be there. I hope you all have a Carole. I hope you all can *be* a Carole. I didn’t quite finish her portrait so that’s my goal this week. I put it in a frame and brought it anyways 💜

One of Carole’s family members was surprised at the number of friends in attendance. I was like “you have NO idea” She wasn’t the cool kid. She wasn’t the popular kid. Thats high school shit. She was the kind, reliable, joyful friend that people naturally gravitate to.

God this is the most fucking depressing pair of calendar entries I have ever seen Wake was lovely. I got to see people I haven’t seen in ages, which reminded me that I need to pay more attention to distant friends.

iOS calendar entries.
Entry one: Carole’s Wake
Entry two: Carole’s Birthday

(They postponed the memorial so they could do it on her birthday. She would have been 47)

haha I have a slightly different goal

Photo: a pad of Pastelmat pastel paper and a can of of Krylon UV Archival matte varnish

(The paper was $50 for 12 sheets and and the spray was $25. Food budgets are overrated)

Carole wants her portrait perfect just as much as me, I swear to god And yes, I purchased both the remaining cans because THE PRECIOUS

Mark The Employee Who Also Happens To Work In Colored Pencil and PanPastel was like “hang on” and then magic happened

Two cans of Brush and Pencil’s Advanced Colored Pencil Texture fixative, with both big orange clearance stickers pricing them at $8

I am not sharing, sorry not sorry

The spray was entirely gone from the site and didn’t remember if they’d ever carried this product in-store, so I was just going to have to endure a lifetime of disappointment. But I went to Blick today anyways, on a whim, and I decided maybe Carole gave the universe a nudge

maybe still jurijuri @hellonerds.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Looked online to see if I could go buy another at Blick, but Very Niche Art Supplies are regularly Very Discontinued Art Supplies 😭😭😭 I was like “I was supposed to be in bed three hours ago, I will restart this with a new approach in the morning”

Update: started my Carole portrait, could not find my Very Niche Art Supply Can of Colored Pencil Fixative, tried workable fixative instead, immediately discovered why someone invented Very Niche Art Supply because it ruined my work I looked all over for my can and turned up nothing

This case still freaks me out because it was when I was a little baby and the stores hit were local to us A year or two later I *did* overdose on baby Tylenol. I think I was doing it wrong (I was fine but also I am Like This so who the hell knows)

Because yes, screw the man, eat the rich, but even corporate greed is beholden to geopolitical greed

Its eye-opening to see the full chain of damages from the top: all corporations are being fucked by trade wars and blockades and inflation, which means they have to cut costs, and tl;dr I got less of a raise but I still have to buy food

It took me years to figure out that “I was fed and cared for and not bodily injured” is not the same as “I was not abused or neglected”

I, Julie, an Internet rando, hereby absolve you of any guilt over the asshole who assaulted you. Not only does he not deserve you, he in fact deserves a punch in the dick.

just changed my display name to “maybe still jurijuri,” because I am realizing that for all that I hated who I became under that name, so many people I love call me Juri on the regular IRL and that’s precious to me. Me-as-jurijuri is/was so much more than some bullshit drama

My parents are staring down the fact that the only person who will take care of them is my deeply unpleasant brother, who they allowed to abuse me. Karma is my bestie

My mom has that “your parents raised you and therefore you owe them” mindset, which is great and all until you point out that the child had no choice in the matter Parents reap what they sow

I love that we just posted the same thing to each other 😂 One of the hardest pills I swallowed in therapy was accepting the fact that I would never have my parents be the ones I wanted because they don’t exist.

Also: cutting off family is almost as traumatic as keeping them around, and I am sending you all my love 💜

Have you seen content re: estranged parent forums? The cognitive dissonance from them could power a whole city. My parents are lucky I have one last ounce of love, because I remain one Facebook post away from airing them out to our entire extended family

If you're an artist looking for some tools. Here's a list of all the tools I created over the years that run in your browser. Play around with color palettes, create 3d mockups for reference, pose figure for reference, create bushtip textures etc. artbuddy.urlich.ch

She’s making it pretty easy because when I Facebook-posted about losing Carole her only response was a comment saying “so sorry,” despite knowing full well how important she was to me. cool cool cool

My mom is horrified whenever someone in my extended family cuts off their parents. She thinks it’s a cardinal sin. Or so she keeps reminding me, probably because I’ve cut them off before. Of course, she’s not telling me that right now because I went back to low-contact lol

Ok so I enjoy your writing and I have been to a couple signings, but I am entirely okay with my ebook copy of OMW remaining unsigned (I’m joking, but I also had Ben Folds autograph my iPod because I had no CDs with me. So nothing’s really off the table)

Polypharmacy + ADHD means sometimes I forget a refill and feel like shit for an entire month before I realize I accidentally went cold turkey off Wellbutrin I have a system, but like all ADHD systems, it works great right up until it doesn’t. 😭
