I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

I'll keep reposting this (from 2023) because it's always a big mood for me at the start of Fall. 🥲🍂

Illustrated comic of a cute white bunny character in a yellow sweater. First panel: bunny is thoughtfully looking up at an orange leaf falling. Second: bunny is bending over to pick up the leaf from the ground. Third: bunny is holding up the leaf towards a tree and saying “Here, you dropped this.”

Been struggling hard to breathe for well over a week now thanks to being severely sick and Fall isn’t even in full swing yet. I’m not looking forward to how the rest of this year into winter will play out for my immune system AT ALL.

"but art should be accessible" it is, you can learn to draw, paint, collage, sculpt, make pixels. right now, starting today. art has never been more accessible monetarily nor physically than it is now in this age. access to artist labor and machine production is not an accessibility issue.

Said this on the other app but we rly need to normalize that growing up = becoming a person with the money to afford childhood interests. The idea that you have to suddenly stop caring about cute or joyful things when you turn 18 is the reason so many ppl are so fucking miserable for 60 years after

Today has been the worst of days 😞😞 finally made time to paint only to find out some of my watercolor paper has gone “bad” (it’s doing w weird pilling thing), and two colors in a palette molded (wtf? First time in 20 years). Reminder to use your supplies and find joy in them and not put it off!

Jay // Work Account @jaybendt.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

A large part of me is glad i dropped $2k on supplies in Dec when i saw the supply chain/inbounds shitshow on the horizon, given majority of what I use would have dome out of France, Italy, & Japan. Doing so now would cost an arm an a leg (on top of the cost) w/this new policy going into effect.

To put it bluntly, this is a fucking disaster. For consumers, for small businesses and artists, for everybody. The US is cutting ourselves off from the rest of the world and for what?? Even if this gets sorted out or walked back, it’s going to cause a major disruption.

Finally in one place! My “collection” is a mix of very expensive (to me) and very affordable (mostly jinhao’s) fountain pens. I love keeping the jinhaos in my bag and at work, since I wouldn’t feel so bad if I lost them, so they are the majority of this hoard lol finally got a case!

The thing with grown up money is that I am still prepubescently irresponsible with it when it comes to stationery. Just dropped nearly $200 on pretty washi tape from the washi station and stocked up on some @britterson.bsky.social favorites!

Art block busting brain hack that I found out works wonderfully for me: Draw a face. That’s all. Just draw a face. somehow my hand/brain connection flips the switch and I start filling in the rest. Suddenly I have whole pieces drafted instead of despairing that “i don’t know what to draw”!

One thing that doing creative work teaches you is that ideas are worth nothing. Anybody can have an idea. In a writers room you have to come up with a hundred ideas a day, and most of those don’t make the page. It’s the work of making something that gives it value. The patina of humanity.

sorry to get political, but if they wanted to protect kids, they would feed them. they would invest in their education. they would build more parks, more programs, and invest in their future. if they wanted to protect kids, they would build a world meant for them.

A lot of people forget that the REAL point of social media is to be social. A lot people are supporting creators and artists out of the kindness of their hearts or legitimate interest. Not a fancy sales pitch.
