In true artist fashion, all Jimmy sees are the "flaws" any time their art gets praised.

I know I probably won't ever be as dexterous with my left hand as my right was in its halcyon days, but I've been using it in place of my right as possible, so lefties, what are some must-haves? I already have a left handed mouse in my cart.

Since my drawing arm will probably be a little fucked up for the rest of my life, my partner Jimmy is taking a stab at inking my pencils and this was their first test. I'm so happy with it!! Everyone tell Jimmy they did a good job!!

What sucks about all the technology being evil now is that a lot of this stuff could be really useful to my life as a disabled person, but I refuse to be forced into becoming part of the problem, so I go without. Do things the hard way, sometimes the hardest ways.

My drawing wrist clicks every time I turn it and it's gonna do that for the rest of my life unless I fix it with surgery. My wrist does this after nine months of overcompensating for an injured elbow, an injury that occurred while doing PT for my back. Anybody got a spare right arm? Or entire body?

Hotter tip, create sub folders with update days, and make sure @rosalarian.bsky.social is at the top of your Monday and MWF folders.

I love doing group projects. I love that I'm too tired to work on a zine today but it's being worked on without me, which is great. I've been writer-penciler-inker-colorist-letterer all by myself for most of my career and I'm TIRED.

Sometimes I feel nostalgic for my marriage, but then my ex husband always chooses that exact moment to pop back up with new ways of disappointing me. Ugh.

So far, we have saved the movers from four boxes! Sale continues until the 30th, then I'll most likely be closed for a month.

Been trying to watch some DC movies/TV shows, but like Marvel, the extended universe is very hard to get into if you haven't been part of it since the start. Some major heroes seem to be in the universe and others are in a different one?

Part of how I know we're going to win the Butlerian Jihad is because our side encourages creative skills while theirs is about offloading them. Human civilization needs creativity or it dies, which we may find out soon, and we will still have our skills after the rest forget how to tie their shoes.

I'm winding things down at my current place as I prepare to move, so if you help me out by buying my stuff, you'll get a 40% discount on all the stuff that lives in my spare room. rosalarian.com/sale

I think one of the reasons I feel so powerful at the cheese shop is that my boss is almost a foot shorter than me. I feel like a giant at 5'8" to her 4'9.5" (and she will insist on including that half inch.)

Thanks to the sale, I have less stuff to move and a little more money to move with. Thanks to everyone who snagged something! Moving sale continues the rest of the month.

20 year old me would be terrified. The past two decades have evolved me into the sort of person I was terrified to be half my life ago. Most of my character development came after age 20. But they would be impressed we get paid to make comics and sell cheese for a living.

Something I've come to appreciate a lot about the activist organizers I've been working with is a lack of ownership of the movement. Nobody is here to gain power over others. It's not about anyone's ego. We might guide people, but we never tell them what to do. It's lovely.

I'm finally doing it. After so many years of kicking myself for not starting sooner, I have finally learned to start drawing next year's calendar in September instead of November.

If I ever feel like I'm in danger of making rich-people money, I am preemptively hiring an assassin to take me down if I ever start saying out of touch rich-people bullshit. While I would love to presume money wouldn't corrupt me, I can't count on it. Assassin takes care of it.

"I'm not complicit. I do everything that falls under the definition of complicity and I'm fine with it, but it hurts my feelings when you use negative words to describe my negative actions, and my rich people feelings trump reality."

"Caring" isn't enough. You have do actually DO something about it or it doesn't count. If you have the means to make change and you refuse, you are complicit because neutrality always upholds the status quo. Words have meanings, and this is what "complicity" means.

Fun, colorful clothing, books and comics, and original art.

Moving sale is happening through the end of the month, after which time I'll be closing up for a month and back in November. In that time, I'll also be revamping the clothing line, so if there's anything you wanted clothing-wise, get it before it's gone. rosalarian.com/shop

Sorry to break the kayfabe, but too many people didn't realize that when Mr. Rogers was telling them they're special and worthy of kindness that he was simultaneously telling everyone else in the world the same thing. That's what you were supposed to get out of it. Not that only you matter.

I'm back in physical therapy for my drawing arm. I think this guy is a good one because day one has already brought some relief has has me feeling much more optimistic about being able to draw again in the near future.

This is a real question and not just being a whiney old guy, but does anyone make programs anymore that you buy just one time? I want a word processor that is professional quality but not a subscription.

Something I've started doing with my writing process is skipping over scenes that feel too hard to write, with a note to go back to it later. Sometimes, a scene is hard because I need more information, and I need to wait until I learn it. Often, I find it by writing more book.
