We're in double digits now! That's right, it's our birthday and we're turning 10! We're extremely grateful for all the fun times and amazing people the game's given us over the past decade, and can't wait for another one!

Bodies are so weird. You can be almost entirely asymptomatic while simultaneously brewing up a medical emergency and not even realize it bc nothing seems to be wrong. Made for a lot of funny looks in the ER tho 🤣

You ever just have this burning desire to create something? Like it's just there thrumming beneath your skin with every pulse and you can't get it to quiet until you make something to release it? Yeah like my body and brain are so tired but I just gotta *art* y'now?

Day 17 2: Electric Boogaloo is the Genderfluid Clownfish Yes I miscounted last post >_< Genderfluid people experience a gender identity that shifts or changes over time. This fluidity gives the term its name. #pride #prideart #zentangle

There is a gofundme for her family that I've just been made aware of, sharing below As I said in my original article, I firmly believe that if the government is going to force birth, they should be required to pay for the child's medical care. It's disgusting that they don't.

Day 15: Nonbinary Butterfly Fish Specifically based this lil fella off a copperbanded butterfly fish. Nonbinary individuals identify with a gender outside of the very strict labels of "boy" or "girl". Also friendly reminder, singular they predates singular you :3c #pride #prideart #zentangle

Day 14: Aroace Ocean Sunfish Some aroace (aromantic asexual) people prefer to use green and purple, but others like to use this orange and blue one instead. This is sometimes called the sunset aroace flag due to its color scheme looking like a sunset over the sea #pride #prideart #zentangle

Day 13: Asexual Sea Dragon Ace-spec people experience little to no sexual attraction, but may experience other forms of attraction (such as platonic or romantic). This sea dragon has the main ace flag colors, but different flags for the microlabels exist too. #zentangle #pride #prideart

Disability justice is a very hard thing to advocate for Disability will happen to almost everyone, so it’s in their best interest to help But people are terrified of disability & desperate to believe they’ll be the exception So they treat us appallingly. They don’t “get it” until it’s their turn

Day 11: Agender Hermit Crab This lil fella turned out a bit more lopsided then I planned, but they're still cute! An agender person does not feel they have any gender, even a neutral one Tomorrow is either aromatic or asexual, not sure which one! #pride #prideart #zentangle

Day 9: Maverique Cockle Shell Maverique is a nonbinary identity where a person feels they have a gender, but said gender is independent from masculine, feminine, or neutral genders as well as their derivatives. #pride #prideart #zentangle

Day 7: Lesbian Turret Shell Unsure if this is a turret shell tbh cause there's a lot of narrow pointy shells that all look very similar. Colors are taken from the sunset lesbian flag. Like the gay male conch I had to simplify the colors due to not having all of them #pride #prideart #zentangle

Day 6: Gay Male Conch Shell not 100% happy with this one either but that's art ig. I simplified the color scheme for this one and for the lesbian one I'm doing tomorrow - don't have the right colors for the five stripe versions unfortunately qwq. Probs will redraw #zentangle #prideart #pride

Day 5: Transgender Moon Jelly Running a lil bit late but I'm really happy with how this one turned out :) Moon jellyfish are neat because they have very short tentacles compared to ones like lions mane jellyfish Tomorrow I think I'll swap animals #pride #prideart #zentangle #traditionalart

Day 4: Polygender Man-of-War Yes ik they're not jellyfish (they're big ol colonial organisms), but they fit with the theme. I was trying to do a trans moon jelly but it wasn't turning out well so I swapped it to tomorrow. #pride #prideart #zentangle #traditionalart

Decided for pride I'm gonna do ocean creatures. Probably is gonna primarily be flowy ones like jellyfish and seahorses cause those are going to be the easiest to make ZIAs out of. Also trying to go a bit simpler cause artfight is in a month *and I'm not ready send help qwq*

Job searching is so soul-sucking and tiring. There's so many unspoken rules that you don't learn about until super late in the process and a bunch of seeming mundane things that take so much time. Yes this post is about having to maintain a super active Linkedin page
