Kat @straussdraws.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Ramparts of Ice is so good!! Finally another school Shoujo anime that treats its characters with respect and digs into their psyche. They‘re so well written, it feels like they‘re real people. And I love the chibi-style interludes. ☃️💛 000
Kat @straussdraws.bsky.social · 30/08/2026In two weeks, I‘ll travel to extended family over the weekend with my mom. And yes, I‘m already anxious as hell over it 😭 No wonder my friends have asked me in multiple ways if I have any trauma related to travel, bc most people do this FOR FUN 000

Kat @straussdraws.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I follow lots of publishing houses for career reasons, and the state of the NA Romance genre never ceases to amaze me… just saw a „dystomance“ set AFTER WORLD WAR THREE where the 18yo heroine is the specialest soul on the planet and falls for her bodyguard. … WORLD WAR THREE 130
Kat @straussdraws.bsky.social · 14/08/2026once again at a loss on what and how to post on my main IG account. it‘s comprised of adolescent THG fans, people I have worked with and am actively working with, some friends, oddballs, and an endless amorphous sea of strangers. 010

Kat @straussdraws.bsky.social · 09/08/2026bro I seriously developed visceral trypophobia because of an AI generated street food menu yesterday… it was a „fish burger“ where the bun had a fish scale texture and salad that can only be described as pure 0% organic trypophobia. 100
Kat @straussdraws.bsky.social · 09/08/2026After months of enduring loud bass-heavy music for hours on end at random times of day, I sent a message to the house neighbor group chat. Yesterday, 11:23 PM. Problem is, idk if my neighbors are to blame, and I know that the music is only audible in my BEDROOM (must be the cheap walls). 110

Kat @straussdraws.bsky.social · 30/06/2026short vent; my extended family aren‘t huge fans of me. They are polite. But I do not belong like my cousins do. Well, I see their point though, now.
