Days like today are so difficult. It's perfect weather for a nice long walk on the state trail. Mocha would've been ecstatic.

I was the annoying student who read all of Megg’s History of Graphic Design. And took notes. And then spent office hours with my art professors asking endless questions about the history of graphic design. And took extra Art History classes because I just wanted to KNOW

This is my tentative prompt list for October. I decided that after all these years, I wanted more of a content guide than a single word. I'm hoping this will flex a different brain muscle to create some compelling illustrations.

I just want someone to sit and watch amazing dance routines with me as we make commentary about how wild some of those movements are and then try to awkwardly attempt some of them until we laugh and agree that they're all masters of their craft.

It’s a weird world we live in. I have friends and family who are seeing the fruits of their labor rewarded. I see acquaintances succeeding. It makes me so happy for them. Like I’m trying to siphon some of their spilled over joy to keep me going. And I see just as many struggling.

It’s September and I plan to do a sale for this month on my artwork. Money will go into the puppy fund to raise the costs of getting a new pup. I’ve never done a sale before. Do I just like… put out a code, and do an extra % off for people who subscribe? I’m not sure what is proper sale etiquette

I tried to take another walk yesterday and ran into someone offering condolences. I forgot to tell the groomers about Mocha, and they just called. I promise I'm really trying y'all. But it feels like everything is getting harder, and I don't know what to do anymore.

Jes Deprez @thejes.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Thanks for people popping into stream today. It tired me way more than I thought. I used to extra cuddle mocha after a stream, even if it was for 10 minutes before I had to go somewhere. So I’m trying to be really kind to myself right now. Super missing that fluffybutt

Jes Deprez @thejes.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

I've been looking for a new pup... I'm terrified to go through a rescue again because of what happened to Mocha. And I went through some heartwrenching "no"s (on my part) this weekend I want a Pom, and a healthy one. But AKC Standards encourage hobby breeders to breed in the 5lb range. I want larger

I had the wildest scammer calling my business yesterday. In the print industry, one of the wildest scammers is scammers posing as 'digitizing services' for embroidery, patches, etc. And you can tell pretty quickly what's happening. I say we aren't interested and hang up.

Jes Deprez @thejes.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

I keep running into people who offer their condolences for Mocha, or ask what happened. And every time, it means I play out that awful 30 minutes in my head over and over. I think the longest break I've had is 2 days. And I know people mean well. And people care, but it's so tiring...

I had a really rough morning missing Mocha. So I went to a cafe I don’t usually frequent to get food (no spoons to cook) and ran into another person offering condolences for Mocha. And like… I just… 🫥

020

Jes Deprez @thejes.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

The hard part right now is that it’s like part of me feels like Mocha will be coming back at any moment. Like she’s just been at daycare for a super long time, and I just need to pick her up. And once in a while the realization kicks in and it’s like a black hole is sucking me into nothing.

Things were going better. But now I’ve had nightmares of losing Mocha 4 days in a row and I feel so raw and exhausted.

Walking last night, I came across a couple on their stoop with their papillon. The pup rushed at me, wanting attention. I asked if I could pet their pup, and they said yes. While petting him she goes "Where is your pup? You've got the little brown one that makes you walk fast, right?"

I got really sad because I was trying to go through and add any Mocha videos or pictures to a specific collection on my iPhone. And I only had 1100 videos and/or pictures Only to discover that it stopped adding anything after October 2024? So now I just feel sad and old

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

I've been walking in the morning each day. Like I would if Mocha were still here. I imagine her walking with me, no longer stuck to a leash. Running around super excited to sniff everyone's flowers (and maybe chomp them). Running up, kissing my leg, and then doing a 'watch me, mom!' sorta action.

Mocha never did anything half hearted. She was all in, all the time. Be it a walk, playing, eating, or sleeping. She was always at a MAX And now I wonder if she was bc somehow she knew how short her life was gonna be and she was gonna LIVE it.
