i thiiiink “nah-NUH” might be my baby’s attempt to say “lemon” (our dog) whereas “AH-nuh” is “all done!” maybe.

imagine if a healthcare company was mass texting folks to take blood pressure medication or insulin without any knowledge of those people’s health status. this is bizarre. and creepy.

i need the glp1 epidemic to be over. i don’t care what other people decide to do, but it’s supremely fucked that everything in the world is screaming at us to be skinny all the time. can i just live, please?? having a body is hard enough without getting this aggressively marketed to.

Hey, I just wanted to check in and see if you were okay. I just noticed that you really look like shit, I mean you look absolutely terrible. I wasn’t even sure you were alive until you moved, and even then it was debatable for a few seconds. I have never seen someone look worse.

in addition to the new series they wanna advertise, this year is also the 25th anniversary of the first movie which might also merit a marketing push.

oh jeez, luckily no climbing out of the crib yet! i don’t think he’s tall enough to even attempt it yet, but if we need to drop the mattress height one more notch, i’m afraid i won’t be able to get him in and out easily anymore lol.

in other baby news, he’s finally picking up on the safe way of getting down from a bed which i introduced a couple months ago! needs to modulate his speed better, but he’s starting to understand that feet need to go over the edge first.

yeah, like not to be a stereotype but i’m a little obsessed with my baby which is probably a really good side effect of evolution but i’m afraid will make me very boring to anyone that hasn’t experienced it. 🙃 anyway, i like hearing other’s kid stories!! kids are hilarious and cool!

and he’s starting to get a handle on crawling and starting to pull to stand and finally decided he likes finger foods but not so much the part where you chew and swallow fully before you put more food in. there’s a lot going on in that little body. :(

i mostly don’t care about people misgendering my baby because he certainly doesn’t care, but for some reason he gets she’d more than he’d, even when wearing stereotypical “boy” clothes. he’s just a pretty baby. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

they’re afraid of their brand being associated with anything “adult;” they should know that being associated with bigotry and censorship is way worse for their brands.

they want to censor people over a size 14…? this level of puritanical nonsense and outright bigotry is so despicable. these advertisers shouldn’t get to wield this power anonymously. ironically, idk how else to get through to these types except with a good ol’ fashioned public shaming.

My aunt passed away earlier this year, and for a while it broke me. She always enthusiastically supported my art, from when I was a child to this year, she always insisted on buying art from me. She commissioned this Zelda art when I was 12, and she had kept it all that time.

2. caption: "it wasn't long before she showed up…" a drawing of me opening a door to a small baby carrying a bundle and stick. i am saying "uh..."
3. caption: "and started wreaking havoc". A few drawings of the baby making a mess and running around butt naked while I look on saying "make yourself at home..?"a loosely drawn comic page with three groupings ("panels") of drawings. 
1. caption: "but we enjoy a lot of the same things." a drawing of me and a baby looking at a little spider excitedly.
2. caption: "and she thinks my job is cool!". Drawing of the baby looking over my shoulder as I work at my desk
3. caption: "so cool, in fact, that sometimes she locks me out". The drawing now shows the baby at my desk wearing my headphones on a voice call while I'm pounding at the door yelling "she can't even fucking draw" muffled behind the glass of the windowa loosely drawn comic page with three groupings ("panels") of drawings. 
1. caption: "I know why she's here. It's not her fault." a drawing of a small baby curled up asleep
2. caption: "it'll take some time for us to catch up". A drawing of me and the baby looking at a photo album
3. caption: "and forgive." no drawing.a loosely drawn comic page with one drawing at the bottom.
1. caption: "i'm looking forward to traveling together." a drawing of me and the baby walking hand and hand. There is a snake on the ground and we are both looking at it in delight

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

These things "work" by hoovering up your data. Your messages? Your emails and documents? Every click and mouse move you make? (Ever clicked yes to the "Enable telemetry" option?) You are two things to them: a source of data for their data soup, and a customer to sell it all back to.

i was just wondering the other day if my baby has ever seen the moon. it features in so many of his books, but i don’t think he’s ever out and awake when the real thing’s visible.

My daughter only recently started becoming truly aware of her surroundings. Now that the days are getting shorter, I realize that she didn’t know that it gets dark outside at night. She kept pointing to the sky and saying, “UH OH!! UH OH!!!!”

As of today, the CDC has changed (reverted) their Covid guidance to make the vaccine recommended for all people over 18. In addition to being a smart public health move, this recommendation also means insurance must cover it. Read more here: www.cdc.gov/covid/hcp/va... Listen to a breakdown here:

oh god i just noticed the shitfuckery going on with clip studio assets. it looks like maybe they got leaned on to delete nsfw poses and stuff, and it led to mass deletions of basically any kind of couple pose. even very chaste, cute, nonsexual couple poses i have in my library are all deleted

i guess my disagreement lies in how a product is defined, then. isn't it a product if it's produced for a client? if it has to be for a specific mass produced item, then maybe i'm totally off base. and i wonder how concept art fits in? sorry, i don't mean to be contrary, just that it's...fuzzy.

kelsey✨michele @toughtink.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
in short, if there's a difference to be made, maybe it's between the work meant for oneself vs the work meant to be shown to others. and by that definition, my silly doodles in the margins of notes are Art, whereas the mona lisa is merely an "illustration."
101
kelsey✨michele @toughtink.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
in essence, i don't like the argument that his definition of art, especially when commissioned by a specific client, is all that far from "commercial illustration." it's still commercial! commerce is normal because all artists have bills to pay! everyone's still playing to an audience of some sort.
131
kelsey✨michele @toughtink.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
i agree that there can be a difference, except i don't think that line is drawn where he or most art snobs think it is. they'd consider old master paintings commissioned by rich people/the church to be ART, but someone commissioned for an illustration of an OC or a book cover to...not be?
