Artist (highly self-conscious) | Art, books, fitness, videogames, and writing. They be calling them. I have an auto immune disease, which is whatever (life is like that y'know?). I have EDS, too. Good grief. My joints.

Short answer: Yes. A year ago, I'd be more charitable and add nuisance. I am so disappointed in myself for having ANY sympathy for such entitled c*nts (I have exhausted every ounce of goodwill). How can it be so hard to 'spot' a despot? Not very. We are trapped in a fire with the idiot arsonists.

Some digital art from late September). I need to REDO the entire project as these aren't what the client envisioned, lol. My bad (it has been a long time since completing an art project for someone).
Digital art (Procreate, iOS). 
September 22nd to 28th, 2026, cropped and edited with my Android photos/gallery settings.

It was one of three images (commissioned by a mutual friend of a dear friend; both are musicians who are looking for an artist). I am said artist. 

This image (along with the other two) wasn't used for album art— that is my fault! I have ADHD and didn't fully grasp or understand the assignment 🙃 

I am working on the album cover again— with strict instructions— which I appreciate (my RSD was pretty crushing when the client deconstructed my whole piece). Their feedback was pretty positive about my ability— nobody disliked these drawings or took offence with my odd visuals— like my dumb brain WANTS to believe (RSD). 

Rejection Sensitivity Disorder: 
Ever wonder why you feel like a fraud or an imposter? Or when you get so hyped up and motivated to do a thing someone else says (because they recognise your ability), but you FAIL it once and immediately assume everyone fucking HATES you? Yeah. RSD. 

I never KNEW IT was a REAL THING (my family/therapist from long ago told me to just "grow up.") Mate, I dropped out of university 9 years ago because of this crap! "Grow up", my ass.Yeah, I agree that this piece isn't very relatable or whimsical (well, at least not in the client's opinion). Again, I misunderstood and did something so ludicrous that my friends now (probably) think my mental health never improved on SSRIs. 

The cats. They're cute and FUN to paint.This is what 3 days of no sleep and little eating will do to a mf descending in an artistic spiral. I had fun! Screw the RSD.

The client didn't approve, and I will fix their request by doing what they said (the artwork they want is more tranquil and dreamlike). I agree. This is too wild.

OH, art. Sorry. My art is too boring to describe 🖐 

Fine. It is a squid alien lady stealing a washing machine, but her plans are foiled by two red cats. Idk! I was in a trance. September 18th 2026.

This is more of a brainstorm. 
It includes my black cat, Meows (RIP, you little void). He was put to sleep last month, and I cried like a b*tch for hours.
He was fine until he wasn't.

Maulbeere and Schnitzel (and me).
Maulbeere is doing very well living away with his bio dad and uncle. He has grown so much!Schnitzel wants the paper. 

She brings it back to me and makes a strange noise 😩🥰I am bored. 

And boring 😴 

I did a LOT of digital painting (my brain no longer works). The migraine is worth the payments for each commission— but my poor head... God, I missed this! Using the brain to DRAW IDEAS (so many don't make the cut). The client is releasing a single and wanted artwork for their song— if I do well, they'll return for more. I can't wait (hopefully, I can start working on this instead of wasting time worrying).

The Mother of British Aid Worker James Henderson who was murdered by an Israeli airstrike while delivering food in Gaza has demanded a ban of all weapon sales to Israel. His killers will never be brought to justice so this is the only justice James Henderson will ever get. Justice for Henderson.

Schnitzel wants hugs from her mommy, Moth. And maybe milk, but those days are done, little Schnitzel. Both girls had the late night/early morning zoomies.

More cats.
Schnitzel, with her custom-made Brain Whale.She was rested until a suspicion of kibble scented the room.Moth. 

She is very patient with me (I fed her afterwards, but she has changed food preferences again). It is sometimes Whisker's in jelly (Ocean Variety), Sheba Chicken Fillets in Jelly/Gravy (they come in a tiny bowl), or Gourmet Cat Perle/Pâté (Salmon and Duck are her favourite flavours). She is fussy and will change her preferences regularly. However, one thing never changes: battered cod with skin (SHE WILL STEAL IT). 

I think her breeder raised the litter on that Purina stuff— Moth absolutely hates it as an adult— she will do the 'digging' gesture and refuse to even look at the food. 

Oh, scrambled eggs (with formula for kittens instead of cow/goat milk). 
I gave Moth that when she was poorly— to get her condition back (weight). 
Most queens (if not all) lose a remarkable amount of weight nursing a litter, but she was 11 months old and had 6 kittens. The best way to handle an underweight queen nursing a large litter is foods with high amounts of protein, fat, and TASTE— warm the food up, too. Hot food smells more to a cat. 
Water is key! Helps the queen digest the food and avoids her straining in the box. 
The vet should only be involved if she is loslosing condition and becoming unwell (like Moth did). She has a swollen lip with ulcers for a few weeks— steroids fixed it in 1 week. Why did she get the ulcers? Low weight, stress, and dietary demands— 6 kittens nursing for 10 weeks was a lot. Moth is a good mom.

A VERY GOOD MOM. Maulbeere. A beautiful boy.

So, Schnitzel still tries her best to nurse from Moth. It looks silly because she is 12 weeks old, lol.
Schnitzel doesn't want to grow up and that is valid. Schnitzel is very cute. However, her little teeth and claws are not 🫠Moth. 

She has recovered well! Nursing 6 kittens for 11 weeks was difficult and exhausting. The kittens (save for Schnitzel) were rehomed to amazing people who are now friends— each kitten is well-loved and shared (the families cherish these little cuties). 

Moth misses them— she really loved being a mother. Her gums and lips are back to normal. 

It turns out her immune system was really running on steam (6 kittens are caloric vacuums). Her lip was swollen and ulcerated, but steroid treatment set her back on track. Now, she can be a goofy Ragdoll again— demanding Gourmet food and chicken fillets. The little mare.

Just want to point out if people had been beaten up at the Green or SNP party conference and their leader had cheered it on. It wouldn't just have been on TV, it would have been on TV non-stop until the election. But for Reform, it barely got mentioned.

I had to go to A&E recently because my local GP service isn't taking appointments for 'minor' health issues (triage). My case was filtered as 'minor'. Then I had a violent seizure in the passenger seat of my dad's car. "MINOR health issue." I dislocated my shoulder. I don't have epilepsy, btw.
