1 month later and I've finally STARTED recording my time management and finding solutions to my work/life balance. Unfortunately that means my drawing tablet is chained up like this till I figure things out.

real life college losers

Characters Aika and Zira from Pretty Pretty Please I Don't Want to be a Magical Girl but college aged. Zira has their hair in an updo, tied by a bandana, a purple halter top and frilly denim skirt. They also have a lip piercing and tattoos. Aika wears a blue and yellow cropped tank top, dark, baggy denim jeans and her hair is now black on top and blonde on the bottom. She still has scars on her abdomen. Zira stands behind Aika holding her around her shoulders and Aika holds their forearm while she smiles back at them.

Devastated to hear that Daveigh Chase (known for Samara, Lilo, and Chihiro) just passed away. Major condolences to her family and close ones. May she rest in peace.

There's a false notion in my head that books are the only form of media that'll have me reread and flip back on pages and sentences of dialogue till their meanings click for me. Then I watch stuff like The Vampire Lestat and IWTV, where EVERYBODY'S a poet and that notion gets vaporized again.

Really vibing with a short I recently saw that was countering a statement proponents of generative AI like to make. “It helps me be creative.“ No, it doesn’t. You were doing that all by yourself.

Liberty spikes and raccoon tails and veritable Mink Stole cosplay and raver goth goggles and hair I wrote a webcomic 20 years ago about a point in the future where everything was always in style all at once Nice to see I was right

This is one of the most quietly revolutionary things any city can do to improve kids' lives & outcomes. If you genuinely care about kids having access to education or safe after school spaces & activities, then fund your libraries, staff your libraries, & make every public school ID a library card.

Comic book style cover of Roronoa Zoro from one piece holding a sword with a reflection of Sanji in it. This is a reference to the iconic Hulk vs. Wolverine Marvel Comics cover.
