Newsletter poll
Newsletters are something I've struggled with for a while-- my old website made it really difficult to collect email signups. I've been noticing and contemplating other alternatives lately, and I'd love your feedback on what kind YOU like to get, or would be most likely to actually read!
If you have any other thoughts, drop a comment! I like knowing the "why" behind the answers :3
I personally feel inundated by emails, but I am way more likely to open and read the occasional email newsletter from an artist I like, versus the thrice daily ads from retailers.

Website revamp that I've been working on for the last few months....! I finally have the shop mostly up-- I've been having to manually add all the photos back in and fix shipping profiles, etc, so it's taking forever. But! There's a chunk of stuff there, and I'm whittling away at the rest.

Old site pics (a little time capsule for future me):
I was mostly happy with Squarespace, except that it felt like a lot of money compared to other options and I could never get newsletter subscription to work properly? It was easy to use, at least.
I'm really hoping the new site will give me more flexibility moving forward. <3 My very first website was on Wordpress, so the dashboard is comfortingly familiar!
#Boy howdy am I stoked to be back on Wordpress with all the Automattic AI shenanigans going on#D:#classic timing#hellospriggan#website updates

And then, I got pneumonia again. Hahahaha
I'm not as horrendously sick as in December, but still feeling pretty awful. The total loss of energy is so hard to navigate: again, I've been doing a lot of small sketchbook doodles, but I don't have the energy to take scans or photos to share. I've been reading a lot, mostly on my phone via Libby because it's easy to carry around. We've been watching Steven Universe (Jarod got me the complete series for Christmas; we had been watching it as it came out back when we still had cable, but lost track of it amidst one of our many moves--it's so nice to finally see it all), and I started Inuyasha again from the beginning.
Basically, a lot of escapism. I DID get accepted to vend at Faerie Festival and am really excited about that. Designing a fuck ton of pins and stickers and things.
I had a really great day on Monday and got so much done. I think I inadvertently used up all my spoons, the rest of the week has been awful. D:
To be fair our basement flooded again Tuesday night
That didn't help
But also: current events. I had to turn my phone off for the whole day yesterday to curtail my doom scrolling. It helped. And yet, the crushing knowledge that the world is flawed, and people are flawed, and that there is suffering and sadness and hate, remain...
I'm trying so hard to remind myself that there is beauty and love and good, too. I'm trying to lean into appreciating the small things, because they are the most important things I have. Like the way my daughter's voice sounds when she greets her dad when he gets home from work; the fact that my son is learning to read and write, and is writing just for the fun of it, things like, "This is my famuly and we love eechuver."
I hope I can be a good enough person, a good enough mother. I hope my kids will be good and loving.
I also really hope my artwork can cheer people up when they're down. I'm going to try to post more of it, I've been trying to do more small sketches and doodles. Probably won't be reblogging much of other people's work for a bit, as I go back into hibernation mode and try to avoid The Sads.

to opt out on mobile, click your blog 鉃★笍 scroll then click visibility 鉃★笍 toggle opt out option.
if you鈥檝e already opted out of showing up in google searches, it鈥檚 preselected for you. if you don鈥檛 have the option available, update your app or close your browser/refresh a few times. important to note you also have to opt out for each blog you own separately, so if you鈥檇 like to prevent AI scraping your blog i鈥檇 really recommend taking the time to opt out.
