If you’re an adult, do the stuff you couldn’t as a kid.

Like, me and my sister went to a museum, and they had an extra exhibit of butterflies. But it cost £3. So we sighed, walked past, then stopped. We each had £3. We could see the butterflies. And we did it was great. We followed it up with an ice-cream as well because Mum and Dad weren’t there to say no.

I was driving back from a work trip with 2 other people in their early 20s, and we drove past a MacDonalds. One of the others went “Aww man, I’d love a McFlurry.” And the guy driving pulled in to the drive through. It was wild. But it was great.

I went to a park over the weekend and I was thinking “Man, I’d love to hire one of those bikes and cycle round the park.” It took me a few minutes to go “Wait, I can hire one of those bikes!”

I guess what I’m saying is, those impulsive things you wanted to do as a kid - see the dinosaur exhibit, play in the fountains with the other kids, lie in the shade for 2 hours - you can do when you’re an adult. You have to deal with a whole lot of other bull, but at least you can indulge your inner 8 year-old.

Guys, stop being crap to creators. You aren’t hurting Amazon. You’re stealing from writers.

ANNOUNCEMENT: my sleep study and MSLT is coming up Monday-Tuesday, and as a result I can’t take my medication for the next two days to prepare. I will *try* to be somewhat productive this weekend if I can stay awake at all, but i won’t be promising or guaranteeing anything. This month is flying by faster than I could’ve imagined and I feel like I haven’t gotten much done outside of attending a bunch of doctors appointments and getting testing done 💀

if you’re waiting art from please be patient with me while I get my life/health together. I also still need to renew my healthcare and finish my taxes before end of month and mail stuff out, and my energy levels are so low, on top of recurring/chronic health issues and executive dysfunction being a daily struggle.

Broccoli, spinach, oatmeal, really spicy foods, Brussels sprouts, raw onion/garlic, fish. I’ve never gotten to try liver or chicken hearts! And I’ve hated chocolate of all flavors since I was little, except white chocolate and ruby cacao

Okay, we've had plenty of those "popular food that you hate" polls.It's time for:

Some of my more recent portraits, and a DND inspired Tamandua! These are done in watercolor, and the black and white portraits were pen and ink, except for the tamandua which was drawn in procreate
