Gonna save this once I get out, so when I actually get a home of my own and a computer, I can download this program instead.
(Can't switch programs yet, since my laptop is about 8 years old and trying.)

Luisa Ignacia Roldán, also known as La Roldana, was a Spanish sculptor of the Baroque Era.
She is the earliest woman sculptor documented in Spain, recognized in the Hispanic Society Museum for being "one of the few women artists to have maintained a studio outside the convents in Golden Age Spain".

I have endometriosis that is so severe that I ended up not being able to move, eat, and drink for 3 days. 😔 Even if after I throw up all my stomach contents (acid and all) to relieve the pain.
The birth control pill helps drastically to relieve this burden.

I like to remind people that birth control and similar meds are not just for sex. These meds are used for variety of treatments that most people (not just women) need in order to survive.
It is all about control and ignorance. 🤬🤬🤬

Wild that every new person that we hire thinks that I am a manager.
Unfortunately and fortunately, I am not, unless I decide to quit...
...which is becoming more tempting every day.

Now, time for an announcement:
GO READ WHA MANGA!
Gorgeous ink work, beautiful storytelling, amazing diverse characters, etc.
GO READ! NOW!
(Also, similar to Dungeon Meshi, there are a trio of books dedicated to food of that world! Unlike Dungeon, you can make it!)

We need more, but credit where due: both The Nation (June 2024 issue) and Boston Review have run a breakdown of the Project 2025 “Mandate for Leadership” document. Media Matters, too. Lots of good work going on digesting this.

Yes, definitely do!
Also, there are 3 WHA books that focus on recipes that you can actually make! They are super fun to read, especially seeing more of the Qifrey/Olruggio household. Lol.

Theory:
Our current political climate comes from the mindset of those who want to speak to the manager because they're unhappy, and are flatly uninterested in understanding why they're unhappy or whether they should be. They just want the manager to "fix it" and thus are willing to empower tyrants.

For Disability Pride Month I’m once again begging for more artists to start considering accessibility and add alt text to your images. It helps low/no vision folks, neurodivergent folks, and more. Plus alt text shows up in searches! There’s a toggle in settings so you won’t forget. 👇

It's also funny when you try to talk about other things.
Them: "Oh, I heard like Kingdom Hearts?"
Me: "Yeah, I like them."
Them: "Yeah, I tried playing one game and didn't like it. Anyway, about Sonic Frontiers..."

My newest coworker is absolutely obsessed with Sonic, especially Sonic Frontiers.
They draw Sonic, Shadow, Eggman, etc. everyday, even during work hours and talk about it every minute of the day. They even hum the music from the games!

Well, I was going to add his water dragon form, but it is the last day of the month, so I kind of had to rush this a bit. (Maybe I will add his water dragon form later?)
Anyway, Neuvillette from Genshin Impact!

In time for the LGBTQ+ month (although it is nearing the end of the month, unfortunately)! Anyway, if you didn't know, I'm asexual!
Also, if you didn't know by now, I love dragons.

Okay, so I'm going to post a thread now about using Clip Studio Paint, about color settings, ICC color profiles, outputting to CMYK, getting 100% K in your blacks, etc. Technical shit. If you're struggling with this, read the thread. I'll reply to myself here, and it'll take a little time... 1/many
