Wow, I never knew about that. I will think twice before buying from there now.

Same! I currently have 3. Two fit under the bed, one giant tub in the closet. I have forbidden myself to buy more fabric until I use up some. I love going to Joanne's and I also love Spoonflower. Since you're an artist, you might want to check it out. You can make custom fabrics and sell them.

I think you may be right. I feel like there's a bit of 'extra' torture when I have to hear the song and watch the lights flash to the beat. ðŸĪŠ

I work on electronic toys, so I'm a victim of earworms. Every horrible kids song is on constant repeat in my head at any given moment. 😖 I wake up in the middle of the night and am revisited by 4 different renditions of 'Wheels on the Bus'. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

I love that this is a thing. I am good at making poorly-drawn comics. I've always been too afraid to share my drawings with the world because I know too many amazing artists in real life.

This is lovely. I wish this site had a "draw my pet" group or thread of some sort because this deserves to be immortalized in a drawing. 😊

Which program is the industry standard? Does it really matter if you're good at what you do? Does it matter if they output the same file types? Does it matter if it gets the job done? These are questions I ask myself everyday as a sound designer. You can't let it bother you. Just keep going.

I have a full set of "Prince of Thieves" movie cards. I can't get rid of them. 😅 Also, and I'm just guessing here, they probably couldn't afford the rights to put Kevin Costner's image on the cereal box, or he said NO.

Lego marketing for the tuxedo cat is brilliant. They posted a bunch of gibberish text, and then posted a picture of it assembled and sitting on a laptop. ðŸĪĢ

'Turning Red' and 'Luca' were brilliant. It's problematic if you only consume media you relate with. This 'commonality' concept will erase whole cultures and groups of people.

To whomever needs to hear it, I did not learn, practice, struggle, fail, persevere, and sacrifice throughout my years of creativity just to serve some fucking algorithm, or to be the fodder for those that wish to kill the process. And neither did you.

When I was an angry teenager in high school, I hand-embroidered Crazy Daisy Ed playing a guitar on my backpack. I'll have find a picture of it.

I went for a walk today and I saw this squirrel. He must have stolen a chocolate chip cookie from somewhere.

Sometimes, when doing market research, I find a toy that is so cool, I lament it didn't exist when I was a child. Then I buy it and give it to someone who has children so that the joy of play can exist somewhere in this world, even if it's not mine to experience.

Three comments, sorry for being all over the place: 1) Have you ever seen the Talking Tina episode of The Twilight Zone? 2) I had a cab driver once who was also a part-time clown. Boy did he HATE what Pennywise did to little kids. Hope he's doing well. 3) Some kids are just terrified of the makeup.

I had a beautiful black cat once. He loved cornbread. He loved it so much, he tore through a paper bag from Boston Market and went to town. Maybe give this guy some cornbread...? He looks like he deserves it.

Treat yourself and read it. You can also support your local library and find it in the Libby app. Sophie is awesome.

The book has some similarities, but ultimately feels like a different story. However, it is quite enjoyable. Individually they are both unique and beautiful. I feel like the book gives you more insight and respect for Sophie while the movie makes you fall in love with Howl. Just my two cents.

I saw this on the shelf at FYE and I wondered if it's 35 years too late or if I stepped through a time portal. Why do we give so much power to nostalgia?

Sit with him on the balcony and just relax. I did this with my old 17-year-old cat and it was one of my happiest memories of him.

I've been trying to get my hands on Sneaky Snakes. A local game store near me has it, but life has been getting in the way of me getting over there to pick it up. I still play old games. I was super excited to see it in Nintendo Switch online. I can't believe you beat it! It's so hard! 😄
