I love it when mom makes coffee. I get to make allergy friendly sweet drinks. Made with decaf coffee, dairy free caramel and chocolate syrup, coconut whipped cream, and ricemilk.

Why decaf? Migraine. I have enough caffeine in my meds for Migraine... 😎 💜

Self-care is essential, but what about those times when you're so emotionally distressed that even self-care feels impossible? That's when you need to turn to: ✨self-soothing✨ Self-soothing isn't a reward or a treat, it's a necessity to be able to continue on your day effectively.

Depressed people like me never have to worry about the tires on our cars because we’re always carrying despair.

I just really need people to understand there are multiple steps to take if you’re worried someone is passing off AI art. It’s gonna take a little work! Accusing an artist of AI without any real evidence can be damaging to their reputation, so please be mindful and do some research

Don’t do work for free for anyone. The fact that professionals need to be told this still is insane. If you’re not getting paid for it, do not do it. It may sound “greedy”, but you will be used and abused by clients if you do that.

Summer break is here and I'm down to my last paycheck until I start work again in late August. If you can help, I'd appreciate it. Everything goes to buying allergy safe food, transportation, and art! Every donation will get a digital Shiboodle Doodle 🐶🌈✨️

Some of the nihilism I'm seeing on the skyline is why Black people say y'all wouldn't last an hour as us, btw.

Anyone want to fund my ridiculous love of making cards in exchange for some hand made cards for every occasion sent to you before the end of the year? xD I just want to make things but shouldn't be spending.

BREAKING -- New York Public Library for the win! After a massive public backlash, NYC's libraries are getting their funding back -- and will be open on Sundays again. Take a bow, folks -- WE did this.

This sells art, too. Talk about the art you like. Talk about the books you like. Ask your friends what they are reading. Make supporting creative people your small talk.

Next month's #KidLitArtPostcard event is being pushed back one week because of the 4th of July Holiday. 😊 Not everyone celebrates the Holiday but people can be busy that week regardless.

The absolutely wild thing is: This goes for ALL social aid. Just *giving people some fucking money,* literally going "OK, how much did you need?", cutting checks, and waving them out the door? COSTS LESS and HAS BETTER OUTCOMES than the current system's bureaucracy and means testing, EVERY TIME.

I'm sorry you're going through it. 🫂 depression can definitely be overwhelming. The only advice I have is seeking out your support system if you have one. But we're also here for you too! Especially if you need to talk. And also finding other activities that might bring some distraction and relief

Did you know that tomorrow, June 24 2024 is national make a terrible comic day? You don’t have to make comics every hour or a multi-page story, you just have to string a few panels together. It’s mandatory especially if you haven’t drawn anything for yourself lately and you miss it

I got to work with Smithsonian last year and this year and, just saying, it would be so nice to contribute art or stories to more work in conservation and scientific exploration. Doesn’t even have to be books, just things that connect people with important ideas ♥️
