- AI folks pretending they’re being oppressed ‘cos they don’t want to learn how to draw is wildly entitled. There’s loads of skills I’d love to learn but don’t have the time or I’m not able to do them. Does it suck? Sure. But it’s not “gatekeeping” and I have no right to those skills!
- Just signed a thing! A lovely end to a Friday for sure ✨

- To coincide with some news incoming (plus I haven’t changed it in like 5 years…) here’s a new profile pic! 💖
- Exciting work news coming this month! ✨ Also bb is officially crawling, pls send me strength.
- Just a reminder that Hourly Comics Day has been moved to the 8th! Mark your calendars! ✨

- I’m on Upscrolled for folks leaving Instagram and TikTok. Not sure if it’s any good yet but sure, I’d love a viable alternative to meta.

- FUCK ICE. FUCK MAGA. FUCK TRUMP.
- How about “get the fuck out my city you undertrained, evil federally-funded-fucking terrorists.” How about using YOUR police force to force them out? Hm?? Fucking hell.
- Reposted by Tara O’ConnorI can’t go to the grocery store alone right now because ICE is racially profiling and abducting people who aren’t white
- In case anyone else is getting slammed—most likely an AI fault since gmail started getting heavy on pushing that gemini nonsense.
- People shipping Lucy with Cooper when Maximus is RIGHT THERE. 😤
- The girl loves Snoopy—entirely possibly ‘cos his nose looks like a boob…
- So now that everyone in the house is better my body’s like “ok you’re allowed to get sick now!” 🫠 Happy Fridayyyy.
- Seeing folks hung up on American Patriotism™ over *actual* human beings that have been consistently harmed over the course of American history is depressing as fuck. Acknowledging these atrocities doesn’t mean you hate America, but trying to cover them up or sugarcoat them is fucking propaganda!
- Our health visitor asking whether or not we’re going to be bringing her to baby classes for socialisation after she just told me that anti-vaxx moms are in the rise in our area?

- Well, it’s been 9 months and she’s got her first fever. 😭 I think she’s handling it better than I am.
