I made the decision to sell my tablet and save up for an actual drawing tablet. It means I won't be able to draw for months but it means we can use that money on stuff for the apartment! That tablet was way too small and slow anyway, it served me well for a year but now it's time to move on

Drawing has always distracted me from pain and it's the one thing not taken from me by illness (that and cooking!) But this is an investment for the future so!

Today's gender is a friendly leopard.

some #molluscs for day 97 of #drawing #animals. I had intended to focus on the large forms but then got sucked into their delicious little bumpy textures...

Haven't been on here in TIME but with twitter crashing before our eyes I'm gonna try and make more of an effort!

Dear people, please Boost this post far and wide--on Mastodon and elsewhere if you can! My baby boy needs a truly, ridiculously expensive surgery, and I have no income. (My partner died on Dec 31, and he was the one with income.) Please save Albie!

Hello fellow disableds! I was wondering if anyone with #EDS or a #ConnectiveTissueDisorder or the like could help me with foot pain? It started almost a week ago and I went on a long walk and since then it's been awful. Exclusively the bottom of my foot, mostly around the arch and toes, burning and numbness. My ankle also hurts! Should I just rest? Have you had this pain? I'm gonna go Dr if it doesn't improve next week but thought I'd ask!
You know what I want social media for? To tell people their projects rock. Made a cool diorama? I support it. Great woodworking project? F*** yeah. Garden's looking good? Great job, friend. Painting turned out how you wanted it? Or close? Love it. That's what makes me happy. Telling you the things that make you happy rock.

Here's an uncomfortable American history fact. While folks often point out that after Jesse Owens won 4 gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Hitler refused to shake his hand.

But what happened next? Well, after returning home, Owens & 17 other Black Olympians were denied an invite to the White House. Instead, President Roosevelt only invited white Olympians. And it wasn't until 2016 that the White House finally apologized and invited their descendants to the WH.

2016.
