BTW you can follow my bluesky posts right here from the fediverse at @atrus.bsky.social
Just a reminder that I only check up here occasionally and I'm mostly on BlueSky and Tumblr. Not that I have anything more interesting to say over there.

I could still use your help and your boosts, y’all. Things are not-so-great in Michelle-land, and I would appreciate whatever aid you’re able to offer.

Man, I really hate doing this. I mean, asking for #MutualAid when you need it shouldn’t be such a kick in the teeth, but that’s what it feels like every time I do it. I suppose it’ll take me some time to reckon with the fact that I’m disabled now, and not as self-sufficient as I used to be. Meanwhile, I could use your help. If you can chip in, great! If not, please boost this, at the very least. Thanks, friends! ❤️ https://gofund.me/708fee58

@digichelle Oh no, the series that started with a white american, a russian, a japanese, a black woman, and a jewish elf all working together has diversity! How awful!
I posted this on Tumblr. I didn't think it would go far. But ... people have clipped it from Tumblr, shared in on Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, it's had at least ONE AI read on Tiktok, and a few on Youtube ... so ... just so you know who posted it ... Hi. My pharmacist stole my deadname.
@zarfeblong At least they understood that the viewer had to see what was happening on screen.
Apparently I forgot to post that I'm doing #ffxivwrite again this year. Prompts 1 to 7 are up right now, let's see how long I can keep the streak running this time. https://archiveofourown.org/works/58653742

@zkat I know, but unless she has the option to change classes and/or teacher, I have no really better wisdom than "don't let them grind you down, learn the techniques, and then apply them to what you love".

That said, if it had worked for me, I'd know how to play keyboard and guitar now, so. Effectiveness is limited.

@zkat I know all too well how demoralising a bad teacher can be, but (assuming this is a beginner's art class, because otherwise this is just bogus) maybe you could try to tell her that those studies of fruit and glasses and stuff are like Duplo bricks or training wheels on a bike, they're not there to be fun but to teach the basics of lighting and shadows and stuff on simple, roundish objects before she can apply the same concepts to whatever she likes to draw.
I'm one third into season three of The Bear and I have very mixed opinions about it. It seems to be made more to win awards than to actually tell a story.
