Why is Tumblr suddenly showing me ai bullshit every other post? If you post ai "art" on Tumblr I HATE you and think you are a waste of space on the internet and the earth. I have been reporting 100% of them. I hope you have a very fucking bad day you talentless scumbags.

Yooooo I voted today! Lets turn Texas blue. It felt Soo good walking in with a group of typically mixed voters knowing we were all voting the same this year. It's been amazing watching my ex trumpie mother become aware of the world state and grow. So proud I didn't have to cancel out anyone's vote this time

My fiance has nightmares. It really sucks for them. They rarely seem to feel rested, and mornings are rough. I often wish I could do more to help. The reference pic I used was one of the first pics I took of them. We have been together just over two years now and so much has changed. I think they have more trauma. We have been through so many bad life situations together at this point. I guess this really just represents how I wish I could have prevented every bad situation. Maybe they would sleep better. Maybe we just need a better mattress. Who knows.

I think I'm trying to block out TheHorrors™️ with hobbies. In the last week I have spent hours and hours on digital art, embroidery, and regular sewing. I am sewing my rats a hammock. I don't know if full blown escapism is the way to go but here we are.

I want to tell a story to the artists and would-be artists out there.

When I was 19, I made a large oil painting of the nerd I would eventually marry. I poured all my attention and care into this painting. It's the only art I have from back then that still holds up as a work I'm proud of today.

I entered it into a judged show at the local art center. It got an honorable mention. I went to see the show with my beloved model. One of the judges came up to talk to me, and highlighted that all the judges really liked the painting. It would have placed, except, you see, the feet were incorrect. They were too wide and short, and if I just studied a bit more anatomy-

I called over my future wife, and asked her to take off her shoe. Being already very used to humoring me, she did. The judge looked at her very short, very wide little foot. Exactly as I'd lovingly rendered it. I would never edit her appearance in any way.

The judge looked me in the eye, and to his credit, he really looked like he meant it when he said "Oh I'm so sorry."

Anyways the moral of the story is that all of those anatomy books that teach you proportions are either showing you averages, or a very specific idea of an idealized body. Actual bodies are much more varied than that.

So don't forget to draw from observation, and remember that humans aren't mass produced mannequins. Delight in our variation. Because it's supposed to be there.

I used really thick strands to do this lmao, I want it CHUNKY. I haven't done embroidery in years and then made 5 small projects this week. I can never just take an interest in something it's gotta be the hyperfixation of the week 🥲

Bruh I have been so into "granny crafts" lately. I have done 4 small embroideries in 5 days. Nothing makes me happier than trimming the last bit of excess floss on my piece.

I get so hyperfixated, I worked on this for nearly 2 days straight. I couldn't get the idea of alien strippers out of my mind.

Why is it so hard to make friends as an adult? When I was 20 I had so many friends? Now I'm 25 and it's like where are the people like me at? I feel so isolated to be honest.
