We love you. Please hold us like you used to.

I am not going to have a PC for the next couple of weeks but once I do I'll try and sort this mess.

I like the frog a lot.

You can always try your hand as a YouTube creator.  I don't think there are many Plant based channel hosts so you'd have a niche already carved out.

You jest but there is a fella who goes all around the world and talks endlessly about the plants he comes across. He's incredibly vulgar and is very quick to point out which plant structures resemble a human prepuce. Then there are countless "Plant Dad" videos. Maybe I'd focus on plant creatures across video games, it would be an endless catalog. Brings me back to when I'd scour rpgclassics to try and find every single botanical monster out there.

Okay that might be a thing that will happen.

Holy #####, these are beautiful!

Thanks, some of it is older stuff from years ago that I had lying in a drawer. I just photographed them and played around with em. Unfortunately, I used dall-e to expand the range of some of the originals. For example, the bottom quarter of the field where Snare is standing was partly generated by dall-e. I am a fraud.

Prize winning art?  We're officially a sophisticated website now!

I'm living my childhood dream, in a manner of speaking.

I'm a preschool teacher, right now I work with tots around 2 years old. I'm on a very reduced schedule because of disabilities, but my boss is amazing and makes sure I have a schedule and tasks I'm comfortable in. I can safely present as nonbinary both in my personal life and at work, which feels good, too.

Coming to terms with the actual scope of my disabilities has been a very interesting road, but my ability to advocate and fill out legal documents is unparalleled now, lol. Most of them are familiar, but these last four years have been a doozy when it comes to medical things, especially when basically long covid limited my ability to eat a giant swath of food. That aspect is getting better, at least, and the other components are being discovered and addressed, even the ones that were secretly there my whole life.

I've got an amazing partner, who has been absolutely wonderful through all of the last four years of discovery.

Ghostkiddo is on the brink of teenhood now, and it's been so weird adjusting to any of that. They aspire to join me in working at the center I work at in a couple of years. My family keeps telling me it's fun to see me raising a child who is essentially my clone in personality, and I have feelings about that.

I guess that's really all of it. Life is simultaneously simple and complex, as always, but I'm enjoying it for the most part in spite of everything

Last year was both prolific in art, but lacking in main pieces

Here's a few. One of them won a prize in a contest entry!

Just noticed the capitalized bobcat and also realizing I haven't heard anything from the comedian of the same name in ages. Is he worm food? Tell us John.

He's directing and writing mostly. He is 61 years old, and his only product of note for 2023 was being a guest voice on 'The Patrick Star Show", which I didn't know existed and upsets me. Why do spinoffs have to be 'The (insert character's name) Show'? They could have called it Star Power, or Star Power Hour.

Also hey I'm between jobs right now. Working sucks.

The creator of SpongeBob was very adamant about no spin-offs so the millisecond he croaks they went and made SpongeBob spinoffs.

61 year old Bobcat is a solemn thought.

Also yeah, I don't know if I can work a traditional job that requires an inflexible schedule. I have medical conditions and stuff. Disability covers rent at least!
