I hope the AI bubble bursts so badly that millennials can buy a 3 bed 2 bath house for 60k on a 30 year mortgage at 1.5%

Always charge hourly in the equivalent of mimimum wage. No reason we shouldn't be paid the same as any other job when wr're spending hours of work.
I saw a post saying, "I hate artists who charge more than $90 for a full-body illustration!" Well, I'm sorry, but I can't make a living charging any less than that!!

*if you live in the US, like me, i recommend setting yourself to "minimum wage as properly adjusted for inflation" cuz, well, (gestures vaguely)

I try not to be a bratty, petty, or catty person... But every time BD texts me about docs, I love to sprinkle in a text or two about what a shame it is that he & his family aren't around to know how amazing my son is, and what a gift it is to be a part of his life.

They’ve financialised basic human shelter. It’s a fucking travesty and we should be way more fucking angry than we are. And what about groceries? Corporations love to cry on earnings calls about "supply chain disruptions," "gas prices," and "transport costs." Yet,

Let’s talk about the funniest financial flop of the decade. Billionaires have spent literal billions pouring money into the far-right movement, trying to convince us all that their fringe political ideology is the most popular thing since sliced bread. Spoiler alert for the

Japan’s music scene feels too closed for what I want to express, and I’m bound by limitations. To reach bigger stages, I need your help. Even one minute of listening gives me strength, and every stream opens a door. Will you support me? If you come to Japan, see me live.

I think I'm developing a particular affection for Kou from Damned bc he reminds me so much of my stylish, goth,& tall guitarist w/ a lot of flare and always having his thighs out. It feels like my favorite character came to life w/o blue hair😂 (pic3 is,like,15+yrs old art lol)

I've been wasting too much time this morning on this app so I'm going back to RL and leaving y'all with this hilariously cute video of my dumbest cat learning about central air conditioning for the first time. (We had been living there for a year, this was when Momo *noticed* it)

I've always been a black sheep in my adoptive family and was visibly, spiritually, politically, and mentally VERY different from them. Whenever another trauma was added to my list of lifetime PTSD events, I'd say "What's next, I'm adopted?" Guess what I found out at 35!
Does anyone else have trauma that's objectively kind of funny

Oh, I also super glued my eye shut in elementary school. Like 6 years old and putting the tip right up to my eye to see why it was clogged. And squeezing. 💀 & my first serious head injury was while pretending to be Vegeta! slipped in the dark, bonked head on a lead pipe. 💀💀💀

Actually I'll use Mame for one more PSA: Did you know calicos/torties have a genetic predisposition for obesity? Sometimes they just can't lose the weight no matter what. Don't internalize that as a personal failure to your kitty if they get fat and can't lose weight.
While I have some cat lovers attention, lemme shout out a useful cat owner tip: Desensitize your kitties to being handled with their paws, legs, all over their body. It makes things safer for you, them, & their vets. That's all. Here's Mame being cute because I poked her toes.

Sometimes their genetics win and as long as we, as their caretakers, can keep them healthy and from continuously gaining weight, that's still good too. My cats are chubby fluffs, but their weight is stalled at just a few lbs over. Not ideal, of course, but it is what it is.

A cool thing that science is learning from Calico obesity is that, through studying their little bodies and genetics, it's giving scientists more ideas on how to work with human obesity too. Sources! oxfordpets.com/why-do-calico… techtimes.com/articles/3560/…
