Laika over the years

2021, 2022, 2024

Recently adopted a new furbaby to my family & a friend remarked on her resemblance to Laika. So we named our furbaby Laika. It's so heartbreaking that the original Laika never came home. This artwork is so beautiful & honors a beautiful furbaby. (Pict of my Laika below)

It's important, especially for beginner writers, but to remind those who have been writing long term as well, that your writing, your stories, your characters and plots, they cannot be all encompassing, they simply cannot address every issue we individually and collectively face in the world today. They cannot completely and flawlessly represent every single person's lived experience in absolute depth and nuance, and that's normal, that's okay! What's important is for you to lean into the story you want to tell and the experiences and passions (themes, opinions, hobbies even) you want to share and explore, and make every effort to tell those things to the best of your ability — and tell a bloody good tale while you're at it 💕

I wish my watercolours were this soft and delicate and fuzzy

“omg you’re so creative. how do you get your ideas” i hallucinate a single scene in the taco bell drive thru and then spend 13 months trying to write it

The old school lack of transparency on tumblr is amazing because you assume the people you follow must all be equivalent to you and then you see someone write “I brought my youngest to college today” and someone else write “my mom wouldn’t let me listen to Ariana Grande when I was a kid” and then your head explodes

and we need that! keeps us humble.

Then I'm just like WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’RE AN ADULT

It goes the other way, too, because WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE A CHILD?!!

I'm 16, that's like, barely a child

I'm in my 30s. You are baby

I'm older than both of you in a trenchcoat.

honestly one of the best things we can do for ourselves is realize that people of different ages than us can still be the same kind of person as us. it's humbling and it gives everyone involved a sense of continuity, and it busts those stupid generational stereotypes media is so fond of.

I think one of my favorite creative joys is seeing how many different things people can do with the same concept. give ten writers the same starting point, or basic plot, or set of tropes to use and you're still going to get wildly different end results

the details you focus on, the ones you omit, turns of phrase, tone, and framing, the cadence and tempo of the sentences themselves, all the little fingerprints you've left littered across the prose — how you tell the story matters, and your personal voice is what makes it unique

I was inspired by a stressful day at work. This is a representation of a mantra I sometimes use: "be the healthy bear". I imagine myself a big bear with thick fur & the source of my stress a small squirrel throwing acorns at me that just bounce off. A healthy bear can ignore it....or use it as an opportunity. 😁

I still have to add the color. Unsure what medium I want yo use. I'm thinking of trying out my water color pencils. We shall see. 🤔

image description applying to all images: pictures of a small (a7) booklet featuring two birds, one green and one orange, talking to eachother, photographed in front of some plants and garden tiles. end ID.

i'd already made some art of this post by @jennythebot but the image it conjured in my mind was so delightful to me i decided to make a whole zine. this is my first printed zine! new skill unlocked!

in conclusion:

birds appreciate my tiny photographs! why is nobody talking about this?

#cute zine

roboticchibitan

OK. So! Remember how I said I was going to make a zine about being nonbinary from a Buddhist perspective? I did the thing! It's available on itch for free. There's a version for viewing on a screen (the "Gender is Empty zine.PDF" file) and a file that's been re-arranged to be printed (the "gender_is_empty_zine_typeset.PDF" file). I can't help you figure out your printer. You're on your own for that.

Anyway. It's 11 pages (5.5x8.5inch pages). Here it is! Hope you enjoy!
