The Coping Mechanisms of a Basketcase

I am a 27 year old female. RIP my beautiful gecko lizard, Navi. 3/2017 My current baby gecko is Elzo. I love to read and write, and music (singing, playing and listening). I absolutely love to play video games. Some of my all time favorites are Pokémon, Zelda, Mario, and Donkey Kong. I also absolutely adore Borderlands, Binding of Isaac, and Undertale (just to name a few). I love Magic the Gathering but I only casually play because the money needed to keep up with the latest and greatest is obscene. I love to craft. My forte is crocheting, but I dabble in a bit of everything. My Instagram and Facebook page are both called Yarnations. I take commissions to help get myself through college. I love puzzles of all sorts. Fandom I consider myself a part of? Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Marvel and DC universes in general. I'm sure there's more. As a neuroscience major, I love having thought provoking conversations. I will play devil's advocate just for the sake of a debate. New to the D&D scene! Feel free to message me! This blog is the closest resemblance to my scattered mind that I can muster, enjoy.

I have a few more of my decks leftover from the comic cons, available for the first time online via my @gumroad store at https://gumroad.com/posemuse

“This 52 card deck is a versatile way to quickly browse and select poses. It includes various references, including many using photos from @senshistock! You can use this deck as an on the go inspiration for your art! Each one comes with a 1.5" metal book-ring you can slip through the drilled hole to bind them.”

“Empathy isn’t just something that happens to us—a meteor shower of synapses firing across the brain—it’s also a choice we make: to pay attention, to extend ourselves. It’s made of exertion, that dowdier cousin of impulse. Sometimes we care for another because we know we should, or because it’s asked for, but this doesn’t make our caring hollow. The act of choosing simply means we’ve committed ourselves to a set of behaviors greater than the sum of our individual inclinations: I will listen to his sadness, even when I’m deep in my own. To say “going through the motions”—this isn’t reduction so much as acknowledgment of the effort—the labor, the motions, the dance—of getting inside another person’s state of heart or mind. This confession of effort chafes against the notion that empathy should always arise unbidden, that genuine means the same thing as unwilled, that intentionality is the enemy of love. But I believe in intention and I believe in work. I believe in waking up in the middle of the night and packing our bags and leaving our worst selves for our better ones.”

— Leslie Jamison, “The Empathy Exams” (via The Believer)
