A dream of the fields

study

Right now my thoughts are with the family of Melissa Hortman, a democrat from Minnesota who was assassinated along with her husband and her dog in the dead of night. Senator Mike Lee (from Utah) made a joke about it. There was no moment of silence, no national response. MAGA extremism kills people.

Here’s a picture of her and her dog. Sometimes it’s hard to really conceptualize these things without faces to go with the names. I wonder why no major news outlets have focused on this story, or posted this photo of her with her golden retriever. Her dog looks just like mine. My heart is shattered every time I look at this.

Gilbert was a service dog dropout, who flunked out because he was “too friendly.” The Hortmans, of course, were thrilled to officially adopt him. He was the second retriever the Hortmans fostered and trained through Helping Paws. Their other foster dog, Minnie, was successfully placed as a veteran’s service dog. Helping Paws is always accepting donations in Melissa and Gilbert’s memory:

Melissa did so much for Minnesota, and I’m so angry that her murder was mocked by Republican legislators while the assassination of a hateful podcaster who rubbed shoulders with white nationalists and Nazis somehow receives more outrage. Trump never even reached out to Walz to express condolences for Melissa. He refused to attend her funeral. Now he wants to give Charlie Kirk The Presidential Medal of Freedom. I’m so fucking angry about it.

the implications of this comic are astronomic and too much for me to handle at 10 AM.

Roasted chicken, ginger, daikon, shiitake mushroom soup with lime, cilantro, broccoli sprouts, and rice noodles

Thank u for this contribution

my miku in old traditional Celtic clothing!

I thought I couldn’t really participate in this trend since I’m Japanese and Miku is just. Defaultly Japanese and there’s hundreds of drawings with her in a kimono

But then I realized oh wait. I’m half Irish. i just don’t know much abt my culture (and did not know anythingg abt traditional wear)

so this was a good excuse to research on some traditional Irish/celtic garb! I experimented with mimicking studio Cartoon Saloon’s style as well

unbothered. moisturized. happy. in my lane. focused. flourishing.

I continue to test new brushed, so here's a quick sketch portrait of my new witch oc she doesn't have a name yet, but I have a couple of ideas 🐍
