October 8. One Of My Last Wolf Drawings This Month

This was suggested months ago, I’m sorry it took me so long. It was extremely painful to draw. This is the sad story of “Roscoe”. Please know that so many dogs suffer the same fate.

the "dire wolves are no longer extinct" stuff is gonna be the most annoyingly persistent science misinformation for the next decade at least

Every single person who's ever been associated with trek could tell me I'm wrong and I would still believe unwaveringly that this is Jonathan Archer's official Starfleet file photo

October 4. A more simple drawing.

So...here is the fourth of my drawings for October 2024. Tomorrow I hope I make something more complex.

October 6. A quick drawing of a dog's head.

So. While today I procrastinated somewhat, it was not as bad as yesterday. And I actually made two drawings today. And the first turned out so bad I could not stand showing others. So here is the second one I made. It was stil made in a hurry, but it is still something I can show others.

Six judges invented the US monarchy. Just made the shit up.

Interesting how the public has no access to the Supreme Court. You can't see any case. Yet billionaires can bribe the justices for decades.

Follow the money to Republican oligarchs.

October 3. Another attempt at a wolf

So. Today I procrastinated even more, and got really in a hurry with this drawing. On one hand, I am more proud that this wolf seems to have a more...„accurate” shape, if you ignore the head, and a more accurate posture and running motion. On the other hand, the perspective seems off, and the head has its own problems, different then those of my drawing from yesterday.

what a miserable day.

reminding myself the world is not fundamentally changed. we have elected our own downfall, but there are birds outside, and my little niece is learning to walk, and I need to go grocery shopping.

(people had fulfilling lives during the fall of the roman empire. I'm reading books from the 1930's, the last time fascism almost consumed us. I am reminding myself of the people of the world right now living under unjust regimes. I am looking to minorities in america, past and present, for tips on thriving with a boot on your neck. I am reaching out to the half of the country who is mourning with me today, reminding myself there is good, there are helpers, we are still here.)

in the future there will be protests, bad news, fights (jesus christ, thanksgiving is still ahead). for now I am just trying to remember how to live. in 2016 I completely shut down and retreated from everyone. I allowed myself to be tricked into thinking I was alone. I don't want to do that again. (I don't want to do any of this again.)

this is how you live through tragedies - any way you can.
