Hey California! Be careful this election because the big money creeps are trying to trick you (again).

All of this 🔥

FYI

ELON IS TRYING TO GET YOUR DATA WITH THIS - MAKE SURE YOU ARE ONLY GOING INTO GOVERNMENT SITES!!! DO NOT ENTER 👇

thinking about when guillermo del toro said "since childhood, i've been faithful to monsters. i've been saved and absolved by them, because monsters are the patron saints of our blissful imperfections.”

You are so goddamn admirable you make me wanna get up and rip apart the parts of my house I wanna fix

Smart! There's a lot of research supporting the concept of changing context to change channels of thought - I hope it works for you 🤞

This sentiment is so pure and it's exactly how I feel about making custom plush. There's something about doing custom work that just HITS different than making noncustom work. 💙

YES. THIS. Let's not even get INTO the things that I have not known about all my plumbing until being nearly 40 years old, despite getting the best level of science/bio education that was offered then. Categories of anatomy that, if I were amab, would not have been omitted or overlooked. 😤

Day 8! This sweet beribboned Siamese Cat was an Artistic Liberty Teddy commission, so I had a lot of freedom in designing the look of the character. As a result, I was able to put together a three-color design that looked impressive but was easy to accomplish and fun to make.💙

Day 7 of the Teddy Countdown! Ryland Tiger's made of 3 colors, but required high precision to make sure the stripes started parallel to each other, matched up across seams, & were symmetrical. And those freckles are hand-sewn! Teddies like this are hard, but the satisfaction is extremely rewarding.

The fact that social pressure to not talk about bodily stuff, even with close family, has so many people living out these kinds of stories- it just makes me so goddamn resentful.

I didn't know it wasn't supposed to be painful for most of my goddamn life, since I was little. And there's so, SO many other things I didn't know, that I didn't feel like I could safely ask other people about - or that I never realized there was anything to ask about in the first place. GRUMBLE

That would *absolutely* pull. Hell yes.

I absolutely adore when I can manage a group shot of a bunch of commissions all together. They're SO useful for figure promotion 🥰 These guys all look fantastic! I really like the scale comparisons between the largest and smaller sizes. It helps conceptualize the size better!
