I find it hard to balance wanting to complete to-do lists that I make for myself and feeling accomplished, and knowing that it’s unhealthy to let productivity take over my thoughts.
I think that I’ve got a balance there at times, and then I have days like Wednesday where I start out promising to finish off my current list once and for all, then spend the day so fatigued that I barely get online.
I’ve been discussing with my therapist about sorting my feelings of guilt and/or shame about things that I do into manufactured or natural emotions. And what should be unsurprising, guilt over “not getting enough done” is often just a manufactured emotion.
I don’t know. No groundbreaking thoughts here. I’ve just been trying to work through this in my own mind.
Instead, take a look at some of the recent minis that I’ve painted! I’ve been taking existing characters and painting them like fursonas for something interesting.

Into the Myst – Adam Morgan, Inverse
I was a bit young when Myst came out and have never played it myself. Either way, a behind-the-scenes chat about the creation of classic games is always interesting to me.

LACKADAISY (Pilot)
This has been a long time coming too, and fairly well brings the first few issues of this webcomic to animated life. The only complaint that I have is Freckles not sounding like he did in my head while reading ๐น
Why Clip Art Was Everywhere… Until It Wasn’t
Sure, there’s the new Corporate Art Style of formless blobs and diverse body shapes/tones/styles, but there’s just a bit of that classic block-printing style missing from cheesy art these days

catching up with Laser – Queersplaining
I love the conversational approach that Callie Wright takes in some episodes. I want more of these things with trans creators talking about their wins and journeys of ongoing self discovery.
Steve Irwin – Respect the Dead
When I saw who this week’s episode was about, I was worried that I was going to find out terrible things about a wonderful man. Thankfully I was wrong and it was one of the episodes where they match the podcast title.
Macroblank – ในโใญโใผ JAMS
This was really good to vibe to while writing this week, and it’s got the good bits of lo-fi that I like without that incorrect idea that it necessarily requires a very prominent click-track.
If you made it this far, why not share this newsletter with a friend? Or share with me some of the things that you found that you liked this week. Either way, I’m thrilled!
