Yes I am trying to do payment processing admin that's urgent while I'm on painkillers from cramps (3rd day now - I'm having a lovely time)

EDIT: Thanks for the help!
I have now, once again done my documentation as a Custom High Risk Adult, but this time, in the UK

I'm gonna go get a hot waterbottle refill now...

"I would just like to take a moment and say: God bless assault and battery"

Only my husband would come home from work - LITERALLY skipping and clapping - having just been attacked in the classroom by a kid He's *delighted*. The kid had two other staff members drag him out. My husbeard continued teaching the class Jesus christ

Well, at least it wasn't the same kid that threatened to "chef him up"

@eishiya Yes! Exactly. Just people having a chat, maying showing some pics from their day to day life - talking about what coffee they just had. You know, what the old people used to do on the internet before algorithms happened XD

I'm really happy they talked about blogs and newsletters - and heck, I'll even take the mention of Bluesky (even though they said it was "a smaller space"), but was a bit sad that Masto didn't get a mention at all.

This is really the least stressful place for me to post publicly. No ads, no algorithm, people are generally chill, lots of people use CWs, and there is SO MUCH SHITPOSTING HERE. This really is a blessed space!

"One thing that I loved about early social media was this peek into people's lives that wasn't so curated"

"Yeah what I miss in this scenario is not just people casually posting their lives but like, intellectual people casually having conversations in public - like the academics, the researchers, the policy people, were all chattering out loud in a much less guarded way"

"The intimacy that social media promised is gone, it's vanishing in front of us"

Watching a video interview about The Death Of Casual Posting, and it's interesting so far! No mention of Mastodon or Fedi so far, halfway through the vid.

Tfw you're deep in the cramps/period hell and you check your cycle tracker - only to see that the next cycle is predicted to be right on your 40th birthday next month

Let's fucking hope that doesn't mess anything up!

Sorry for silence today - cramps lol woo let's goooo

It's also funny how I can see proper evidence that unless I'm actively posting or live streaming to promote my comics/art, my shop will just go to sleep
It's what happens when you don't have a publisher to promo you, or any presence in any brick and mortar shops, I guess!

I'll try to be more present for the rest of the week, but really need to catch up on work! Ahjsjdhjd

Hmmm why do I feel exhausted, crampy, sick and like I want to watch the world bur-- *checks period tracker*

Ah that makes sense.

HAPPY WORKING AS USUAL, BUT WITH HOT WATERBOTTLE WEDNESDAY.

Not gonna lie, I do really like making a to-do list and then editing it with little green ticks whenever I've done something

Now it's just packing and posting left - in between comics and commissions. Sorry for the relative silence - this is my proper catch up month!

️️ GOOD MORNING HAPPY MONDAY ADMIN DAY ️️ (I'm trying to psych myself up to do non-drawing stuff, can you tell)

IT'S TIME TO:
️Pack sales
️Go to the post office
️Answer Emails
️Answer Kickstarter DMs

That uk gov emergency test really did shit me up

I've been looking forward to this page in By Man & Angels issue 5 since I read the script ages ago

Posted the tentacle porn art (with process pics and the original for sale as usual) over on my studio
