I'd been asked for my address for this thing so it wasn't a COMPLETE left field but what I thought I was getting was like a download card or a...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Ups and downs and ups and downs. I’ve had plenty of sicknesses and such throughout life that have caused significant downtime, misery, hospitalization, immobility etc - but what’s driving me fucking batshit bonkers about this long covid is how I’ll...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop OK so I know this feels moot at this point but like. Covid? Covid's got hands??

In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Back from April Fool antics, thank you to all digimon fans who did not crucify me for speaking ill of agumon, and to those of you who did? I forgive you. Thurs 04/02/2026 - Komala Anyway yesterday was a hit of RNG and we got the blue koala! I think...
A bummer post about politics, insidious "good news only" accounts and being racially perceived in 2026 (a few good cat photos though) This morning I realized I haven't done a non-pokemon post on this blog in a while, and mostly I can attribute that to work having been chaotic but then I got sick and I frankly didn't...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon digimon every day until I stop Weds 04/01/2026 - Agumon Picked this one up via a random pokemon generator, what the hell gen is this from? Looks like a store brand charmander smdh art pokemon daily-dex
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Man, the covid still going strong. I'm back at work partially (I'm remote, not exposing anyone) and it's just brutal how much even sitting at a desk for a few hours is exhausting, and I don't currently have the option to take any more time off...
