Organizing the old CC drawings and just noticed the last one I drew and posted was entry #420, because of course it was.
That's... probably what I'm going to do, now that I've said it. I have a lot of time off next week, I'll use that to try and figure things out.
The sad thing is, and I know I'm looking at outliers rather than averages, but I wouldn't even have to do *that well* to make more off streaming than my current day job. It's tempting to at least give it a shot but my past failures on things like Patreon vis a vis acquiring subscribers makes me hesitant about putting in the effort.
On the other hand, Critter Compendium continues to gain followers and I haven't updated that in over a year. Maybe I should just bring that back and stream the drawing sessions. :/

... Oh, I get it now
Rory McGrath, there we go
Listening to Rory Bremner on a podcast thinking I had disliked from other things, but I was thinking of someone else entirely and now I have no idea which British comedian I have beef with
I feel like I'm going through an entirely different ecosystem when I take this route.

Ahh yeah, getting my social interaction awkwardness out of the way bright and early today 😎 All the more time to internalize and obsess over my mistakes, nice
I never really looked at the FOX/Disney deal, are xenomorphs Disney princesses now
.. wait, who owns the Alien rights now?
Temps in the low-to-mid 80s for the next two weeks, please let this winter truly be dead 😥
LRB, I know Rat Queens is anathema now, but at least for memories of that first run Braga is still real important to me as a trans character who was allowed to be, for lack of a better term but one I'm happy to own, monstrous without sacrificing that femininity that was if nothing else the spark of representation that I could see myself in that got me started on transitioning.
The thing is, the powerlifter body-type tends to be very bulky, with a bit of tummy.
I mean, that's not the only body type to it, but that's the more traditional body type - a rectangular frame more than an hourglass or triangular frame.
And that's a big deal to me. The muscle, the bulk, it's all just - yeah. It's not a "traditional" "feminine" look, and I love that.
I love that there are women out there that are both feminine and bulky.
There's a sort of narrative that to get into weightlifting you need to either "maintain a feminine body-type" or be hyper-masc and it's really inspiring to me that there are women out there proving that's not the case.
I am just.. hyperacutely aware of the half a tray of hummus in the fridge right now :v
