You know, every now and then I wondered how you were so productive... I think I found out and I'm not sure it's worth it

NGL at this point sometimes it’s just to enjoy peoples’ reactions :D 

So, for a long time I couldn’t drink anything more caffeinated than a Diet Coke, because I had a minor medical condition that would cause me to get super bad headaches if I had too much caffeine. I had the condition fixed about ten years ago, but because I didn’t drink coffee or non-herbal tea for most of my twenties, I never really developed a taste for coffee, and I’m a morning person so I rarely need the caffeine. 

But it occurred to me a few years ago that I could drink caffeine now, and that in the mornings that might once in a while be super helpful. So on days when I’m struggling to pay attention to, well, everything, or on evenings when I’ll be up later than usual, I mix up the diet-coke-and-coffee brew and go to town. 

For me, the fact that it’s mostly Diet Coke covers the bitterness of the coffee, while the jolt of caffeine from the coffee is sufficient to get me going. I actually quite like the taste at this point. It’s mostly sweet with a little edge, like dark chocolate. The foam is very sweet and creamy, like milk foam on a latte. 

I used to make it with coffee from the work coffeepot, iced and poured into a mug of soda. Now I just buy cans of iced coffee from the bodega and use those. I’ve found that Starbucks Doubleshot Espresso Salted Caramel is ideal both in terms of flavor and caffeine content, and one can will last me through 3-4 beverages. 

You’re quite welcome, though I may not be the best person to ask.

@greer-art does some illustrations for museums, zines and such and could possibly point you in the right direction.

@shinydinosaurkingdom did some animation work for me in this Pegasus Video as a sort of portfolio piece.

I expect you will need some sort of portfolio, it seems important for most artistic types in general, but in terms of who to approach and how to start, you’d need to ask an artist type person. I can barely draw a kidney.

LOVE drawing Isaiah. His hair is really fun to draw and my favorite part of his design :) also love his smile! Avery and Saifi are also fun to draw

@doberbutts ah, I've seen puppies like that before- when they don't have a litter to socialise with, they never learn how to play. Hope pupper had some good chewing time in their safe zone.

Oh yes, Pooch was a... weird dog, for sure. Also the only family dog that bit me when I was a kid (twice! both my fault) and one of the reasons I didn’t like dogs growing up. I found her hard to read, moody, boring, and a general stick in the mud. And in some ways, that’s absolutely fair. But, knowing what I know about her early life, and what I know about how critical socialization periods are especially during young infancy, I can’t really blame her either. She tolerated the other dogs in the house well enough, but never wanted to interact with them. If you leashed her, she’d go on a walk with you sure, but there was always this feeling that she’d rather be home than out. Let her into the yard and she’d go do her business and then come back into the house, no interest in doing anything else out there and the reason we didn’t have a fence until we got my hellspawn Queenie :’D

But now I understand why she was Like That, and why my parents were so adamant to let her just... do whatever she wanted. She didn’t want to do anything, so letting her sit behind the chair and chew her bone was the best we could give her at a happy life.

Ironically, out of our three GSDs, Pooch lived the longest. She died at 12 years old from liver cancer. And chewed her bone behind dad’s chair until the day we said goodbye.

Why not both!!
