I don't know if this will be my forever home, (there are many excellent instances I may end up taking a look at) but for now I'll be hanging out my shingle @paralithode & seeing how it goes! please come say hi💖

#introductions Hi, I'm James–UK #illustrator #mentalhealth struggler #zine fan+ #crab enthusiast. I like noodle soup, I have a broad+extremely trivial knowledge base. @Damage is my primary partner+carer!
Most of my life has been thrown off the standard course by being bedbound for years after I was diagnosed w/severe #CFSME @ 14. I'm better but in the midst of a long #relapse after getting a degree.
Please support my art+writing here! https://www.ko-fi.com/jallandale

Goodnight friends! The wavering air is rich w/sensation. Flowers dessicated in the heat—scents clarified, dense & syrupy. Electric poles bled slow runnels of gooey pitch. What seemed so much like tiny apples continued to redden w/o swelling until they turned glossy near-black, showing themselves as wild cherries, tart & sweet.
Creative self still dissolute & muffled, but slowly regaining myself!
May we choose solidarity & mutual aid w/our fellow people pushed to the margins today, & every day!
Goodnight friends! Incandescent again, a day that felt like endless listless days of childhood summer holidays, & all the birds seemed hushed by the hot air.
I've felt stuck the past few days—someone tried to scam me on illustration licensing. Weasel tactics got their teeth in me, got me angry & ashamed. Childhood leaves barbs in you like velcro; feeling deep old stuff reopened by trivial new interactions. Re-releasing that anger is the hard work of the next few days.
May we find peace today!
Goodnight friends! A browbeaing blaze of glory today. The heat was crystaline, hard & heavy, impossible to escape. Even well after dark the air has a simmering tarmac & dry stone smell of warmth.
I couldn't resist the lure of the full green furnace of june, so we took a walk around the pool. We saw herons—slender & blue-backed above the water, executioners w/modelling side-gigs.
May we see the unique value that we can give to the world today, & believe in our ability to fulfil that potential!

Any advice for someone on a newly formed "diversity council" which includes my boss who is so anti-diversity but believes she is awesome? I feel really stuck. I was personally invited to be part of this group but if my boss is there, I'm not sure I can take part. But I have looked forward to this for the last year and now I'm sad. Thoughts?
Goodnight friends! Summer heat was in full sweltering force. Once succulent, smooth leaves wrinkled & blanched, wild grasses tinged gold. The tiny apples haven't grown at all—but are now a deep, hypnotically lustrous cherry red.
I'm in a slightly strange moment of healing today, where I feel basically recovered but destabilised in some fundamental way, like I'm not quite ready to establish a pattern.
May we find delight in life's slow & meandering paths today, & find rewards in the unexpected!
Goodnight friends! More cloud today than yesterday's crystalline blue, spread thinly across the sky in a uniform translucent gauze, softening the piercing sunlight to something warm but a little melancholic.
Today we went on an unusual outing—to see a community adaptation of the opera Carmen. The biggest impression I came away w/is simple baffled awe at the power of the human voice & the way the singers filled the space+our bodies w/sound.
May we explore new frontiers of learning & love today!
Goodnight friends! A return to the finest form of summer, just as the earth reached the peak of daylight from my european vantage & began its fall into darkness. Near-seamless blue sky scattered w/lost needles of contrail, everything kissed by warmth.
My head is a little clearer again today, & I felt the confidence at last to go fully mobile again. How familiar, & how changed already the trees are!
May we find the compassion & wisdom to recognise the right, & the courage to stand for it today!
Goodnight friends! A little more of a break in the weather, no settled gloom or damp today. Instead moving skies & sun & bluster that made the bright skies exhilarating rather than soporific.
I took advantage of my growing light-tolerance & a more bearable steady, background whine of nausea to get active & outside more—I hung the laundry up outside to whirl & writhe around in the busy air. The special, nurturing joy of housework!
May we find solidarity with those we trust & who trust us today!
having a quick play with the glitch.soc toys, contemplating making a new home over here on pv :'3 thanks for having me!! xoxo

Oh hi, I'm new around here. I draw stuff. Especially #naked people because clothes are too mainstream.
@Damage I want a joust machine instead of a grave marker
All visitors who don't beat my high score are subject to haunting
Thank you for all the faves and bumps on my first post. Here's another drawing I made recently. The theme was "wind".

How should we advertise our college?
YES! ANIMORPHS
Shopping for a headstone? Why not take a look at some bespoke arcade machines too
Rei almost looks concerned for Hammer in this update but really, he just can't afford to lose his first and only line of defense.
