Thanks, I guess. I think this is intended as a compliment but I have a lot of feelings about getting this kind of feedback, and I get it quite a bit.

Most people who want me to draw or make them something don’t want to pay me. That hurts me a lot, it hurts my sense of worth and value, and it hurts my financially.

I can’t draw a lot right now. When I do draw, it’s for personal work/ development or to get paid. I can’t afford to draw things for everybody even if I want to because my body won’t let me.

I’m sorry if I’m turning a nice compliment into a ranting point or something but I’m feeling really useless right now, because it feels like people have so little regard for my value so often and because I am fucked up by my disabilities.

This is probably not the answer you expected. I’m so sorry. I want to draw everyone, but I want to be able to make a living while being disabled.

I’m sorry.

I’m so sorry it was a hard day for you. Biggest ehugs for if you need them.

i took this as them saying they do want to pay you, they just don’t have the money. i hope that’s what they meant.

I think it’s the case, I do.

I am just pretty fucked up about money and self worth and my work, it is an issue that frequently upsets me.

You can’t really see here, but I applied extra blush because I know I’ll sweat it all off.

james and mr. puddy

-oceantrousers

Mr. Puddy is the cutest name for a cat. Other good names for pets are ones that are entirely incongruous with the idea of being an animal. Here is a list. Feel free to add.

Jonathan

Richard

Larry

Gordon

Tony

Julie

Melissa

Steven

Paul

Phillip

Cute Boys With Cats are my best morning wake up.

100% in agreement with the people-names-for-animals movement. might i suggest:

Clive

Craig

Susan

Carol

Barry

Nicholas

Kev (not Kevin)

i’m also really behind nobility titles as pet names, e.g. The Baroness

I have always been a proponent of human names for pets.

Ages ago I wanted a cat named Richard.

If Miffy wasn’t called Missy, I would have renamed her Bev or something. I just worried she wouldn’t answer to a name that didn’t sound like her original name. Then again, we don’t know if her original name was Missy. So like, ugh opportunity missed.

Miffy therefore has a new middle name.

Miffy Muffet Moonpig Bev Perkins.

I kind of ranted a little about “casual” on my blog.

Marlboro decimal currency converter

[from the Australian Decimal Changeover archives]

When Australia changed to decimal currency from pounds, shillings and pence on February 14th 1966 many organisations, banks and retailers distributed charts and tables to help ease the public through the transition.

Not content with a simple table to convert the total sum of your purchases made, the Marlboro tobacco company went that extra step further.

Protruding the top of the cigarette packet shaped card are three movable cigarettes. Below this hidden in the packet design are numbers that magically change. As seen left above the converter sits at 0-0. Move the cigarettes up and 2 pence equals 2 cents (above middle), then 10 shillings equals one dollar (above right).

The reverse of this converter is a handy calendar of November 1965-October 1966.

I hate how it feels like sticking up for myself and being a jerk are the same thing.
