the GREAT PATREON SMUSH
I was going to make an advertisement for this with bright colors and maybe animated sparkles but 1) I hate making ads and 2) we are all so exhausted by bright ads vying for our brain chemicals that I just don’t want to do that to you anymore!!!! I’m TIRED of things grabbing for my attention in an unending assault on my senses and I’m sure you are too!!!!!!!
if you’ve been doom-scrolling and need a break (a nice beverage, a stretch of the legs, etc.), take this as a sign to do so now. if you’ve got the energy for a little reading, though, and want to learn about my work - keep going!
ANYWAYS I’ll get to the point: ALL of my patreon benefits are now available to the lowest ($3) tier.
in fact, there ARE no other tiers anymore. they’re gone! scrunched! smunshed! stirred up all together into one big super tier soup of everything I offer now and will offer in the future!
everyone now gets:
over 100 4k desktop wallpapers
early access/wips
25% discounts on prints
livestream voice chat
art votes & art suggestions
commission slots
and access to the Art Grotto discord, a friendly and chill server with a small community of creative folks. we share art, writing, pets, memes, and also come up with fun art ideas together! 🌈
why am I smushing the tiers and giving up the higher pledge amounts?!
because capitalism sucks, we’re in a recession, and I’m lucky enough to have a full-time job that allows me to make art without being reliant on Patreon income. anyone who has sat in on one of my livestreams knows that I try to be a calming force in an often-chaotic world, and that I’m always looking for ways to make art more accessible to everyone. I want my Patreon to be a place where I can give back to those who are supporting me in this mission!
this tier smush is just the start of how I hope to transform this space! I have a bunch of fun ideas about stuff I want to do in the future, so keep an eye out for more announcements like this 👁
that’s all!!!! thank you if you’ve read this far, and here’s the link to the Patreon if any of this interested you!

CAN I SEE YOUR TURTLE??
YEAH! This is Skittles, she's a red eared slider. we keep her here in the tank at work. maintenance found her in the drain at the pool when they opened it for the season last year . (we've had three in total, always found at the pool, and once they get too big we release them into the lake when it's warm enough)
I'm mainly the one who takes care of her (our HR lady cleans the tank, i feed her and get her out of the tank to explore every other day). occasionally i show up at work on my days off to make sure they've fed her and stuff. i like putting her in Situations for enrichment, this week i put her on a tech deck for the first time (she does better with it on the carpet instead of the concrete)

sildes into your inbox while doing chinhands. on a scale of 1 - 10, where would you put makhali's mad engineer rating? and if she was in a modern education system, what would be her specialty?
Ooooo rubbing my little hands together >:3
Makhali would put the mad in mad engineer. Her usual solution to Allagan tech related woes is percussive maintenance, and she doesn't generally do more beyond that besides bringing the malfunctioning node to one of her engineer friends and giving them sad puppy dog eyes to fix it. I'll give her a 4 for spirit, but her lack of knowledge would make anyone with even a passing understanding of mechanical engineering cringe. The scrolling pages of error text make her eyes glaze over, the poor thing.
In a more modern education system, my first thought is physical education, since she's very much in tune with how her body moves and is very athletic. If we're only talking about more mental fields, I can definitely see her being in botany or biology. She doesn't have the greatest memory, but she has a talent for animal care and growing plants that would translate well to a field position. I think she would enjoy integrating the newest technological advances to her work, like she'd be the kind of person with a greenhouse filled to the brim with sensors and automatic watering cycles. Her plant talent is relatively unknown, even by her friends, and is mostly on display in her house in Gridania - like in her bath!

Creating an Oasis: Designing Your Smart Indoor Gardening System
Transform your living space into a lush oasis of greenery and tranquility with a carefully designed smart indoor gardening system. Explore the key elements to consider when designing your indoor garden and discover how to create a harmonious and thriving environment for your plants.
Choosing the Right System: Selecting the perfect Smart Indoor Gardening System is the first step in creating your oasis. Consider factors such as size, style, and functionality to find a system that fits seamlessly into your home.
Whether you opt for a countertop herb garden, a vertical hydroponic setup, or a fully automated indoor greenhouse, choose a system that suits your space and gardening preferences.
Selecting Plants and Layout
Once you've chosen your system, it's time to select the plants that will inhabit your indoor garden. Consider factors such as light requirements, growth habits, and aesthetic appeal when choosing your greenery.
Experiment with different plant combinations and layouts to create visual interest and balance in your indoor garden, incorporating a mix of herbs, vegetables, and ornamental plants to suit your tastes.
Optimizing Light and Environmental Conditions
Light is essential for plant growth, so it's important to ensure that your indoor garden receives adequate illumination. Assess the natural light conditions in your home and supplement as needed with artificial lighting.
Position your indoor garden near windows or under grow lights to provide your plants with the optimal amount of light for healthy growth, and monitor environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity to create a comfortable and conducive environment.
Customizing Your System
Personalize your smart indoor gardening system to reflect your unique style and preferences. Add decorative elements such as planters, trellises, and decorative accents to enhance the visual appeal of your indoor garden.
Incorporate smart features such as automated watering systems, nutrient monitors, and remote control capabilities to streamline maintenance and ensure the health and vitality of your plants.
Creating a Maintenance Routine
Regular maintenance is key to keeping your indoor garden thriving. Develop a maintenance routine that includes tasks such as watering, pruning, and fertilizing to keep your plants healthy and happy.
Set reminders or schedule automated tasks to stay on top of maintenance chores, and take time to observe and interact with your plants to monitor their progress and address any issues that arise.
Designing your smart indoor gardening system is an opportunity to create a personalized oasis that brings beauty, tranquility, and vitality into your home. By carefully selecting plants, optimizing environmental conditions, and customizing your system to suit your style and preferences, you can create an indoor garden that nourishes the body, mind, and soul.
