I am very snowed in. I dug my car out and, as I did so, I watched several people fail to traverse the hill I live on.

also. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!! I am about to go dress up for no reason and eat candy because it is free candy day.

Not only would I say it exactly like that, I would also make a #short about it and use it to promote the episode. Sorry (not sorry) @melo.graphics ! Join us tomorrow night @ 6pm PT | 9pm ET for the LIVE PREMIERE on our YouTube Page. Go ahead and subscribe while you're at it.

Normally I don't make a short that is just the intro of the episode but @melo.graphics killed it with this one. There is more to it as well. SEE YOU THERE! 🎥 LIVE PREMIERE: Tomorrow @ 6pm PT | 9pm ET

do the thing! Watch the short-y short. Please and thank you.

Your daily reminder that Trump absolutely can fund SNAP through contingency funds. He absolutely can prevent 42 million Americans — including 20 million children — from going hungry next month. He is choosing not to. Don’t let him lie his way out of this.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving: $100 billion Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%: $100 billion One is decried as "welfare." One is not. Why?

I'm really excited about this episode because we go over so much great information and give you the tools to help you use every color in your crayon box with more confidence.

This WEEKEND! Have you ever wondered why color just doesn't work the way you'd like it to? Or how to make your color choices accessible? Or why color doesn't print the way it appears on your screen? If so, this is the episode for you. #ArtInq

This is a fantastic episode and, believe me, I have really checked. It marks my #video #editing debut! #Color #theory is one of my all time favorite subjects. @melo.graphics & I break it down in a fun way and, in our usual fashion, we did a #co-host #challenge as well! See you there!

I made a heavy armor look in ESO (heavy armor is something I almost always avoid in elder scrolls games but I wanted to try it out) for this contest, and it was featured as an honorable mention! Not bad for someone who just started to play again. Check it out!

AHHHHH!!! MY CAR IS ON THE WAY!! They're running EARLY! EARLY I SAY!

This may be a tint of pettiness on my part, but these are shades.

@art-inquiry.com creates extremely high resolution files. Editing for the latest episode just taught me about proxies. I managed to set up the cameras in their frames, recreating it using the asset files @melo.graphics developed from our awesome design. #MadebyMELO #CreatedByCat #ArtInq #Editing

HOLY F'ING CRAP. I just bought a car on the frikken internet.

You all don't know how much I need this today. @dimension20.bsky.social is a load-bearing structure propping up my mental health (among other things, for sure)

Yesterday was the last day to qualify for the EV tax credit. Tariffs have driven costs up. I still have to buy a car. So I am combing through my finances looking for stray money, hoping I can cut yet more things to afford a car payment and insurance costs.

I was never a huge dice roller in TTRPG. We always used the rule of cool ... but it's situations like this, the gamble of it all, the meme of Murph never rolling well .... I love live play. 💜💜💜💜

So, here's the thing. I'm probably going to impulse buy a car on Carvana

Repeat after me, self. We will not impulse buy a car on Carvana. We will NOT impulse buy a car on Carvana.

I would really like to work on my project for this #ArtInqMe prompt tonight. I am a little scared of it, though. It is a self-portrait, and I definitely won't look my best. On the bright side, the exhaustion and pain from the work week might enhance the look and help convey the message.

This was a very mechanics heavy combat/building episode. It never ceases to amaze me how everyone can keep all the mechanics in mind and how the art team has a mini for every conceivable circumstance. I bet this show is both stressful and so much fun to make.

Btw, did anyone get captured? Just out of idle curiosity, you understand.

Murph's response, "YOU are a dewy boy" is just one of the 30,000 reasons I look forward to this show every week.

We had a great @art-inquiry.com meeting this weekend. @melo.graphics set up a whole new scenario for our website and I am pleased to report that it is going live pretty soon (I'll let y'all know). I'll give you one hint about the next ep: I had to make sure my hair was freshly dyed for this one.

I did not know there was a word for this, and I am thrilled to find that out!

I have an idea that is pretty good for this prompt, but I have to figure out how/where to shoot it. I either need 2 locations, OR I need to commit to photo manipulations (as I am writing this, I think option B will work better) #ArtInqMe Artist Prompt from @jmackent.bsky.social 's episode.

Off the Charts starts NOW! :) See you there!

Soon soon soon!

and now -- this!

This is going to be a spectacular episode and I can't wait!

There are so many amazing moments from this upcoming episode so be prepared for a clip-a-palooza because I just couldn't pick only a few. :)

Would anyone like to help my friend get Affiliate on Twitch? They already did the hard part with streaming and concurrent viewers,all they need is a few more follows. Head over to twitch.tv/lepusvision and check out some past broadcasts to see if it's your vibe, then drop a quick follow!

I've been sick and let myself play as much ESO as I could sit up for, and it was luxurious. This was the bright side of being so sick. I retreated into a fantasy world for a decently long time. Now, I am feeling slightly better and looking around at what I ignored. Can I just go back in?

If you don't know Kitties, go meet kitties! Stop in and do !Kofi in her stream to help if you have a few extra dollars lying around. Please and thank you.

Dictatorship. This used to be something America fought against. We used to stand for the people, at least in theory. But I think all those tropes we learned in school were just that -- theory. The older I get, the more I realize the theory of freedom hasn't applied much in my lifetime.

If any of you think I am not going to take a quest from a fancy box in an Aylied ruin, then you don't know me well at all.

On the bright side, not being able to talk means easily letting go of work frustrations because they aren't worth addressing when communication is more difficult than usual.

This was worth the wait! A lot of lore dropped last night, and we got some excellent roleplay too.

One of my work tasks is to handle price changes. I've tracked some key items such as personal care items, OTC medicines, etc... Things people need, things it was already expensive to buy & things people want for improved quality of life. Just about everything has gone up by multiple dollars.

I have been wondering all week if I have been feeling so meh because I didn't get my full episode of D20 last week. But that is a lot to put on the intrepid heroes and the d20 crew, so I'll just say I am excited for the next full episode tonight!
