Inspired by Greg Pak to do a piece for #NoKings ... did it kinda woodcut style and now thinking I might just get some MDF tomorrow and start carving...

Ugh. Our gradebook software was down for upgrades all weekend. Came in early to put in progress report grades, as next grading period starts tomorrow; we have a work day today. Gradebook is closed :(

@hyvemynd.bsky.social sorry, gurl, my wife is cheering in the living room.

Picked up the MCP core set this weekend. Dangit, now I have to create a whole bunch more terrain, since the scale is different. However will I survive?

This part of a doodle I'm working on for a Discord I'm in looks suspiciously like @zoewithasword.bsky.social ... I swear it wasn't on purpose.

just sold my first of these sculptures i’m using as substrates for epiphytes… so excited to make more!! The sculpture itself is made from reclaimed telephone and stereo wires and Teflon tape. More on the philosophy behind the work on my site: www.kalliopimonoyios.com/home/pattern...

So *that* happened. Fuck.

Night Sky on Mars #nasadailyupdates

End of the first full week of school, and partway thru the day I'm pretty sure I have covid. A bunch of our students are out with it; a bunch of our students are here but have family members out with it; a bunch were out with it for a single or for only two days and came back. I feel like death.

Found a half finished drawing of my #CityOfHeroes main, Horizon Twilight, and decided to finish it off. Might redo it from scratch later if I can wrestle my ADHD under control... but its the first drawing I've been able to finish in weeks so that's something.

Grasp, based off the Pillars of Creation photo taken by the Hubble telescope in the 90s

Finally, I can post this video I've been hanging on to since somebody sent it to me.

Here ya go:

@dropout.tv My (autistic) daughter caught me watching Game Changer last week and has now made the Rulette episode her fixation; she's been watching it on repeat every. Single. Day. And acting out the rules (though she's editing her language 😀). Thanks, Sam and crew!

It's weird. I kinda *felt* my ADHD/Autism shift focus. All day today I've been feeling listless and all of a sudden I felt the desire to draw again after weeks and weeks of miniatures terrain.

kitsune tails is queer furry super mario bros 3, with a big mid-game twist to both the story and mechanics. it also has aro/ace representation, *and* allows players to make and share their own levels and even minigames via steam workshop. available on steam and itch via kitsunegames.com/kitsunetails

Oh, and a rainbow, on the last day of Pride Month, even. Take one's good signs where one may, I say.

Wife bought me a display unit from a store going out of business to put my miniatures in... Still need to get them nicely arranged but super happy with what's happening! #miniatures

The lizard that lives on my stoop lost its tail, poor thing. Better than getting carried away by a bird, though.

1/2 Most of the time, the use of over the top words like "terrifying" just makes the author look like a crank, but in this case, it could very well be justified. Memory of what was written was virtually nonexistent and brain connectivity collapsed by 47%. Read the thread. x.com/itsalexvacca...

Took the DSLR out to see if I could photograph my arachnid copilot and it turns out there are two of them! #spider #jumpingspider #invertebrate

The little gray-green jumping spider that lives in the moulding line along the top of my car's windshield is still there, They come out when I drive around - which is rarely in the summer.

A sign sighted at a Rhode Island #nokings rally. I definitely can get behind this.

But when I asked why he still comes when it dredges such painful memories, "Because I have to."

@laloalcaraz.bsky.social for more protest sign ideas

I think I finally have enough #wargame terrain for a game of #onepagerules Grimdark Firefight (their sci-fi skirmish game)... and strat cards & unit cards & deployment cards & orders cards and... Stormpride Sisters from DakkaDakka; Plague Marines from GW of course. Printed terrain from Warlayer.

All this protest stuff going on reminds me of being taught in the SCA how easy it is to make a coat-of-plates, which is fairly effective simple body armor...

Just had a visitor on my porch. Judging from the droppings nearby it's a popular hangout.

Mother... fucker... I'm gonna cry myself to sleep tonight.

@maegodhavemercy.com Was super keen seeing a new ep of Dolly Pop today!

I want to start something new. Every Friday, I want to feature HUMAN creatives and what you've made. So if you're an author, artist, musician or any other type of creative, drop your links below so we can buy your human made art. #HumanMadeArt Image source: hinokodo.itch.io/human-made

whenever i encounter people who say they can't understand shakespeare verses I always send them this clip from the 2019 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing

Susie's the type that's actually annoyed it's the weekend already.

😱 Scary or cute? 🥹 Spider pattern on my gumroad. [ #spider #jumpingspider #plush #plushie #plushart #cuteart #sewing]

I love this with all my heart

So. School's out. Done dishes, pulled apart bathroom sink and fixed it, troubleshot toilet prob, cleaned painting area, did laundry, baked bread... and can't think of anything I _want_ to do.

Tried something with some Necron proxies and they ended up looking like SecUnits.

Happy Glorious 25th, everyone. How do all the angels rise up, indeed. 💜 GNU, Sire Terry, we miss you. Keep the signal circulating, always.

"Overhead, a lilac tree was in bloom. He stared. Damn! Damn! Damn! Every year he forgot. Well, no. He never forgot. He just put the memories away, like old silverware that you didn't want to tarnish. And every year they came back, sharp and sparkling, and stabbed him in the heart." GNU TP

Welp, this is it. The last day in my classroom til after Summer Break. The walls are bare, chairs stacked, everything that makes an empty room into an art classroom is in storage (except for some of the rubber ducks glued to my ceiling). It feels so... sterile.

@pistolshrimpgames.com some friends and I were talking about the captain names of the various races, and are stumped about the Human ship captain, Belt. All the others are references but we can't noodle that one. Any chance of a revelation?

C64, then my father bought me an IBM machine. I made him take it back; he brought me a C128D after that. Served me well until it was time for an Amiga. Ultima 4 and 5 were _the_ shit on the C64.

TIL: When the Original Star Wars Trilogy finally aired on Chilean TV in 2003, the network spliced custom beer commercials into the films themselves to avoid cutting to commercial breaks. these additional scenes turn Obi-Wan & Luke into raging space alcoholics who are constantly shotgunning booze.

Apologies to anyone checking out my feed today. It's the very last day of school and the students are acting like savages.

yelena

show us your favorite character designs you've made My favorites kinda change over time, but I have a few that I return to again and again. There are some other chars people love, but I can only post four at a time here.

@lizdye.bsky.social Good to see the DOJ is working hard today to make sure you guys have plenty of content over the next weeks.
