Fuck. Took the day off, and get dropped an email that one of my students' stepbrother was shot last night and may not make it. This kid was a total knucklehead last year and the year before but he's really turned himself around this year. I feel so bad for him.

Slightly diminish a book... The Manslaughterbot Diaries.

Took a day off to take care of my 85 year old FiL while MiL at chemo. Came back this morning to stuff stolen off my desk, from my shelves, and from my first aid kit. I feel betrayed. Worse? I have more days off coming for the same reason and all I'll be thinking about is a repeat of yesterday.

No question.

After about a year off from painting much, printed a Gar by @pipermakes.bsky.social for my T'au proxy army. Still gotta print the other of the pair.

Post an image from a game you played as a teenager:

Ten years ago today, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died, kicking off one of the greatest crimes committed against democracy when Mitch McConnell invented a pretense to deny President Obama a nominee, and everyone in power and media just shrugged and acted like he could do that.

School librarian having a Valentine's Day competition thingie, and one of the categories is to design a book cover. No entries at all so far... so i banged this out thus afternoon to juice the pot.

Hey guys! Drawing extreme angle moufs is the bane of my existence so i made a mouth model for CSP ^_^ see reply for links!

Just added these new X-Men: Rogue & Gambit, Power Man & Iron Fist, Ghost Rider, and Alvin and the Chipmunks’ Alvin and Brittany pieces to my Big Cartel store. If anyone’s interested, the store link is in my bio.

But these fascists, like many fascists and other authoritarians, confuse the pageantry of violence for power - they imagine that the state with armed men walking the streets is strong. But only a weak government needs to put armed men in the streets to exert power. A strong government has no need.

The mini Gate Crushers is finally complete ! I added the Aromantic pride Terminator and the Asexual Dreadnought to the base, bringing that whole crew to 12 minis on a 40mm base. Very happy with the overall result. Now I can go back painting standard size space marines :')

Someone in my circles recently brought up a quote about Hope from the comic Freefall. I'd seen the quote before, but not known the source. Part of the conversation turned to recent political cartoons depicting Liberty. I thought of Watts' painting of Hope. So I drew a version of Hope... #hope

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42 and post the second sentence.

Doodling around with an @adorkastock.com pose!

Did you know that there's a queer version of the hidden FedEx arrow?

Fuuuuuck. Toothache so bad...

Hey, that's my death knight's name! What? I should prepurchase WoW: Midnight? Hmmm...

QRP with wing art? Was going thru a rough time with this one. Kinda glad I never finished it.

"It was beautiful and terrible, fragile and ancient. [...] It was... kind of glorious, I suppose. It was all lost when that world was destroyed. The universe got smaller and less interesting. Turns out, I prefer my universe big." tfwiki.net/wiki/Escape_... #WeekendTFQuote

this is making the rounds on facebook so i thought id bring it here for u m'lord

Some of my characters from City of Heroes. Counterweight, with her yellow and black uniform down around her shoulders, leans in for a kiss with Horizon Twilight, my Warshade main.

Make a Bond movie casual? Octovulva. (I struggled with this one so hard...)

Dean Martin, born Dino Paul Crocetti, son of Italian immigrant Gaetano Crocetti Frank Sinatra, son of Italian immigrants Antonino Sinatra and Natalina Garavanta Merry Christmas to everyone except Stephen Miller and his enablers and handlers

Woke up with double charlie horses. Surprise motherfucker!

Finally in a state of mind to draw, tonight! A couple of my COH heroes getting some alone time.

My FiL wanted my brined turkey for his Bday in Sept. Everyone wanted it for Thxgiving. We received another turkey this past week, already defrosted. I think I'm turkeyed out.

Was on my smart board demonstrating how to save a picture to upload it elsewhere. At random I chose the imdb pic for one of the Kpop Demon Hunters VAs. Knucklehead student hollers out, "Is that a trans?!" I shoot back, "You wouldn't know a trans person if they smacked you." Sigh.

It's a shame I can't find socials for Rossi; I went to the Science Museum in Houston this weekend and a patron was extremely happy to notice me fangirling over the Dimetrodon they had there, and when he engaged me in convo was even more delighted that I knew it was a synapsid. @blizzardwatch.com

/3 I am informed it’s normal to get more intolerant as I get older and I think I am absolutely getting less tolerant of other people’s absolute bullshit.

So... we have off on the 31st. I was part of the committee that made this calendar, we specifically set it up to have off for the 31st to avoid all the drama that comes with students coming to school in costumes. So the (new) admin schedules the 30th to be "wear your costumes" day. Well...

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.
