It’s a bear. Finding the right rendering style for the fur took me a while, but I‘m so happy how it turned out. It’s one of the patreon stickers for this month and will also be a print later. #animalart #feralart

Because I'm the main person at work who deals with X system my boss decided that I'm the person to babysit the top to bottom revamp of X system. 1) I don't need this 2) I don't want this 3) I don't have time for this 4) I don't remotely have the skills to manage a project like this.

Just learned that "passing"/"presenting" (race) and "passing"/"presenting" (gender) have opposite meanings, which is good to know but is also a mouth I expect to put my foot in at some point in the future.

I don't think Netflix should get to eat anything else until it finishes all the prematurely cancelled shows on its plate

My friend Anna is trying to raise funds to end the dental pain she has suffered for years. She's just about given up hope. Socar has had this procedure so knows how much pain Anna is in, and how much this helped. www.gofundme.com/f/please-hel...

Build-A-Bear employees are officially UNIONIZING 🎉

Every day I log in and am served a fresh slice of psychic damage from some new tech push for genAI

I've had a few bad luck run-ins recently with my Build-A-Bear archiving and it's really been such a downer. It's hard to articulate the exact feeling of a source you used to have vanishing from the internet in a way that is completely beyond your control and could not be prevented.

Now that dogs can be nominated for film awards do you think dog breeders will start to recognize animal acting as a valid purpose for breeding movieweb.com/canine-star-...

If you always wanted to get the caniform tee or turn your room into pink yeen aesthetic, now’s the chance ✨ You know the drill, discounts in every store. You deserve something cute, dude ⛓️👇

I feel like this might be a scorching hot take but is the IWTV TV show like... Shockingly un-erotic to anyone else? Even when the characters are in sexual relationships with each other it feels like none of them want to fuck.

Spoilers for Stranger Things end of S3 and S4 this spoiler warning is for my parents because I don't know how far they've watched (though I also have no idea if they'll see this anyways??)

Spoiler free Stranger Things reaction thread, starting with a few of the reactions I had before I had the idea to make this thread:

It's crazy how much your perception on age differences changes over time. When I was watching Sweeney Todd in high school my perception of Jamie Campbell Bower was that he was WAY older than me, so looking him up now I expected him to be in his 40s, but he's 37?? He's 5 years older than me??

KPDH has an slightly astonishing number of lyrics that would make good registered dog names. KN Gonna Be Golden, KN We're Goin' Up, KN I'm Done Hiding, KN Born To Be, KN Kkeuteopsi On Stage, KN I'mma Gear Up, KN My Soda Pop, etc etc etc

Dreamed I was wearing a cat fursuit head (only head, no other parts) to Aberacon 2026. Truly inexplicable behavior on dream me's part considering I could make bearselfsuit OR squirrelsonasuit instead.

Heard a RADWIMPS song I'd never heard before on a Facebook reel, instantly clocked it as RADWIMPS, and sprinted to Spotify to recreate the setlist for the concert I was lucky enough to attend almost exactly a decade ago.

A BUNCH OF BEARS #art

One of the cool things about being a scientist is that the answer "I don't know" to a question is actually super exciting and not embarrassing at all. It means you get to try and FIND OUT, either through literature search, asking a colleague, or deciding you want to determine the answer empirically

BREAKING: Federal immigration agents will expand enforcement action in North Carolina to Raleigh as soon as Tuesday, Mayor Janet Cowell says.

Got the restaurant info for work Christmas party and it's like 9/10 my worst nightmare. I very explicitly wanted to know the restaurant in advance so I can plan but it's a fancy fucking tapas place where the menu changes often so they just have an "example menu" on the website.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics" guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

Baby pigeon mystery. My pigeon book is here: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/rosem...

The one thing I don't like about my job is the weekly meetings with bossager (🐦). I always feel like I'm skulking into a parent teacher conference to discuss my report card.

Don't forget to squish your Squishy! 🐻 ❤️ 🐻‍❄️ #BearHybridArt

A lot of people who aren't in either Build-A-Bear or archival spaces mistake my passion for archiving Build-A-Bear as a fervent love for the company, which always makes me laugh a little bit.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Just saw someone refer to Mira KPDH as a tomboy and I can't stop thinking about this scene from the Good Place.

Waking up on November 6 is always such a treat. It's Stranger Things day, my favourite Build A Bear's birthday, and I also get to backread Americans reminiscing on canon Destiel superhell day.

Cozy season is upon us! What could be more cozy than a blanket featuring this snoozing bear? I have this + 4 other designs at www.albaillustration.com/original-art... They are 100% cotton, machine washable, + made in the US. Gift them, throw them over your bed or couch, or hang them on the wall! 🐻

Sneak peek!! These are still warm from the kiln 🔥 Shop update Saturday November 8th

Do you ever look back on your life and think... Did me having an anxiety attack in public one time actually lead to two people getting married?? Or was that just a coincidence???

Printed up a new guy

SOMEONE had a very satisfying walk up to my parents' house to receive a crack-of-dawn delivery this morning.

Let it be known I just barely beat Eugene Lee Yang to the idea of dogs dressed up as the Saja Boys.

Thinking about the Umbrella Academy final season today. How much I didn't personally like it aside, man it takes some fucking balls to kill AND retcon all of your main characters at once and then reverse It's A Wonderful Life them for the benefit of the audience alone.

Apparently Toronto has just gotten an enormous bronze bear statue to watch over a new park @ Don Mills & Eglinton. #Bearonto @holmesthebear.bsky.social @arcas.bsky.social @horriblebearbear.bsky.social @albertthebear.bsky.social @cynibear.bsky.social

On a completely removed-from-my-general-stance-on-AI level I do think it's really interesting that people have so much use for character AI type things. I can't think of a single conversation I would want to have with my blorbos.

For so many reasons I do not regret going to art school, but it really fucked me in a lot of ways art-wise that I'm still recovering from.

Congratulations to these two for finding the single worst play style anyone has ever invented 🏆 Lyra tries to lick Ziggy's whole face while Ziggy tries to put her head in his mouth.

New pencils finally arrived! I got 2 so that if one decapitates itself again I have a spare to use while I wait for a replacement.

Very grateful that I was able to get my septum repierced while my dad was visiting but very ungrateful that I now have a cold and I can't just shove a tissue in there to block the snot. I'm busting out the q-tips and rinsing my nose with saline like some kind of snooty Victorian.

Change dot org petition for my coworkers to learn what my job is. They think that because I feed numbers into the number cruncher I must have intimate knowledge of how the number cruncher crunches numbers, but that is neither what I was hired for nor something I have been trained in.

Returning to my roots: pop idols and dogs. #kpopdemonhunters #kpdh #sajaboys

On my way to get my biometrics done for my ILR application and unfortunately my brain has done nothing but this on loop since leaving the house: Bi-o-me-trics 👏👏👏👏👏 Bi-o-me-trics 👏👏👏👏👏

Misread "bitcoin" as "bitchcoin" and was briefly so devastated about how much crypto sucks ass.
