This was us with cards against humanity tonight. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Health update, numbers are since starting in October. Going for SLOW progress b/c I want it sustainable, the loss to NOT cause my body to freak out, and my body is VERY weight loss resistant BEFORE factoring in my age: Weight: -11.2 lb Upper waist: -2” Belly waist: -2” Hips: -1” Chest: -1” 😁

Forced out of bed to chase off a woodpecker (Flicker) going at my chimney. Picks up spray foam to fill holes the bloody things have created. Sticks boob in spray foam as I go up the ladder. Which then gets in my hair. Brushes some more hair out of my face...gets more spray foam in my hair

Telling my hubby to be careful about moving on the couch or he'll squish the "kitty butt appendage". Or, hear me out Brain, you could call it a tail.

I made a maze in Minecraft. It's three levels deep ... Not sure why I do this to myself. 😂

"Don't be a mimic, don't be a mimic..."

Okay….okay… what the actual fuck? 🤣💀. WHY IS THIS ON MY FEED? OMG… I’m dying!

Ahh, a company I've ordered plant bulbs from is using AI to show the plants they're selling. I'm not even anti-AI. I am, however, against buying imaginary products. If you can't be confident enough with your own product to show what they actually look like, I don't trust your company

Whatever you celebrate (or don't) Happy Thursday! (also, merry xmas)

Congratulations everyone who has seasonal affective disorder! The days are going to start getting longer now. WHOO!!

..... Okay, between this one and the last one, I'm really trying not to laugh because I'm super sick and my throat hurts!

OMG....I'm dying!

Crappy shot, but there is a guy who every year dresses up as Santa, truck decked out, and tosses presents to kids as he drives by. I don’t know why, but this year it made me cry. Like this guy goes all out from the goodness of his damned heart 😭😭😭

My union did a produce box giveaway for the holidays. 15-20lbs of fruit and veggies They had two pick up windows. Demand was so high they were out before the first window closed Then they went out of their way to find 350 more food boxes Thanks, @aupe.org You helped so many families through this

Reading Writing Doing the art ... EVERY TIME!

Alright, so, if you: . Like Trump . Cringe about sex positivity and education . Can’t stand following someone who stays informed about AI I’m probably not an account you should follow. I only periodically talk about any of these things, but you have to do what’s best for you

Seeing editorials of people upset that OpenAI is getting "Adult Mode" NOTE: The average user won't need this mode Text drive adult-mode AI will have boundaries in place It's not all about "porn". This will be a tool for many to process sexual dysfunction It's already in several BIG competitors

I mean, it could be worse, but WTF is all this bullshit? AND WHEN DOES IT END?

Damn near posted something about "Storyyelling". So, this is storytelling just REALLY loud? Aggressive?

Heheh, flashback to when I had a few signs at my artist alley tables near the beginning (yes, I made them all), was a fun addition to my table.

Nature is so amazing! I'm kidding! But damn if I don't see stuff like this on the internet and a TONNE of people...well, have more interesting ideas about reality than I do.

This made me giggle. Snow FTW!

This is (literally) how I parent. My kids love me...

Hehehe, yeah. This is me.

Just a friendly reminder ... 💞

Pro writing tip: maps can be obnoxious, let nature design them for you!

You wanted it, and here it is! Let's talk about writing rain in your novels without being cliche about it.

OMG, my son just gave me a heart attack. He sent me these pics without context. I had to zoom in to see that it's a lab he's doing in sports med.... BLOODY TEENAGERS! I THOUGHT HE HAD A CHEMICAL BURN!😂💀

I giggle every time...

Found my art HEAVILY featured by an author in their marketing for a series. A reminder to authors: just because it's on the internet doesn't mean you can use it freely! Below is the actual official artwork (yup, same one that keeps getting used since 2013) All I ask is JUST DON'T SELL WITH IT!

I'm sorry, but this FIFA peace prize may contend with the STUPIEST thing I've ever seen in my life.

Gods, so much I’d warn younger me about!

The boy is 16 now, not 6 but I STILL love this.

DEAR AUTHORS: I just want to reiterate, a female character is NOT strong or independent just because she's angry and/or petulant all the time.

Proper use of googley eyes!

Hehehehehe...this is not wrong

I’ve found being in my forties has simplified so much of my life… …which has then been made up by the growing complexity of my skin care routine

If there was one piece of advice I'd give my younger self it would be: STOP TRYING TO MAKE OTHER PEOPLE HAPPY AT YOUR OWN EXPENSE! (yes, yelled. heheh)

Now, what's the dose for the last decade?

Curious, who still uses paper calendars?

Seems legit. This is how it’s done, right? 😉

Alright, I know there's a tonne of you out there who bought it on release day. So, how's Brimstone? #Quicksilver #CallieHart

My husband paused the anime he was watching and wandered off to go get food. Listen, how am I not supposed to laugh my ass off?

Listen, I don't know why social media keeps showing me videos of people ripping off book covers and rebinding them with their own, but THAT IS SACRILEDGE!

My US friends: Trump didn't flip on the Epstein files without a plan. Keep an eye on how much they redact. And how many names.

Internet, I need some help, and my husband isn't on bluesky! Every year I get my husband some new hot sauce for his x-mas stocking. Always something like the grenade bottle or storm trooper helmet... Having trouble finding a fun one this year. Who has a lead? Doesn't have to be super spicy

I have a bunch of videos of the bobcats. The soft background music in all of them? My husband's video game. 🤣
