Whoa! 🤯

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

I wouldn't expect any other result. 😂

Joe Hill: but if you think THAT'S scary Hill: wait until you hear about the tale of the black phone 2 Hill: oh hero, named Finn Hill: like Stranger Things! Hill: is now in the 80s Hill: like Stranger Things!

This is really interesting to read about how kids have been taught to read and how it's failed them. I'm an avid (almost compulsive) reader but never thought about how I learned.

If I have to have the original song 🎶 stuck in my head today, do does everyone else. Besides, mac's a master and deserves recognition.

Speaking of reinforced priors: I don't come here to be exposed to other people's views, to debate or especially to be debated at. I have my own sources for that. I am here to spend some of my free time chatting with interesting and delightful people and admiring each others' pets and knitting.

I went in and reviewed the settings that were chosen for me by default. Only changed a few since I'm fine with some of those options being hidden (like imposters or karma farming accounts), but definitely worth going in to check them out for your own account prefs.

I’ve got just 4 days left to sell at least 11 framed pieces to have what I need for rent. I have the “hare” painting available at name your own price! Huge thank you to all who have shared & offered encouraging words (I really need them right now).

O. M. G. ❤️ Bernie Wrightson is my idol for b/w line work. I used to just stare at his work when I was in college taking illustration, trying to understand.

Gonna repost this every time I come across it on socials. 💚

Ever have a day when you think your hair just looks awesome? 😁

Are all the random accounts following me lately just repost bots? Like no actual posts at all, just endless reposting of other's content? Doesn't matter if it's a view I believe in, still gonna get blocked quick.

What an excellent response about the farm bailouts (again).

So I wonder how Trump's annual performance review went today? Did his manager give him a 3 - Meets Expectations? Pretty sure he's not getting a 4 - Exceeds Expectations; Putin isn't that generous.

Oh wow. This is so impactful but as a few people said in the comments, I'm not sure I wouldn't have wanted to grab a sculpture myself without realizing.

You know what, this is the perfect explanation for Cobra Chickens. Yes, yes. 🪿👹

Today is Monday, July 7. Good morning ❤️ eat take your meds hydrate tell your people you love them let them love you back We are here. This is real. Let's build a home for each other and fight like hell.

I felt like being extra creative today, so I made a short video of the current work-in-progress. I really have neither the time nor the inclination to set up space for videos, even though that has become the "norm" for engaging viewers. Eh, here's what I have. youtu.be/tQSiwJDw8ok

Happy 4th of July or as dogs call it, K9/11

Doing arty things. Watercolor and black ink, so far. 😁

Da hell?! 😠

Incredible piece about Murderbot w the best quote from @marthawells.com, hero to fanfic enjoyers: “I don’t care if my entertainment is schlock or not if I like it. I loathe the phrase ‘guilty pleasure.’ Is it child porn? No? Then it’s not a guilty pleasure. It was created by people to be enjoyed.”

Me after replacing the bulb in my desk lamp with one that's the correct wattage.

there’s something to be said that when they elect a pope they just ask him what his new name is but when someone else wants a new name well. yeah.

What an excellent way to celebrate The World's Goodest Boy! This is also why I was so glad to discover a few years ago that the shelter we got Jasper from was part of my employer's matching campaign for donations. I set up an amount from each paycheck and the company matches that.

Eh. What could go wrong? 😱

More journalists need to talk about this the way Japanese articles do

😭

YAAAAAAAAY! Darth's back! 🌸 Spring really is here! 🌸

They fucking did it. They mushed to Nome.

I honestly need to start taking this advice into my life more often. Been dealing with the "blahs" lately & in half-empty glass mode affecting things. So a reminder that small joys are there to be celebrated just as hard as the big ones too! (read through to the linked post about butterflies! 🦋)

The rule is the rule.

It's kind of scary when the first read of a post isn't "ha ha" but "oh, I believe that would happen". 😣

Manager: "What's this milestone 'Living on a prayer' ?" Me: "That's the documentation deliverable." Manager: "What's the status of that?" Me: "We're halfway there" Manager: "Why is progress so slow?" Me: "You fired Tommy" Manager: "So?" Me: "Tommy used to work on the docs"

You ever get a follow notification and it baffles you? Like you honestly have no points of intersection with the account even though it seems completely legit (not a bot or farm acct)? I've been blocking a lot of those lately. No idea what I post that attracts them though.

Effing yikes! So now Missouri is getting into the baby selling business? Because there really isn't any good way to read a bill like that at all.

Oh yeah! When you open your desk drawer and discover you brought a package of gummie bears to work last week and forgot about them. 🎉

I was a little ball of stress earlier this week and it caught up with me. Not feeling great but remembered to post these. Cut watercolor paper into 4 to experiment with watercolor in soapy water to make bubbles. Didn't come out like I planned so I added lines. I do like the end results so win/win?

I present to you, once again, my dog who is afraid of rain and quivers at the first hint of a storm, with his head out the windows on this morning's breakfast run. 🙄🐶

Because I, Leap, am the VERY FIRST BRAVERMOUNTAIN DOG to star in a children's book!!!

Super fascinating climate-communication study making the rounds today, thanks to @katharinehayhoe.com. Skeptics who changed their minds went through a three-step process, which began with a "distancing from their ideological community." 👇 🧵
