Me: I want some mashed potatoes. How hard can it be? @icallshogun.bsky.social comes up from doing his exercises and sees what I am attempting then waits with me to take over when I freeze up because things become hotter than I'm comfortable with. These are the best 9PM potatoes.

Remember we are not broken.

The real story about #Columbus and #ColumbusDay www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCir...

I posted and then worked for 12 hours, went straight to bed, and woke up to a bunch of notifications on something I completely forgot I posted. 🤣

Someone explain to me like I'm 5 how hating on the KKK is "political" instead of "the correct thing to do in a civilized world". Also, for the people that invented the guillotine, this is real disappointing on quite a few levels. www.polygon.com/assassins-cr...

Get in here! We're making comics! www.kickstarter.com/projects/jpl...

This really shouldn't have to be said but here we are. Whatever you reason is to put yourself in a stupid situation, drop it. This is real world consequences shit and you do not want to learn what that means the hard way.

Today at the store I was playing The Halluci Nation for music. This hella awkward wyte dude came in looked at me, looked at our radio, had a light bulb pop off over his head, lit up like a Christmas tree, then started to talk to me about frybread. 🤣 He did buy something at least. 🤣

OMG YOU GUISE WHO GO TO THIS THING GO SEE MIKE AND TELL HIM NIKODA SAID HELLO! (Also buy things from him. That's the *actual* important bit.)

I just backed the NEW M. Hawthorne art book... and it aint mine ;-) Get in early on my daughter's new art book Kickstarter 😎 www.kickstarter.com/projects/mar...

Periodic reminder: if you’re over 35, you should be getting up from the floor unassisted once a day to make sure you still can. If it ever gets difficult, you need to do some weight training. Why? Someday, you will fall. Being able to get up can be the difference between a few bruises or dying.

New video! Making a cardboard d20 #MyArt

Drink coolers are not freezers. Ice cream will fucking melt in them and leak all over. In fact, if you have something you no longer want at checkout all you have to do is say "I changed my mind about this" and give it to the cashier. Stop being assholes.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

They didn't un-invent the guillotine or succeeding out of spite just because shit got hard. We got this.

youtu.be/_eqJuKIA31Q?... I don't think their debut album is out yet but I think everyone should keep an ear/eye out for Siibii! They're great.

ONE WEEK LEFT and we would love to hit some stretch goals. We are close to our first - at $6k we get a FUN beach day pinup by @fellhound.bsky.social 🌞

@jaydotdice.com Are you still doing such things?

....and if we cant reach 20k itd still be cool to reach 6k so we can get a gnarly beach day pinup!! 😎 Less than $500 to go for 6k! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cer...

The agenda should be to make our kids more empathetic

I wrote about this in Body Phobia. I’m mostly convinced that seeing the gore on our phones between memes and messages from friends actually distances us from it and dehumanizes it. It also disrespects the victims of violence.

Theres more queer creators in comics than ever before 🥳 Also plant meat tastes really good now. And home printing technology?? The epson eco tank is the best printer I ever owned - easy to troubleshoot, inks last forever, cheap to get and refill.

A new episode of my figure drawing podcast Life Studied with my friend Mairin-Taj just dropped on our Patreons! Patrons get the show a week early :-) www.patreon.com/posts/life-s... #figuredrawing #lifestudied #figureart #howtodraw

As a board member of the burn all bridges committee, let everything catch. We need the shit to hit the fan. Right now we're breathing fumes and they're suffocating us. There's fresh air on the other side of the flames.

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/

hey, a lot of us have a couple moots who have gotten FBI visits for this guys!! they really will find you!

Kenneth Branagh's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze.

I hurt my hand. The only way I can hold it so it doesn't hurt is by raising only my middle finger. Are....are we doing bespoke injuries now? Is that our next evolution?

Every time you make an AI image you pollute the environment of a marginalized community. Anyone still making AI images and videos after the multiple years' worth of damning data collected is straight up saying that they don't give a fuck about their fellow human beings or the environment.

This month's sketch series is Dinosaurs! My Patrons are also getting a second sketch each day: the same dinosaur as a different super hero each day. Today's Dino is the part reptile, part avian Sinornithosaurus, and over on patreon.com/jrobertdeans, the 2nd drawing is this Dino... as Black Canary!

Slept in a The Long Winters shirt and woke up to an Ultimatum.

Warm your hearts.

We own/run what a mall would consider as an "anchor store" in our small town and a lot of the smaller folks have decided it's up to us to drive bringing consumers downtown. Except they don't open when we do primarily because there's a houseless person problem downtown.

It's got fun in the title so it *probably* won't give you any existential doom/clear out your tear ducts even though Fell is part of it. And, even if it does, it'll be worth it. Get this.

We have a Teams chat at work that has a bunch of like-minded people from various departments who just met over the years and glommed together into a friend group. I got excited about the Spicomellus in the chat. Everyone else did too. There are still very good things in this world.

www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news... Washington isn't the safe haven dumbasses like to claim it is. Super glad we now have to worry about these fucks removing people who are trying to keep us all from becoming ash. Real great priorities here, guys.

Out here in the PNW there's not a lot of bowling alleys or skating rinks (especially out in the boons) and there are days where that really annoys me. Today is one of those days.
