With Ellis Peters' The Devil's Novice down, I can say I've read 19 books this year. I think I can probably get at least one more in in what looks like a very busy December. Once again the Cadfael books have impressed, so likely I'll be starting Dead Man's Ransom next. #booksky

Finally baked bread again and it feels great to have done. Arculata is one of my favorite recipes and it is taking all my willpower not to eat all of them. www.bbc.com/travel/artic...

Man, A Fistful of Dollars is such a dope-ass movie. I know its just Yojimbo but if you're gonna be a movie there are way worse movies to be.

Finished reading Ellis Peters' The Sanctuary Sparrow and have started Cristopher Buehlman's The Blacktongue Thief at @tonyljoy.hey.checkoutmy.link's suggestion. Excited given how much I liked Between Two Fires! #booksky

I've finally taken the time to read the first four of Martha Wells' excellent Murderbot books and am starting book 7 of Ellis Peters' Cadfael books, The Sanctuary Sparrow. I remember really liking this story in the BBC show so I'm pretty excited. #booksky

Given that I changed my pfp from a photo of me to my drawing of The Burgered King, no, I do not think I would want to look like my pfp.

Fear the Old Blood 🩸🧠👁️

"An unbelievably successful experiment in relentless stupidity," is perhaps the best description I can imagine for this film. Truly one of the best comedies I've ever seen and one I have been recommending to anyone who will listen since the moment I left the theater.

Probably can't get out into the woods this week but this guy visited me at home so I've got that going for me.

He has seen The Horrors

For research reasons I'm trying to get hold of scans/photocopies of Sid Sackson's columns in Strategy & Tactics, particularly the ones from #45 through #48 (looking for a specific item which would have landed in one of those issues), published in late 1974 and early 1975. Feel free to share this.

Some more hiking buddies. Getting out onto the trails once a week has been basically the only thing keeping me sane.

I've got Triple Crown ambitions and Glue Factory realities

Meet Bulba-Buddy, your first Pokémon! You are both now old and grey and your grandchildren have already head off on their own adventures with Pokémon of their own! Thanks for hanging out on stream everyone! twitch.tv/Digital_Bowtie

Some photos from yesterday's hike. I'm now quite certain at least some of the canine tracks we're seeing are from coyotes since the beach we hit was pretty remote. Bonus points for anyone who wants to ID the birds.

Armadillos are such weird little guys. Every time I see one I'm less certain they're real creatures.

Having a drunk walk and postin' toad

Saw this guy this morning and my buddy @talorast.bsky.social did me the honor of drawing him!

Some photos of the Old McKinney Road Bridge and a dried stream bed with beaver tracks in the mud from a great hike today.

Nice to see The Guardian and the ACLU on this. Absurd that the worst actors can use payment processors as a force multiplier to enforce their prudishness on society as a whole.

HEY ARTISTS LOOK LOOK FASHION HISTORY RESOURCES!!!!!! fashionhistory.fitnyc.edu

Neighbors!

While they lose me a bit saying crypto currency is a viable disruption to payment processors, I do feel like there's some good stuff in here. Censorship, including the kind engaged in by payment processors, is always bad. This shouldn't be a particularly partisan issue.

Some hiking photos since I haven't posted those in a while

Playing with some new pencils and a decent sketchbook and knocked out this based on a photo a friend took on a recent hike. Very pleased with the result.

@salgarious.bsky.social calls Batman "The Batted Man" for reasons unknown even to him. That brain worm has burrowed deep into my psyche, so when @digitalbowtie.bsky.social said Burger King, my brain instead subbed "The Burgered King" which is obviously a Souls boss. I present THE BURGERED KING.

"I asked chatGPT" "I asked Grok" yeah well i asked goombella and her tattle log says you're a bitch

Went 7.5 miles last hike and was absolutely feeling it but managed to see a lot of critters so we'll call that a win. Excited to go back tomorrow.

Some more guys from my last hike.

After being completely winded by House of Leaves I'm finally reading another book. Started the excellent All Systems Red by Martha Wells since I can't get enough of Murderbot. Nice to have a fun, easy read again after... you know. #booksky

This is the most MtG coded shit. If James Gleason: Non-Perishable Manager would be put into the graveyard from anywhere, return him to your hand instead.

I finally got back on @inaturalist.bsky.social and its so much more useful for IDing stuff than it was when I fell out of it ages ago. Really great tool for folks who want to learn more about the environment around them!

This rules and the hill I will die on is Bethesda's Pirates of the Carribean for the XBox is an unrivaled achievement in pirate games. It does so much right and is incredibly fun despite being a buggy mess of "movie tie-in."

More pals from my walks. Critters. Guys.

. @colin.how @writnelson.bsky.social

History will not look kindly upon this take. They are the poor man's bandai wonderswan.

Got blindsided by a German translation today LMAO What a treat it can be sometimes to know both languages djwidhakdbejf

Good year for pals

Some critters I saw on my hike the other day

I was introduced to some beautiful trails outside of Dallas, Texas by @d-g-k.bsky.social . One of the better hikes I've been on recently and I'm eager to get back out there.

I feel like I'm running into more bunnies earlier in the day this year. My early evening walks have even included a few bold armadillos, though they weren't bold enough to stick around for a picture.

🎉 OMG GUYS! I hit 1k followers tonight I don't even know what to say!! Thank you all SO much from the bottom of my heart! In honor of this milestone I am hosting a raffle for a fully rendered art piece! 🌻 Rules: ➕ Follow me! ❤️ Like this post! 🔁 Repost! #raffle #giveaway #furry #digitalart
