Juuust saying… everyone might want to give, “A Bookseller in Madrid”, by Mario Escobar a read. Let’s just say it’s VERY relative… as history is absolutely repeating itself.

From, “A Bookseller in Madrid”. No truer words have been written.

Omg, you did it! ABC just announced that “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” will return on Tuesday after the late-night host’s suspension became a flashpoint for free speech. We estimate that around 250,000 of our supporters canceled their Disney+ and Hulu accounts in protest. The pressure worked, money talks!

24% of the way into, “the Good Parts”, abridged version of, “The Princess Bride”, by William Goldman. Hooooly hell… so… yeah… Prince Humperdinck is SO much worse, SO much more cruel in the book. www.goodreads.com/book/show/95...

I’m still insanely proud with the light and shadow work on this one I did of Dr. Zayne from #loveanddeepspace.

I thought of this today and it made me laugh hard enough to hiccup. So I had to draw it. IYKYK?

So, because, not surprisingly, this book PISSES a certain FB CEO off, because it airs a certain social media giants dirty laundry out… I highly highly HIGHLY recommend, “Careless People”, by Sarah Wynn-Williams.

Out of curiousity, mostly because I am binging my own favorite today… what is YOUR favorite classic childrens story? Mine? PETER PAN In all it’s forms. The original dark story by J.M. Barroe, and the Disney version, then eeeeeevery beautiful dark take on it afterwards.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Just watched the newest episode of South Park. “Sermon on the Mount” That was spot on and beautiful. 🤣🤣🤣

The Buick, aka Kirishima, is in the shop to have an oil leak checked out. Wee. Can I afford this? Likely no. But I need to get it done. Just going to live off PBJs and ramen for a while…

OOOO!!! Talk about a gift! 💜 I had COMPLETELY forgotten that I entered the giveaway for a copy of Mason Deavers’, “The Build-a-Boyfriend Project”, on Goodreads. Went to grab my Dominos lunch delivery, turned back to the door to see a box leaning against the door frame, and saw my name on it.

Aaaand I’m just going to put this heeeeere… #billofrights

Just got home from work, car isn’t reliable enough to be able to get to and from Munn Park for the Lakeland No Kings Protest (oil leak… saving up to be able to get repairs and an estimate done).

So since I have this FANTASTIC opportunity because of my job, I’m going to do a thing…

Just finished the dramatized audiobook from Graphic Audio, part 1 of ONYX STORM… the, “YOUNG LADY, TAKE THAT OUT OF YOUR MOUTH RIGHT NOW!”, moments between Tairn and Andarna… and Mira’s bottom of the belly SNORTLELAUGH! 🤣🤣🤣 That was AMAZING! #onyxstorm #GraphicAudio

Trying out a different technique for shading and highlights. A few other artists shade with greyscale, then change the layer properties to color burn. Then tweak as needed in another layer to add stronger reflective lighting as well as some complementary colors.

48 HOURS LONG?! Yeah, there is NO way in hell I’m going to be able to finish the entire audiobook in two weeks before it gets returned to the library. Stephen… dahling… I love your stories, but… holy hell, dude! 🤣 600 pages w/ Fairy Tale was long enough! !

Just something I’m working on for our employees only Little Library at work! #freelittlelibrary #booktok #dragon

Watching, “The Handmaids Tale”, on Hulu. Seriously, thank you to Hulu for having this. I do intend on reading the book eventually. Buying it actually, so it can’t be ripped away from me.

Ack! The Storygraph app and website servers are down! 😭💔 I DO use Bookmory and Goodreads as well to log my books as I read or listen to them, but Storygraph is my most used and accurate account. I still have a LOT of work to do on my Bookmory account… #Storygraph #booktok

Happy Bunboy Easter, everyone! Kinda figured we all needed a good smile today. XD youtu.be/euyp-kHlFrU?... youtube.com/watch?v=euyp...

To the dingbat in the tan FUV who would have t-boned a bunch of us at the intersection of Argicola Road and route 60 in Bartow today… first of all, fuck you, ya damn red light runner…

GUYS! Dudes mah DUDES! I got to boop donkey snoots while on this mornings InHome deliveries! 💜🫏

Reading, “Swordheart”, by T. Kingfisher right now. At 47% (it’s an ebook): “Well… yes. Except that you can do something evil and know it’s evil and care that it’s evil and do it anyway and feel guilt for it. If you’re zeth, you just do it and the fact it’s evil doesn’t bother you…

And even more awesome news? I decided to get my physical copy of my library card from the county library near work (I have a digital one through them & the QLL for access via Libby). Going to enter their art contest, AND I’m re-starting Stephen King’s, “Fairy Tale”! #libraries #LibraryWeek

WOOT! Amazing news for us here in Florida! The bill set out by Randy Fine to TRY and ban Pride flags from public buildings is FLAT LINED. NONE of the states senators were willing to advance SB 100! www.facebook.com/share/p/1EWv...

We have the mayoral elections going on here in Lake Wales. Not the bigger one (you know I’d be backing Gay Valimont if I were in one of the selected districts for the special elections…). But even voting in the local mayoral elections is a step!

Listening to Cory Booker STILL HOLDING THE FLOOR. I love this. We NEED more people like him. I’m getting ready for the day, to out to vote here in my district here in Florida. Making my vote count.

Just going to put this riiiiiight here… from the banned book, “1984”, by George Orwell. Sound familiar?

It’s BACK! Now we wait for Sk8 Extra Part to get a US release, or at LEAST put on Crunchyroll! Looks like we get a bit more backstory about MatchaBlossom too! No redemption for Adam, though, please. Not after what he did to Reki and Lasanga. youtube.com/watch?v=sE2f...

Time for a third re-read! And you better believe I’m making a LOT of annotations and such while re-reading. “1984”, has yet AGAIN become insanely relavent.

Support special election candidates in FL, Gay Valimont and Josh Weil for House! Blake Genbien in NY for House. These 3 seats could flip the House in 2025. They need money and boots on the ground.

Doctor Zayne is all done! I’m really pushing what the ipad and Procreate can handle with the detailing and amount of layers that said ipad can handle.. 🤣😈💜 #loveanddeepspace #loveanddeepspacezayne #procreateart

The PRETTY arrived from Amazon today while I was at work! Lookatit! LOOOOK! Clarion and Milori are BEAUTIFUL!

Treated myself to another new book. Not Lightlark, that I bought a few weeks ago. The Invocations, by Krystal Sutherland. And this time, it’s NOT a romantacy! Has to deal with witches, witchcraft, and the strength of women. 💜

Zayne’s pretty eyes… I’ve noticed that not only does he have red-brown flecks in the green of his eyes, he also has a splash of BLUE in them! InFold going insane with the tiiiiniest of details. 💜 So, because THEY go all out, so must I when I paint them.

Fellow ace, demi-ace, and aro’s (those of us under that ace umbrella)! Came across these through the @queerliblib.bsky.social via the Libby app! It looks like they only have 3 copies per book, but both are in HIGH demand, so you know I have both on hold for future reading!

On a good note… it entertains the living daylights out of me overhearing my landlord having a friendly argument with a friend of his over how much of a badass Sasuke from Naruto is. 🤣💜

Welp… woke up, got ready for work, drove the 35+ minutes it takes to get there… only to stupidly realise I’m not scheduled today. SONOFA…! 😅
