It's been a blast working alongside the Starlight crew! Here's to the next 10 years, and beyond!

I saw Elizabeth looking at several books from one of my favorite authors, @taverntoldtales.bsky.social! They're both LitRPG series. They're longer books that flow well and have fantastic characters. Elizabeth recommends them (and so do I)! #bjd #photography #dollsky #books #necromanticapocalypse

This is happening tonight in around 7 hours from now! Maybe see you there!

Work is finally slowing, so I can really get into polishing the skills I need to replace our Sr. DBA when he retires this summer. Bonus: more time to read! I started a new book by an author I adore, but could only read a few pages at a time due to how busy I've been. #dba #reading #iamsonotready

This is an unpopular opinion nowadays, but I hate two-space tabbing in code. It's a pain to read with less-than-perfect vision, even with glasses. Issues with width availability were solved when widescreen monitors became the norm 20+ years ago. Give your code space! #code #programming #dev

The FINEST of Mango Mondays

“There is a man I hate so much that simply killing him will not satisfy me.” FE: Fortune’s Weave looks amazing! Don’t know much about Leda yet, but I assume she and Primrose (OT) would be best friends :) #fireemblem #fe18 #fefw #fe18leda #fireemblemfortunesweave #octopathtraveler #primroseazelhart

The doctor would like to prescribe a large healing bun, fresh from the oven. As often as I post my dolls with bread, I should get a bunny girl doll. Or at least some bunny ears. That way I can have a bun with my buns! #bread #baking #food #bjd #dollsky #doll #ドール#Jidongshunxi

Nyandi's Evenyan Mews: Do you think Princess is trying to tell me something? It's just not clear enough to me. #ENVtuber #cats #nyandimews

Retailers: "We'll rearrange our store to keep things new and interesting for our customers!" Customers: "I can't find what I want and nobody is around to ask." Also customers: "I'll just buy it on Amazon." Retailers: *shocked Pikachu* Seriously, why do I waste time with physical stores anymore?

Say it with me now: Just because other artists sometimes have lower prices doesn't mean that you should lower yours. In fact, if you can get away with it, please raise them until you reach what people will still pay. Stop devaluing yourself just because of toxic culture encouraging a race-to-bottom

I realized I never posted the pizza I made so I made it again tonight. It was a difficult task to convince myself to do so (it wasn't) but I did it anyway! Behold! Pepperoni and jalapeno pizza! (...I forgot the onions this time.)

Hey guys~ As some of you may have noticed, the Space Maids Codex disappeared from my shop on Patreon due to copyright issues So, I've decided to release the full Codex file for free as a way to share the work and love poured into it, and so you all can keep enjoying the maids!

I picked up a new sundress for Mirai and was planning on going to the park to shoot some photos today, but it's overcast with a 30-40 MPH (48-64 KM/h) wind and frequent gusts over 60 MPH (96 KM/h). Perhaps some time this week, or next weekend!

Listen. If we get through this? (And i do think we will get through this) I hope a lot if you internalize how -easy- it is to just call your reps and give em a piece of your mind. Theres more of US than there are those loudmouthed shitheads out there, we just gotta be loudmouths too.

I just had my first-ever #crumblcookies, a chocolate chunk cookie, and I think it'll be my last. It was too oily and tasted more like sweetened flour with cheap chocolate chips than an actual chocolate chip cookie. How are these so popular? #crumbl #baking #cookies

I take a _lot_ of photos of my dolls with food. I should probably invest in an apron and chef's outfit+hat for them at this point. Here's Mirai, with some garlic bread! #smartdollmirai #bjd #bread #baking #photography

Did you miss that yesterday was #おっぱいの日 and wondering why everyone is posting Bunny art today? Wouldn't it be nice if you could see when to post art and what hashtags are used? I made a site to document all (that i know of) of the various JP themed-art days. zoiteki.github.io/goroawase-ar...

Looking for new doll clothes always comes with an initial shock. My jeans cost $30-40. My dolls' jeans cost $60-80. My shirts cost $20-25. My dolls' shirts cost $40-50. It gets even worse with underclothes and shoes! I really need to learn how to make my own doll clothes. #bjd

Things I realized I need for my dolls: - Cat ear headbands. - Cat tail accessories. - Cat paw gloves. If anyone has any recommendations on these in 1/3 scale, I'm all ears! #bjd #dolls #catgirl

Trapped on a plane at #ohare #ord for over 2.5 hours. It's close to or at 90 F. There's no water left. We can't get off because there's nobody available to bring the ramp to us. And now the captain just requested a doctor, nurse, or parametric because people are starting to suffer heat stroke.

I've entertained myself at #hpediscover today by walking in front of groups walking and staring at their phones, then crisscrossing the lane. They follow along and walk in zigzags behind me. I've done this several times and it's humourous how people just follow the person walking in front of them.

"I'm too tall for carry-on..." Mirai is a 1/3 scale doll, standing at 60 cm (24 inches) in height. The suitcase is a 54 cm (21 inch) carry-on suitcase with a 4 cm (1.5 inch) wheel base, making Mirai about 2 cm (1 inch) taller than it. #bjd #doll #dollsky #smartdollmirai #photography

The start of today's DR Drill meeting was kind of fun. Leader: "Today's disaster is that SAP had bought out AWS." Person 2: "So... Our DR is to move to Azure?" #aws #sap #azure #dr #drdrill #disasterrecovery #techhumor

"Why do you have an empty picture frame? You should fill it with a photo of me!" #bjd #photography #books #smartdollmirai

FFT on Steam will use Denuvo. My enthusiasm just came to a crashing halt. I'm a developer with a heavily-customized system. The two times I installed Denuvo, it hosed my system and I had to reinstall Windows. I guess I'll buy it on sale in a few years, after Denuvo has been removed. #fft #denuvo

The "Big 3" takeaways for me from Sony's #stateofplay were Bloodstained 2, the FFT port, and a new 2D Ninja Gaiden game. I suppose I should be glad FFT's release will be a port, not a remaster, considering how abysmal the Tactics Ogre rework was.

I put my new 15-inch (38-cm) pizza pan to the test. It worked out really well! I do need to make more tomato sauce next time, though, and it went from "just barely undercooked" to "just barely overcooked" in under a minute. #pizza #castiron #cooking #food #photography

I would like to introduce the newest member of my family: a 15 in (38 cm) cat iron pizza pan from #lodge! I've been looking at this beauty for a while and decided to pull the trigger! #bakeware #castiron #cooking

I was going to do the photo shoot with my second mermaid doll, but when I went to bring in the flowers, I noticed a wasp nest had already been built in them. I'm not going bring a wasp nest into my home! I'll see what I can do for a flower shoot with the second mermaid doll over the weekend.

I made onion bread tonight! ...I put the garlic in the pan at the same time as the onion, so couldn't caramelize the onion without risking burning the garlic. I could easily afford to double the amount of onion in the bread, too! #bread #baking #food #photography

There was a nursery a few towns over that had some nice flowers in a greenhouse. I picked up two hanging flower baskets. I'll show off the other tomorrow with my other mermaid. "They're shaped like my tail!" #bjd #mermaid #mermay #flowers #photography

"Why buy flowers when you already have this vase? Buy us clothes, instead!" This vase was my grandmother's. She was a smoker so it was coated with tar. I've cleaned it, but can't do more without damaging it. I want to re-take the second one with better lighting. #bjd #mermaid #mermay #photography

I went to the nurseries in the area, but none of the flowers looked very good. They looked like they had cold shock and too much water, so I didn't get any. "It's OK! We'll try when it's warmer out. Let's get some purple ones to match this vase!" #bjd #mermaid #mermay #photography #books

I ran across an interesting (and short) video about the derth of mermaid-focused games (as opposed to games where you're only temporarily under water) and a reasonable thought on why they're so rare. youtu.be/4Bmqco2Buno?... #mermaid #mermay #gaming #gamedev

#MerMay, Day 2! It stopped raining, but it's still cool, wet, and breezy. The weekend looks warm, though! "Can we get some flowers to plant this weekend?" This is the second of the two mermaid dolls I have. Both are 1/12 scale. The 1/3 scale are too expensive 😭 #mermaid #bjd #photography #coffee

It's #MerMay! I want to go outside the take some photos, but the weather isn't very agreeable. "Are you really whining about a little rain to a mermaid?" It's not just rainy! It's also cold and windy, not to mention overcast so the lighting is bad. #mermaid #bjd #bonbongalaxy #photography

"Poetry? Maybe I can interest you in better reading material?" (I do enjoy poetry, and I suspect this doll would, as well.) I haven't settled on a name for her yet, but I'm leaning towards Elizabeth. She just _feels_ like an Elizabeth. #bjd #egl #doll #photography #books #poetry #classicliterature

Look who came in this week! The 1/12 scale Special Color Lace Cat from the Electronic Pet Game World series by #AdvocateFreedom. It was a long wait, but she's worth it! She's adorable, and I have a lot of ideas for photo shoots as soon as the weather is agreeable! #bjd #egl #doll #photography

"I want pizza!" "We have pizza at home." The pizza at home: #food #photography #pepperoni #onion #pizza #thingathomememe

The cards for the #Antu Dreamlike series are just a little too wide to fit in a standard-sized card sleeve 😞 Not shown here, but they're about 2 millimeters too tall, too.

I decided to pick up a new blind-box doll. Meet Dazzling Dream, from #Antu! There are a few other ponies in my home who wanted to meet the newcomer. They seem to get along well! I'm waiting for warmer weather so I can do actual shoots outdoors! #bjd #pennysbox #mlp #mlpfim #photography

There are some cute doll outfits I've been eyeing. I don't know which to get. At the same time, I look at what I already have and think "do they really need more outfits?" The answer, of course, is "yes." My gals deserve _all_ the outfits!

Pan bread! I love how easy (and quick) it is to make. This one got a bit darker than I'd prefer, but it's still really good! #food #cooking #bread #photography

I'll be traveling for work in a few weeks and I'll be in a fancy area. I'm tempted to take Mirai so I can get some good photoshoots, but I'd have to be careful since a few coworkers will be there, as well. Trying to explain why I have a doll and why I'm taking photos of her would be awkward.

I'm feeling a bit under the weather, so tonight's dinner is a chicken stir fry and a cup of green tea. Just what the nurse ordered! The doll is Yue Mian from #Jidongshunxi. #bjd #food #photography #dinner #dollsky
