ARTEMIS HAS LIFTOFF!!! (I'd forgotten what is was like to watch a launch without seething rage at billionaire looters.)

He says I can trust him.

Reminder that this kind of book ends up on the best seller lists because orgs like the Heritage Foundation buy them by the bushel and donate them, give them as membership gifts, etc. It's the right wing grift welfare program for toadies and lickspittles.

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

If there's anyone in your life you're trying to pull out of the FOX News bubble, *this* is the article to send them.

More weird fan art of #UglyDogs' dogs. Here's @pseudelight.ink's Jasper. #watercolor

Future generations, listen to me: THIS IS HOW CAPITALISTS KEEP THEIR PROMISES. Remember this. Commit it to memory. Hold it sacred. And never, not ONCE, give these greedy hoarding psychopaths the benefit of the doubt.

Here's part of the membership list that was posted with the article. I've tracked down number 47, Sammie E. Boyd. His obituary has the surname Beard in it multiple times, as does the ledger. I'm going to crawl all over their family trees. www.hartmanhughesfuneralhome.com/obituary/422...

At this point I'm just making weird fan art of other people's pets. This knot dog is @mac-b5.stickimporters.com's Lumi singing. #watercolor #art

Last night our sand boa turned down his fuzzy, so I woke up Grendel to give it to her, and she was the happiest lizzer ever 🦎

I have a notebook with my great grandmother's recipes, and it is some damning evidence of 1950's food crimes. Just a disturbing collation of things that nobody wants to see in a jello mold.

Here's an idea. Instead of cutting SNAP, increase the amount and give it to EVERYONE, every adult and child. Any funds not used within a year go to food banks. We could be the country where no one goes hungry. Zero money wasted trying to prevent fraud if everyone deserves it.

In support of this post, here are some extremely negative things that I expect to happen as a matter of course because of this.

Tonight I tried doing a knot dog portrait of @muppybean.bsky.social's boing shark Syvie seeing something sus. #watercolor #art

Last reminder that this quilt exists and is a work of usable 4’8” x 6’10” art. I love it even though it’s partly black which feels risky in a house with many cats. (I didn’t make it nor do I know the maker, but it’s beautiful and underpriced) #fandommarket www.32auctions.com/organization...

One last pitch for something you should bid on. @ferventemily.bsky.social will make you a *custom* #OFMD sweater (or jumper if that’s what you call it) with the *cutest* lil baby ships and krakens. Current bid is at $102, and it could be YOURS! #FandomMarket www.32auctions.com/organization...

There are four items currently with no bids ALL of which are incredible but i personally really want this one and because I’m on a tight budget, I would really like to see someone get one or both of the spots! #fandommarket www.32auctions.com/organization...

less than 1.5 hours left!! I'm throwing in an extra set of outfits for whoever wins these one-orange-tall co-captains - red suit and rice sack? tiny cozy sweaters? robes? it's up to you! #fandommarket

LESS THAN TWO HOURS TO SNIPE A CUSTOM #WATERCOLOR #CELTICKNOT #PAINTING ON THE #FANDOMMARKET!!! INCLUDING THE OPTION OF A 🐍 PORTRAIT!!! (And so much other cool stuff!!) www.32auctions.com/organization...

It's random number generator time, and the winner of the #IGiveARod drawing is @annacardea.bsky.social!

#UglyDogs! Richie Beattie won the Red lantern last night, so I'll give anyone who donated to the #IGiveARod until noon my time (EST/NY time, so 2 hours from now) to DM me if you want in on the drawing! If you helped organize, wrangle the spreadsheet, matched donations, etc. you are not excluded!

If you start now, you can watch all of OFMD twice before the auction is over and even get a few hours of sleep. To guide you as you watch, I've got an auction item to accompany each episode...

There's only 24 hours left in the #fandommarket craft auction to raise funds for the American Immigration Council, and with over 900 items, OF COURSE there are underpriced treasures to be found! (Especially fiber arts. Holy smokes there's some gorgeous items.) So here's a few of my favorites 😁

Corollary to "Politicians should have top donors as patches on their jackets like race car drivers": TV news and politics people and their guests should have a desk plaque in front of them with their annual salary and the actual percentage they pay in taxes.

Not sure how I feel about the colors, but I mostly like the pounce. #watercolor #art

trying to decide the colors for the next knot dog

So it turns out in Florida that if you get a legal name change back to a previous name, you AREN'T required to get fingerprinted or have a background check, and sometimes they'll have the hearing right when you file. I don't expect the passport office to be able to renew mine before the election.

Cats are such graceful, majestic creatures.

Jessie's in Nome! Mac, Espy, and Melissa are matching donations, And my pup needs a home! #UglyDogs #IGiveARod #iditarod54 #watercolor

I discovered that my off brand slippers have "vera cosy" imprinted on the soles, and now I am legally required to say "verra cosy, verra nice" in a Borat voice every time I put them on.

Me, ending the message I just left for Medicaid fraudster Rick Scott: ... so please put me down as violently opposed to it. That would, um, be figuratively not literally. Thank you.

Convicted of assault, but not animal abuse. One of my pet peeves (heh) is that reptiles and inverts don't receive the same protections as other pets. Imagine the outrage (and criminal charges) if she had thrown a puppy.

For St Patrick's Day, why not throw in a bid on a #watercolor Celtic knot made in the design and colors of your choice (including a 🐍 portrait!) to support The American Immigration Council? #fandommarket #ofmd #art www.32auctions.com/organization...

Happy Saint Gertrude Day. (the patron saint of cats).

Illustration countdown to #WrensAria publication! 21/52 Even a humble bee becomes (briefly) involved in Wren's quest to journey to the Royal Court and sing her aria for the Queen!

welp, that's my unpleasant self awareness for the day sorted

heard you was talking shit 🦎

Hey, #UglyDogs! I wanted to give the #IGiveARod a little boost, so I'm raffling off a small dog painting to anyone who has donated at least $5 US to one of the #DonorsChoose campaigns on the list. 1/3 #watercolor #art

Reminder that #threadless is having its big spring sale! $13 tees and everything else up to 40% off! Never a better time to grab one of my designs on everything from shirts, hoodies, caps, pillows, and more! whistberry.threadless.com

Finally getting to yesterday's #BirdOfTheDay, a chaffinch based on @knotweed-ireland.bsky.social's fantastic borb photo! (Eventually I'll figure out how to make feathers so I can paint fancy dinosaurs.) #watercolor #art #SciArt

Someone is going to create a Word compatible WYSIWYG word processor with like three fonts and maybe a spell check that you can purchase once and own forever and they're going to make absolute BANK

the beast emerges 🦎

Since I've been painting borbs lately, the notoriously well fed Tower Ravens waddled to mind. I think it may be time for them to finally depart. #watercolor #BirdOfTheDay #Corvidae #SciArt

My custom #watercolor Celtic knot listing on the #fandommarket is live! It includes an option for a snake knot painted to resemble your pet 🐍 www.32auctions.com/organization...
