I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

DO YOUR PART!

might as well just... add some additional panels

Ah, capitalism, the bubble making machine that will end us all.

Some snow here in Norway, I was waiting for a willow Ptarmigan to run and warn me of the werewolf. I have no doubt there are things lurking in these woods.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

I could watch this vicious battle all day 🥹

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

Something interesting you might not have realized: a number of words in English are NOUNS when you stress the FIRST syllable, but VERBS when you stress the SECOND syllable. "Your CONduct is better when you conDUCT yourself appropriately.” 🧵⬇️

When I have a bad day and take pain meds I try to distract myself so they work better. If I'm still extremely grumpy a couple hours later... The pain meds apparently didn't work. Today is one of those days.

hmmmmmm

Let's talk about generative AI, contaminated information, and rhubarb. Once upon a time, Europe was at war. Food was scarce, and the government of the quote-unquote United Kingdom looked for alternatives. 1/

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

Bumping up on my lunch to say that at $1,710, this Shakespeare production is just a HAIR under 1/3 funded in less than 24 hours.

Regular reminder that George Washington hated the idea of political parties so much that he spent a large chunk of his farewell address telling people to Stop That Shit Right Now.

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Hey, artist! Quote with your red art!❤️

Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

In 2026, I want one thing – a kidney donated from a living donor for my partner. I've lost sleep over whether I should post this – it's a massive ask. Sometimes I wonder if it's asking too much? But the reality is that I'm unable to donate my kidney, and he has zero family who are in the position

Honestly my favourite work from 2025, and it was a random MS paint challenge #pixelart

bye 2025👋

Art vs. artist 2025! I didn't draw as much this year because I was busy writing... Whoops. Still got some awesome dragons done in Inktober, though! #pathfinder #fantasyart #humanartist

Haunting festive presence.

@sailorrooscout.bsky.social did a good breakdown of what was noted in the paper, in a long thread post.

Wrapping up the discussion of hands in pockets, and briefly considering hands on hips. There's a lot of arm drama out there! (3/3)

Thinking about arm rotation, and what our elbows do when we stick our hands in our pockets. (2/3)

A final batch of figure drawing tips for 2025. Following up on hands, we investigate what happens when we stick 'em in our pockets... (1/3)

Snurched from J.R. Cason, whom I do not know, but it provides a handy way to say that there are only 19 reviews of SUPERNATURAL CRIMES UNIT: NYPD Book 1 on Amazon and it would be REALLY FABULOUS if there were 31 more to hit that 50-review threshold. Thank you! www.amazon.com/Supernatural...

My book comes out in February and I want to spend some of my year traveling around a bit and doing reading events but I don’t really know how to make that happen. Has anyone done a DIY book tour and can pass along advice for how they made it work?

I can get behind this

Thread. With a cheerful vengeance. 😏

Day 19: Arctic. I had D&D today and still decided it would be a good idea to do a complicated blizzard dragon. 😅 No regrets. #Inktober #art #dragons #blizzard #DnD

Day 31: Award. Here's your trophy--you made it to Halloween! Congrats to all who made it through (or even did some of) Inktober, too! You rocked it! #Inktober #dragons #art

a very meowy christmas for all who celebrate!

So I am going to say something about romance as a genre. A lot of people think that romance is ignorable because <insert thing they think about romance> and romance authors don't count because <insert thing they think about romance>. This thread is not about whether you have to like romance.

CLERIC: I’m gonna cast Dispel Magic on the far edge of the goo. GM: … CLERIC: I don’t know what it’s gonna do, so everybody back up. GM: ……… GM: (thinking): If he rolls high, he’s got enough finesse to stop the reaction. ASSASSINS: Wait, if it’s a contiguous puddle— CLERIC: *rolls low*
