The word "salary" comes from Ancient Rome when soldiers used to get paid every month in salamanders. #etymology #linguistics #AncientRome

GENRES ARE MARKETING TOOLS NOT RULES

Two random people followed me today despite the fact that I haven’t opened the app in several weeks. Thank you and here’s a picture of some ducklings on a log that I took on my vacation this summer! I will not make promises of further activity. :P

tired: autistic and allistic wired: 'tism and tisn't

🚫 Don’t: “Everyone is a little autistic.” ✅ Do: “Autistic traits are not exclusive to Autistic people and it’s the cumulative constellation of traits that they have that fundamentally differs from the lived experiences of Non-Autistic people.” (A bit wordy, but maybe the nuance is worth it.)

Raise your hand if you're sure you read something great earlier this year but your memory is terrible!!

Wishing the Elsevier editors who desk-accepted this all the best for their next career moves. doi.org/10.1016/j.ij...

I decided to try Bluesky too^^ Hello everyone! 🦋 #art #dragon #sketchbook

We had over 6000 followers on Twitter before everything started falling apart there. Followers aren't everything, but I need to reach an audience to make a living off these games. If you want to help us build back our audience, please help us spread the word so we can keep making awesome games! 💚🐸

*posts right before I go to bed so my insecure cravings for validation don't leave me opening and closing the app 50 times in the next hour, checking for interactions*

This betta fish from December 2023 was a lot of fun. All the tiny lines that make up the fins and tail were so satisfying, evoking the joy of just doodling. Each color in the fins is a different layer, and each fin itself is a different group of layers. #krita #art #digitalart

First art post! (Finally.) This is one of the first digital art projects I did, about 2 years ago, and it's still one of my favorites. I use it as a profile picture in a lot of places, and I think it actually sparked the way dragonflies have become my Thing(tm). #krita #digitalart

Hello all: It is with a heavy heart that I remove my Starter Pack of "Trustworthy Mesopotamian Copper Ingot Merchants Within the City-State of Ur." I have been informed about some pretty unfortunate oversights on my part and ultimately platformed some creators who should not have been platformed.

I think it’s kinda funny how I keep finding the most niche of starter packs in my discover feed. “Fluvial geomorphology starter pack”? Truly glad you can find your niche people in such a convenient way, but sometimes it just makes me giggle.

I was going to post some of my art today or maybe a poem but I’m too unmotivated to go choose one and write a description for it. Have a picture I took of a tree instead!

One of my most favorite photos.
