I was gonna start rescuing mages tonight, but there are a million letters on my desk and they're all potential side quests... 😅 #MammalPlaysDA2

Look at this beautiful beast. #SanJuanIsland 📷🌿🦊

to celebrate Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday and mother's day, i decided to draw Materpiscis attenboroughi aka Attenborough's mother fish 1/2

Lol, I've been worrying myself sick about the Scottish elections, and it turns out that with just over half the seats called, the local branch of the fascist clowns have won not a single one so far. Scotland, I love ya 💙🤍

New naraoid! I feel obligated to share 😅 *points at username*

Right, let's see how much progress this bloody game ate. (I'm kicking myself because I kept meaning to save on Monday and then forgetting...) #MammalPlaysDA2

I have to be up early tomorrow to be an adult AGAIN, but I was a very good adult today (I SURVIVED A PHONE CALL WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE, please clap) and fuck it, game night is on. World-altering decisions won't make themselves! #MammalPlaysDA2

#WoTskies, it's finally happening. We're getting a board game from @direwolfdigital.com (which is great news)!! I've been waiting for this (and annoying them every year at #PaxUnplugged) since they announced the license 2+years ago.

Sharing "Star Wars" images on this "May The Fourth"? Don't forget alt text! Alt text is crucial for people who are blind, who have low vision, and others who use screen readers. #MayTheFourth #MayTheFourthBeWithYou #MayThe4thBeWithYou #MayThe4th #StarWarsDay #StarWars #a11y

Hello everyone in 2023 I had hosted a challenge on Twitter called #WritersMayhemOfMay It had 3 parts, a 7 day Q/A, a 7 day Snippet Share, and then a Make A Playlist party where everyone suggest songs that fit the vibes of book pitches I was wondering if anyone would be interested if I did it again?

May the force be with you! Happy Star Wars day 😊 #fanart #starwars #starwarsday

What I do *not* appreciate, though, is that I have to be in melee range to activate my hitty bashy girl skillz. What was wrong with deciding to shield bash the nearest darkspawn from twenty feet away?

Oh, and the DA2 master thread so I can find my own nonsense One: I get confused by the new interface and flail about familiar faces. There's also some arriving on hostile shores in small boats, I guess. bsky.app/profile/nara... (📌 livetweets da2)

It's a bit late and I'm a bit knackered, and the Origins fic is not *quite* done (I have the obligatory sappy epilogue to write 🤭), buuuut methinks it's time for the much-awaited* return of Gamer Mammal 🧵 *By... One person, lol. @blogofmanythings.art your wait is over, thank you for your patience!😛

Reminder that you should listen to my podcast (and subscribe and tell your friends) cuz editing it is a lot of work to have only 6 biweekly listeners haha

Evolution is an engineer without a UX specialist. So all solutions, crappy user interface.

It's tough seeing every single freelance artist I know having the same "uhh I haven't had paying work or sales in weeks" posts, it's gotten extremely tough out there for us. If you have the means, please consider treating yourself to a commission or print or book from an artist you like, it helps!

This is coming from a place of warmth and acceptance… -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It’s ‘one fell swoop’ -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’

After surviving the initial shock of moving to my well-heated cave, Alistair the potted rose is now doing so well that I'm soon going to need expert advice on how to keep a rose bush tiny without killing it 😅 🌹

WE HAVE NEW IMAGES OF EARTH FROM ARTEMIS II!!! LOOK AT HOW BEAUTIFUL OUR PLANET IS!! HAPPY EARTH DAY!

The ducklings were nowhere to be seen when I walked home, but we have brand new moorchicks! (I saw two, but the other was way ahead of the rest of the family) #birds

A ROCK THAT CURIOSITY FOUND ON MARS IN 2020 HAS BEEN ANALYZED AND INCLUDES ORGANIC MOLECULES THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN SEEN ON MARS BEFORE!!

Apparently the 3M sticky strips for putting things on walls actually do what they say. They're dead easy to remove and they didn't take any paint off the wall! (This is a pleasant surprise, lol)

Update #2: Quicksilver, a detector for AI-generated music. Most folks today are not aware that AI-generated music (entire songs generated by AI models) are growing rapidly. Today, there are more AI-generated songs than human-created songs arriving each week on platforms like Spotify.

I just got to this part in the fic, and the DA writers dropping this phrasing in a Very Serious Situation will never not crack me up. (Yeah, the loop in your hole line went in verbatim, lol. I could not resist.) #MammalWrites

Coming May 19th! A scifi/fantasy anthology featuring 11 authors from 6 continents (we were, unfortunately, unable to find either an Antarctic researcher or a penguin to join us) Together is a Distant Star contains stories of "belonging" mostly by women, queer, and otherwise marginalized authors.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD morning and happy #WoTWhalesDay! That's right, after a very long hiatus, I am going to bring this series back, baby! It may not be every week, but I will try to do this more often, at least until the fall. #TheWheelOfTime #WoTSkies

TIL that somehow I was still paying the Prime subscription I thought I'd cancelled the moment Amazon axed #TheWheelOfTime. What the fuck. (Well, I cancelled it again. I hope it sticks this time 😠)

This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10 (IG: astro_christina)

One small task

I don't think anybody should have a supermajority ever, and I can't quite bring myself to trust that things will actually get better yet, but for the first time in sixteen years... I feel hope for my homeland. BRB, going to cry the good tears now 🇭🇺 (FWIW, this is why I was in Edinburgh today)

Trying to get home from Edinburgh, stuck in traffic on a packed bus, send help 😣

In other news, I thought @karkkidoesart.bsky.social would like to know that I saw a guy today who was a spitting image of Baby Marcus (fewer blood splatters, though 😆)

Ah, the sweet sounds of spring! (Read: #RoofGull mating season has officially begun 🤭)

HECK YES

Apparently my venerable and still fully functional Kindle will no longer be supported by the 'zon, which means I won't be able to download new books on it. (😒) Okay, folks. I recently found out that Android tablets with e-ink displays are a thing. Has anyone had experience with them?

woke up and still thinking about these

It may do absolutely no flipping good at all but you can email Keir Starmer and ask him to remove permission for the US to use UK bases here: contact.no10.gov.uk #Iran #Trump #War

I'm at the end stages of ficcifying my DA:Origins game, the Denerim city map is open for reference, and let me just say, it will never stop being funny that the river that waters the capital of fucking Ferelden is named after Orlesian emperors #DragonAge #MammalWrites

Happy Easter! 🌊🐇 🐡 #art #Easter #seabunny #nudibranch #invertebrate

I'm having a 20% discount on my INPRNT store for Easter weekend ✨ Special code - NYJ9UFN7 www.inprnt.com/gallery/thom...

Today is a great day to decide to make your social media more accessible for ppl like me and turn the alt text reminder on in settings -> accessibility and then only share posts with alt text! It is a small way to make the world a better place. 🫶

Considering that I spent several seasons of Clone Wars and Rebels wanting to throw Maul into a volcano, I think I'm gonna let someone watch the new show and tell me if there's anyone I might actually like in it before giving it a try😅 #StarWars #MaulShadowLord

Found the tiny, well-hidden serial number on my headphones... only for the support chat window to disappear from the Bose website. So either I phone them or... wait for the supposedly 24/7 chat to be functional again? Le sigh. They're *really* not making it easy to make use of that warranty...

The hills of manchico? 👀

a very quick lil #SciArt doodle for a happy #transdayofvisibility #tdov 🍒

#WoTSkies please send some love to Rob, host of MalkieriCon, Three Wheeling and Three-fold Talk. He's been really going through it lately! Please support and/or share as you are able.

I don't know if I should find it funny or annoying that Wild came up with refillable roll-ons like a month after I finally caved and bought their refillable stick. (I *hate* stick deodorant, but at the time, it was the only refillable option I could grab off a shelf in a normal shop near me)
