the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

I went to Japan for a week and it was very cool I would like to be back in Japan now thank you

Well don't I feel stupid

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year? How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

I feel I cannot let Skunktember pass without reposting this AMAZING animation @talidraws.bsky.social did. HA few things I have ever seen truly capture the appeal of a skunk's weighted blanket, fluffy floomph tail quite like this. Hope you brought more than one brush...

What did they mean by that chat

omg its like he's really there

Drawing pokemon portraits based on what people tell me to draw + Applin bc I like Applin. Will do more of this :3 #Pokemon #fanart

"Who's the cutest Chocobo? You are! Have some greens, you deserve em'" Jak got a soft spot for chicken taxis, bonus if they used to he people

we're on the precipice of a universal antiviral medication, mRNA technology is out here curing cancers every other month, HIV is cureable AND preventable, renewables generate more energy now than fossil fuels worldwide and and more cost-effective, coral reefs are growing back all over the world rn

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

Back on my magical object obsession lmao ... 😳 [🏷️ #quad #feral #transformation #quadcollar #biirdpersonal]

Hard to pick just one, but I just got this one on my dash and I do love it a lot

Reminder that I will be openning c0mmisi0ns on Saturday (6.9.CET) so if you would be interested be sure to keep an eye out ! :>

Flying from Vegas to Oakland we saw from our window: - a space ex rocket launch - the Garnet fire - the second (third?) stage rocket fire or the debris burning up in the atmosphere, not sure which - another thousand acre fire north of Fresno

20 yo Spellsword: so yeah even though it's ice-enchanted it can still infuse with the Stream of Zalaran for additional dark affinity 50 yo Warrior: you can't get a good axe that just does physical damage anymore. it's all elemental flavored shit. in my day a melee weapon would never scale with INT

he’s so real for this

I got him certified

it’s great and cool and fun to grow food but “grow your own food” as a response to a crisis when literally the entirety of civilization has revolved around the provision of food will never not make me think less of you

Don't think I ever posted these but my biggest knitting project I actually finished was these half-arm length scaled gauntlets :3

Pierre-Auguste Renoir - "Julie Manet with Cat (detail)" (1877)

a long time ago when I was still in a band recording music we'd do something called the "friend's car" test, where we'd ride in a car and play our latest mix on their car stereo and see how it sounds. always assume most access to your art is via the shittiest tech, and focus on clarity, not fidelity

It is SO hard to conceptualize the time scale of past events. A single black plague epidemic happened over 9 years in the 1300s, I can't imagine 9 years happening.

I think anyone who has done customer service before wants to be as efficient as possible when calling. But here, you need to play the part of someone who is incapable of doing any self-service while also embodying the kind neighbor who eats up 15 minutes of your life whenever you pass their porch.

Here to help! 💪 [ #art #characters #taurs ]

a bug

Tryin this out now but commission form is open! forms.gle/i2strTakHmLJ... It'll be open until Friday night at 9pm and I'll be choosing and contacting people Saturday.

Can't even be assed to slap a funny Pokemon design on the console, damn

Still open, btw!

back from SGDQ and learning the new FEZ skips. Any% runs soon :33

I am quite fond of this dragon

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

GAMES DONE QUEER ANNOUNCEMENT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR US TO ANNOUNCE THIS FOR MONTHS

I'm sorry #SGDQ2025 is ending soon 😭 but what if I told you we have MORE speedruns tomorrow? 🤔 Tune in at 1 PM ET for our Showrunner Showcase where you'll get a glimpse of GDQ Hotfix!

Not sure that the latest chapters of a newly released story heavy rpg is a great choice for the GDQ finale but I guess I'm not the games committee

not only that, seeing GDQ continue to thrive after giving more visibility to trans speedrunners over the years and taking an active role against bigotry at their events, a GAMING EVENT, is great too for challenging the "making our gaming space inclusive will make us lose players" rhetoric

HAPPY HATCHDAY @aspekt.gg LOVE YOU!! 🩷🩷
