🎶The best part of waking up is screaming “What the fuck?!”🎶

Ugh, love to wake up in the middle of the night to find out we are bombing another country. Again.

I think I would use my e-book reader, so I can use all of them.

The trail was calling. No, seriously.

*sniff* it’s gonna be such a good year *wipes away a tear*

Toshikoshi soba! This is a noodle soup traditionally eaten in Japan on New Year’s Eve (and other times, but especially on NYE)

I’m feeling a little smug this evening, as I filled up another sketchbook - which makes at least three, possibly four, that I have finished off this year.

Tonight‘s dinner was a bowl of homemade kitsune udon (with Hello Kitty kamaboko) and inarizushi.

Baby’s first homemade hotpot!

It is gusty out there, has gone from 83°F to 57°F, and wow, what strange clouds

Been listening to “Kindred: Neanderthal Life, Love, Death, and Art” by Rebecca Wragg Sykes on my evening walks, and I took a moment to look up at the sky during this passage, and it hurt that almost all of the stars are missing here. None of the ancestors would recognize this sky.

Christmas Lights on Houses, rated: Best: Twinkling, multicolored Christmas lights This is a classic, it’s playful, it brings joy

I got to be physically in the presence of these masterpieces today, and that makes it an excellent day, even if I ate too many Christmas cookies and my tummy hurts now.

ACAB includes John McClane but I am still watching Die Hard for Christmas.

Absolutely delightful!

This is probably my favorite artwork from last year. An older piece, but still one I'm particular fond of. #sciart #wildlife #mammals #primates #apes #orangutans

I had one last page left in this sketchbook to fill up, and I adored this photo by @wizentrop.bsky.social I am so happy with how it turned out! Feeling like I actually am getting better at arting! 🐡

#TeaWitches 2025 edition. #art Day 22: Lapsang Souchong my favourite tea I only drink a few cups a year of, because it tastes like a liquid forest fire (positive).

I let myself have one of my Christmas presents to myself today, so that I can play with them as I like this coming week. Holbein granulating watercolor Moon set. Since the moon is one of the default things I draw, I thought the Moon set would be fun to have.

Happy Winter Solstice. #art

I think it’s a good omen when I am blessed by a visit from the Cedar Waxwings on Solstice morning, yes?

#ArtAdventCalendar day 21 A commission for @skulleigh.com from earlier this year of their alter ego; the tea gnome, but this time kayaking!

Happy Solstice!

QRP with your flower art 🌺🌸🌼

“I can draw & paint the moon, I wonder if I can emboss one?” Lol, no. 😂 I think I did it too small, I need to work bigger, I cant get fine enough lines. #SciArt

Rose’s bday is on the 28th, a tricky date that exists in the dead zone between Xmas and newyears. Did you forget to get her something? She says she will gladly accept likes, views, and shares on our stopmo Yule log! Don’t forget to subscribe! youtu.be/hI6yiZnoas4?...

I gave my first lemon pig to a friend so I made another one for myself and it’s so bad 😂 I am kind of enjoying being bad at something, lol.

Thank you to @travale.bsky.social and @pamwishbow.bsky.social for reminding me I fell for a demo at a craft show and bought all the tools, made one project & them forgot about them. Until now.

I haven’t been posting it because I didn’t wanna spoil anybody, but I got the Inkvent calendar this year. I only have a couple of normal Diamine inks, and now the ink that I pulled out of the calendar today has confused the heck out of me.

I really should go to sleep but I keep thinking about the watercolor sketchbook I have *almost* filled.

The finest in crustacean art!

Canadian friends, get the pigeon goblet and enjoy something in it for me!

What does it mean? "Rocks and stones that are revered as the dwelling place of gods." And it is literally a pile of stones (石) in the shadow of some mountains (山) that you are listening (聞) to. Y'know, to hear the gods!

Speaking of sensible: I was only just introduced to this kanji today, and while it initially comes off as positively satanic-tier due to the number of strokes required to write it involved? It is equally sensible! I give you: iwakura.

It's just so SENSIBLE

I am losing my mind at the animated dryer lint that are these chicks.

Goddammit.

Everything is extremely 😬 but I have a new fountain pen for drawing to play with after work. ✒️

I tried one of these style things a couple years back (different brand, not this one) and I think this style is just a bad idea all around.

Someone was asking if they could print out this image for a sign to carry at a protest against anti-trans legislation and the answer to anyone with a similar question is a thousand times yes. Wave Furious Trans Raccoon at as many genital-obsessed clowns as you like, no charge 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

Friends don't let friends vote for this guy. He's scraping the bottom of the barrel in a state party that includes Ken Paxton.

I think I managed to pick up a little bit of the Aurora with another 10 second exposure!

I can’t tell if I am seeing the faintest pink of Aurora or if that’s just compression and my desperate desire to see the northern lights.
