I’m not sure if I hadn’t seen “Guys on Boats” by @mothdude.bsky.social before but the speckled paper was just too pretty to pass up. While the places mentioned in “Places to See Birds” are all places I go to with some regularity, it’s a good reminder to actually look for them. 😼

For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art

Short errand walk, early this afternoon, to take care of things I was too zonked to do after work yesterday evening, included a stop at Caffetto for comfort carrot cake and coffee.

A spilled ink phoenix for #ArtAdventCalendar day 24! Made with polymer clay, an empty fountain pen ink bottle, and chameleon powder to make the feathers shimmer in the light.

File under: “Nobody asked for this...” Fan Art Phone Wallpaper for Twin Cities Comedy Folk band, The Dregs’ Chappell Roan parody Christmas song penned by their newest member, “Hot Ho Ho” that I saw them perform Sunday night. (Yes, I did buy the font just for this purpose, lol)

Hope is a thing with wings ("a thing w/feathers") a thing that sings when fed a crumb & grows, whole loaves to others you may never see, a grace made, an *action* what if things were a bit easier? if we dream of what could be, & rise to find the recipe in our hands? what if we have enough for all?

I feel like I'm going to get a lot of use out of this Pluribus screencap

This machine kills fascists

To reuse a meme from a bit ago that's still way too fucking apt:

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

Found a comic I made a few years back #art #traditionalart #comic

Minneapolis’ city council president knows how important it is to plow our bikeways… because he rides year round. I wish more electeds had experience walking, biking & taking transit - esp in winter!

Memed photo of @johnmaddening.bsky.social because f*ck that dude (not really, lol). ( Original photo by @sntrzphoto.bsky.social )

cannot begin to tell you how happy I am to have stumbled upon the Paris building shared by metal music fans and the union for metal workers, what a delight

Neat.

[Soo Line Garden is one of my favorite spots for dancing with (& photographing) bees and other insects.]

HBOMax has started showing a 'remastered' 4K Mad Men and they’ve messed things up so during Roger’s oyster vomit scene you can now see the crew men with the vomit hose on the right

This snowy day was perfect for holiday meal leftovers.

Playwright Tom Stoppard has died at 88. Did you know he ghost-wrote George Lucas and Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? kottke.org/20/11/tom-st...

if you steal a cell phone or wallet in paris they kick you out of the french thieve's guild for insufficient whimsy

I have to wonder how much local LE/politicians/news orgs are kind of counting on the coming weather + holiday drowning this story out. Sharing this video at your Thanksgiving table might be an important thing you can do in the next couple of days.

Traded some dollar coins for a couple small things at Sunday’s Odd Market at Odd Mart. And found a book I wanted in an LFL.

I like this city’s water. 🤷

Found a friend on the sidewalk.

Yes of course. Use any given fae in your story. What could go wrong? They're famously chill about names.

Critics say a proposed ban on cryptocurrency kiosks in St Paul will harm small businesses who specialize in scamming your grandma and will just push grandmas to nearby towns to get scammed. kstp.com/crime-soluti...

Chicagoans are making, sharing, and printing designs for whistles that can warn people when ICE is in the area. The goal is to “prevent as many people from being kidnapped as possible.”

of all the things about this deal that are pissing me off this might have pissed me off the most
