Taking stock of my progress over the last 5 years since I started painting again. Here's the first mini I did after losing my dominant arm, and the last one for contrast. I keep Nigel the Ultramarine on my desk to remind myself that I've improved massively no matter what the brain gremlins say :)

here’s a nice one to print out and keep in your heathcare binder also if you have a preteen make sure to ask about gardesil

“That kite is junk,” said the robins. “Throw it away and go home.” Toad ran back to Frog. “This kite is junk,” he said. “I think we should throw it away and go home.” “Toad,” said Frog, “we need one more try.”

I’m half tempted to get some memorial jewelry for my dog who passed away last year. I considered a tattoo, but my husband would have to look at that when I’m naked and I don’t want him associating sad thoughts w/ my naked. (Not that I would get a nose print tattooed on my butt, but still—)

One guy tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up a plane with a bomb in his sneakers, and everybody had to take off their shoes at the airport for the next 20 years. Chatbots have a collective body count equal to Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez, and they're trying to put them in schools.

happy 85th birthday to Hayao Miyazaki

the new year

And I started this year by finishing coloring this art piece! Exploring the origins of the Sharkfolk and Roberto's past. Between ancestors, supernatural events, and mysterious human figures, the sea still hides secrets from its own guardian sharks. 🌊🦈✨

Ugh, I just gagged a little at the thought of having to use this. I'm so happy I switched to Open Office years ago, when I decided I actually needed a word processor but didn't want to capitulate to a subscription model. (It's not too late to switch!) www.openoffice.org

PSA for any bat-friends inspired by this post: thick work gloves like the ones being worn in this picture are absolutely necessary before attempting to handle a bat! Do not let it anywhere near bare skin! And if it appears ill or is acting erratically, do not approach, just call a pro

Furries are a sign of a healthy online ecosystem btw. Think of us like endemic fauna, but hornier

Absolutely love Beam, their quality is outstanding and Anong Beam is just one of the loveliest people there is

Sorry truck bros, your new $150k "TRDPRO Duramax Triton Bighorn Texas Ranch Steakhouse Lonestar edition" will never match the masc/butch perfection of this 80s farm pickup with class 8 big rig tires and a bored dog in the back:

I’ve got a friend in need in my Mom Group, and I just bought her the Poorcraft Cookbook from @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social 📖 My girl needs congee. ❤️

I wrote about Grok's CSAM problem and how journalists keep fumbling the story www.readtpa.com/p/grok-cant-...

The lead up to WW3 is shaping up to be even stupider than the lead up to WWI

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

Time to go sew the #SmartDoll yukata (freebie pattern). If it fits on Kimiko and her gigantic #DDdy tiddies, perfect! If not, I'm sure Haruka ( #smartdollprideprowess ) would love to have it. I'll also give it a quick test on Penelope to see if I can alter the pattern, or have to buy new. #dollsky

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

🌕 Wolf Moon The full moon in Cancer encourages us to reflect on our relationships with others, as well as with ourselves; it is a time to move on from out past, and look ahead to the future. Ben belongs to @hellagirlpunk.bsky.social ; Tobias is mine.

On his first day in office, the Mayor of New York toured the crumbling apartment of one of his constituents. On his 348th day in office, the President of the United States shops for marble and onyx for a ballroom nobody wants.

Time to dust this one off again

Drink some water. Go for a walk. Put your phone down. No amount of doom scrolling is going to make things better. If you want to do something, make a plan to protest and call your representatives. Dont run your nervous system ragged on socials rn

holy fuck

I own a Cintiq 21UX. It's perfectly functional, but it's over a decade old, now. When I attempt to update it through the manufacturer's interface, it literally tells me to buy a new tablet instead of downloading the drivers.

Struggling through work today on yet more sleep deprivation…

(*heavy sigh*) Maybe it will happen today.
