One of my first pieces today. I made this for my friend @shin-bearamedic.bsky.social back when I had just started calligraphy. Made with a pre-1917 vintage Waterman fountain pen with a flex nib. Ink is Waterman Tender Purple fountain pen ink. #ArtAdventCalendar

With every day looking like fallacy Boggle in our media, they should start teaching logic as core curriculum. Philosophers had this figured millenia ago. "False dilemma?" "Got it." "Red Herring?" "Got it." "Hasty generalization?" "Got it." "Post hoc ergo propter hoc?" "Don't got it, nice catch."

Today! I will be live all day on Twitch for my birthday! Come and hang out while I attempt to beat Metroid Prime in one Stream! This is also a push to hit 100 followers before the New Year. I hope to see you there! Live around 11am-11:30am cst! www.twitch.tv/a_i_42 #gremlinsquad #TheRobit

I had such a wonderful time at PAX Unplugged this year! Indie liteRPGs, cryptids galore, panels about monster design and the definition of evil... amazing experiences, interesting people, and incredible stories to be had; such a vibe. 🥰 Will I be going to PAX Unplugged 2026? You bet your tail I am!

It is time! @persephonearethusa.bsky.social, @eapendragon.bsky.social, and this bear are PAX-bound, hitting up Unplugged! Tabletop shenanigans galore, panels to teach us how to make our imaginations come to life, and spending time amongst our folk. @officialpax.bsky.social and Philly, here we come!

been working with WyldForest lately to give mushrooming tours in Forest Park...it's such a fun gig 🍄

The Robit is back to streaming! Tonight, @shin-bearamedic.bsky.social and I are back in Alien: Isolation! Come watch, hang out, and laugh at me for being a scared Robit! www.twitch.tv/a_i_42

Verizon: "May I ask why you have decided to cancel your line with us?" Shin: "I mean... sure, if you must." Paying $75/mo. to get spammed by LLMs and politicians. What a joke. I'm turning into such a hermit... heh. To find me, you have to take the secret path in the woods to the mystical grove.

Another glimpse at my friend's art. You should go check it out! www.patreon.com/posts/ravens...

I am very spooky xox Find some special, spooky, originals at the Fishing Quarter Gallery in Brighton, UK 28th October - 2nd of November! Xox

I'm tired of "this is how it is now". I cancelled Spotify and still listen to music. I am switching to Linux but will still be streaming. I cancelled my Amazon and have been buying locally. I have never used chatGPT and am still alive. I have never used AI for art or writing, yet still do both.

'Tis official. Since Win11 is making "surveillance state" mandatory, after my streams on Fri/Sat, I switch to Linux completely. I'm not new to Linux, but I've always been a gamer first. With the new direction things are heading, though...? I'll take the hit. If a game doesn't work, so be it.

You know that moment when you are groggy and cold, waiting for the coffee to finish and you check your phone to see the love of your life has sent you something that makes you smile for an unreasonably long time? That moment that reminds you that you have found someone that sees you? Yeh. 😊

*Gives a deep sigh, wondering what happened to the world he used to love.*

Just a little something positive from an artist friend of mine. 🥰 www.patreon.com/posts/acts-o...

Niece: "Uncle, they banned books at school." Me: "Let me see the list... Ah, I see what they did there; they don't like looking at themselves in the mirror." <Hands over personal collection of Orwell, Vonnegut, and Bradbury.> "Here, this'll get you started." I'd be terrible at raising mindslaves.

Age Verification: The melodious clicking from the 5 1/4" floppy drive led to the potential of dying from dysentery.

The Shin has formally decided that the "topper" ice creams offered by Ben & Jerry's are not bear-approved. The chocolate topping gets in the way of shoving all of the delicious ice cream directly into the maw. We all know that the entire pint is going to be consumed. Why put something in the way?

@thegremlinsquad.stream raised $2291.01 for @starlight.org, let's go! Every little bit DID help, and everyone coming together funded a new Starlight Nintendo Handheld for a children's hospital, amongst other things. Awesome job, everyone, truly. *big bear hug* www.twitch.tv/videos/25650...

Does anyone know of a movie where the protagonist is a gay male and simply has a relationship like it is natural? Like... it isn't political, doesn't end in tragedy, and isn't a social commentary? Just two gay men happy and in love? Looking for things to watch with my sweetheart and was curious.

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Remember, Tolkien didn't start working on "The Hobbit" until he was 41 years old. It started as tales for his children that took over 4 years to complete, and he finally published it at the age of 45. It is never too late to start working on something that truly calls to you. Embrace your passion.

I have returned from the camping! Tents, campfires, nature sounds, bathing in the river, eating good food, keeping good company, scribbling in a journal, and disconnecting from this ridiculous world to do bear things. A much needed reset to the brainsmeats. Photo by @persephonearethusa.bsky.social.

Hey sleuth, wanted to throw out a rally call to all the pet lovers out there! @mrbrogath.bsky.social and @annabelinda.bsky.social have a history of taking in rescues and providing shelter to the floofers in need. They hope to raise funds for the care of three new ones; Smoky, Tak, and Zim! [...]

"You cannot get educated by this self-propagating system in which people study to pass exams, and teach others to pass exams, but nobody knows anything. You learn something by doing it yourself, by asking questions, by thinking, and by experimenting." - Richard Feynman.

Don't let random nobodies tell you what is or isn't worth your time. If you wanna learn how to draw even though you aren't young- go for it. Who gives a shit if your hobby is metal detecting or crochet. Learn a talent, enjoy a hobby, and live YOUR life- not the life other's shame you into living!

The Robit stomps back into dead space!! www.twitch.tv/a_i_42 #gremlinsquad #horrorgame #vtuber
