I cannot BELIEVE — and I swear I am not making this up — I pulled up behind this motherfucker at the exact instant @iwriteok.bsky.social was talking about Rhodesia in the new anthrax episodes of Behind the Bastards

as a lifelong internet addict it is remarkable how much the past nine months have compelled me to log off

Missing Lowe’s cat returns to Virginia store: ‘She’s part of our family’ trib.al/tzNZ7wR

I will log off forever before I sign on to Mastadon

the hero we need

Well this made me immediately burst into tears, I’m sure that doesn’t mean anything

Revisited this spectacular Kaleb Horton paragraph about crows this morning. "I have met crows that should be in jail" is one of those sentences that's so good you're initially furious you didn't write it yourself before circling back around to just being glad you got to read it.

I actually want people to express moral shock at horrible shocking things. I don’t think that’s naive, I think that’s a sign their heart still works

I dislike the whole “and you’re SURPRISED?!” bullshit whenever anyone expresses alarm at a news event because the people posting it act like they’re wise sages for democracy but are basically doing the work of evil people because there’s nothing evil people want more than for evil to become routine

So busy haven't even had a chance to come on here and say something weird about birds.

non autistic people are like "maybe you shouldnt make train jokes about autistic people" but all the autistic people I know are like "i love this train post toot toot"

Somehow got giant oil spots onto the CENTER FRONT of a VINTAGE SAREE SILK chemise I’m in the middle of sewing (and don’t have any more of the same silk to replace it with) I’m just gonna scream and scream and scream

Me the whole time I was drawing this Eowyn sleeve: >:O

Marching out into the deep woods and telling the first fae I see my whole and true name, I'm fuckin done here time to go

Me to my husband explaining why I leapt out of bed and ran for my iPad yesterday: “okay so there’s this guy Kyle right? Big time brush guy. We love Kyle. And when dumbshit AI features started rolling out in Photoshop, my beloved Procreate poached his ass from the coward Adobe because fuck ‘em…”

Yet another sport I would like an entire docuseries on

Devastated by this news honestly

People who just learned the word ‘groyper’ this morning stop smugly explaining the online alt-right to published experts in that field challenge (Impossible)

I don’t have a solution for the fact that virtually all our large scale mainstream media and tech are in the hands of billionaires who basically come in two flavors: “Fascist”, or “Fascist But Put a Monocle On Him So He Looks Fancy and Smart”, but it is a scary world to live in

some people gleefully choose to guzzle down right wing bullshit, and, well, we can’t do much about those people the way scarier part is how many people confidently believe they are doing it right by avoiding the obvious traps (ie Fox) while still consuming right wing shit that’s hidden better

Ancient Congressman: so it said, "notices, bulges, oh double-u oh-" Patel: sir, it was actually "notices bulge, oh-woh" AC: what's an oh-woh? P: it's a face, sir AC: a face? P: the Os are wide eyes AC: why is the mouth a W? P: I believe it's a dog, sir, or maybe a cat AC: and the bulge?

*watching innocent people rapidly acquire the cursed knowledge that has driven me to madness* oh no

I really hate how many times I’ve had to explain the word “groyper” today. This is the dumbest timeline

Look upon my works (a collection of projects on the back burner, all at 70-85% complete), ye mighty, and despair

fashion icon monty don mentioned!!!

I never work on my birthday but I also never miss the Literary Ink convention in Chattanooga, Tennessee - so yesterday I turned 36 dressed up as a groovy little rosy maple mothmama and tattooed sexy mothmen all day. Might be the best birthday I’ve ever had.

I don’t know what to tell you if you don’t start striking more fear in the hearts of the townsfolk they’ll never erect a burning effigy of you in your yard

'old yakubian ape' is another one of those phrases that's elbowed out a cherished childhood memory in my brain

One of the best things about tattooing is that my beloved, diversely-skilled clients are also now my own army of Guys. Need a motorcycle mechanic? I got a Guy. Wedding flowers? You better believe I got a Guy. Aerospace electrical systems safety engineer? Oh yeah. I got one of those too.

Had all kinda things to do today but I worked twice what my normal workweek is over the past 2 days and now I keep falling asleep on the couch

sad to report that not creating anything for several months at a time is actually exactly what art needs sometimes, and that's why my art suffers deeply when forced into capitalist commercial frameworks lmao

It's Minnesota State Fair time! It's time for Minnesotan folk art! Here, for example, is Saturn Devouring His Corn, in the seed art category!

So much Floor Troll Time with my current sewing project. Good thing I am filled with ✨radiant youth✨ and don’t have to do anything embarrassing like wear my gardening kneepads and startle the mailman who sees me through the window crawling around like a goblin

Baked a little mini loaf of bread to cut with my little mini bread knife.

Soon.

Please hire me to be your town sorcerer. I can scatter wildflower petals to commemorate areas where people spot cool bugs. I can sit on a large boulder and think about extremely tall toads. I can search for leaves that look a bit like local heroes and cryptids.

ok so this is a funny stat but I read the article and then dug into the source and I think you all should be aware it's marketing for agentic AI here's NANDA's tagline: "Be at the forefront of creating the internet of AI Agents. Get exposure and faster adoption for your AI products and tools."

It was a Journey™️ but we did it team, we forged a little mini 6” bread knife (because I am a glutton for punishment)

Started forging a new knife today and I’m pretty sure I got a “sunburn” from the forge lol

My tummy hurts but I’m being very brave about it

aye I know a few birds who’ve changed sex too

you know what they say, bud "if you love what you do, you'll inevitably grow to resent the things you once took joy in"

Y’all ever have an idea so unhinged that you have no choice but to see it through …yeah me neither

i think if you are going to play AI art detective, maybe run it by people privately first and make a public post only once you are absolutely certain? Scary images of art with red circles and text produce an intense reaction in people that just kind of follows artists around regardless of validity

Whenever people told me growing up i was so talented i just wanted to be like "ITS NOT TALENT, IM JUST WEIRD AND DISCOVERED AN OBSCURE SOCIAL EXPLOIT THAT FEEDS ME ATTENTION IN EXCHANGE FOR SOLITARY TOIL"

Trying to figure out how best to wrangle my fabric stash into submission and everything online is like. “How to store scraps” and “How to store fat quarters of crisp quilting cotton” but I’m here with a 26 yard bolt of 60” linen hidden in every spare corner of my house, fighting for my life

No town-bred dandy will compare with a country-bred one—I mean a downright bumpkin dandy

Jeanne de Clisson the 'Lioness of Brittany' watched her husband's execution today in 1343. Then went on one of history's most epic revenge sprees. She sailed the Channel becoming a legendary pirate. Capturing & massacring French crews but always left one survivor to tell the tale.

I kinda think the way people use ChatGPT is sort of aspirational because it seems to emulate the way rich people have sycophants lying to them all the time until they lose touch with reality and also their entire minds
