Way to go @mothership.bsky.social !!! Love to see this!

i'm jaen nighly, a trans illustrator, specializing in b&w art. i'm open for commissions of the fantastic, macabre, & sublime. i'm particularly interested in doing covers, splash pages, posters, & other large pieces. DM or email to get in my queue! 💼 jnb.art ✉️ [email protected] #portfolioday

Excited to introduce Vibes from Meta. Eat your slop, piggies!

In this ever-dehumanizing, anti-arts world, I implore you to please go out of your way to support artists! - Be it $ (even $1 mo means something to us!) - verbal support - sharing / re-posting it's as crucial as "shopping local". Don't like my work - all good! Find an artist you do like, support!!

The only way to win is by lumping and the only way to lump is by prongling.

Never wonder whether it's COVID or FLU again. ANNOUNCING THE FIRST combo rapid tests FOR HOME, approved by Health Canada. Detect COVID, FLU A, and FLU B with just one swab. This is a great tool to have ready the next time a family member isn't feeling well.

Every time I chop jalapenos I forget to be careful and every time I get stinging fingers.

It's a time for joyful bunnies! 🐇 This expression is joyful, right? 😅 Yesterday was #InternationalRabbitDay, so take a moment to appreciate this Imari dish from the 19th century of rabbits and pondweed. Held by the Tokyo National Museum: colbase.nich.go.jp/collection_i...

the Command & Conquer series is 30 years old today we so have an excuse to share this iconic moment with Tim Curry

tbh reposting this on here (there aren't a lot of kids on here) feels a bit futile so I just want to champion Scarleteen as a really incredible accessible resource for kids seeking inclusive sex ed (+ other stuff re: teen safety) and if you can get it into the hands of kiddos now that'd be good

Them: So what have y'all been up to? Me: Haha, you know. The usual. The Usual:

In the process of cleaning out my office space, I discovered an old phone I had not thrown away. The lithium ion battery inside it had swollen up and split the phone in half. I've taken it to the hazardous waste disposal, but I sweat thinking about what might have happened had I not discovered it.

I went to animation school for five years and I still Google "how to draw cartoons" sometimes

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

Far too often I stay up watching cooking shorts on YouTube. Usually I feel this is a poor use of my time and universally I regret it the next morning, but I do think it's slowly making me a better cook. I'm increasingly able to come up with a meal from whatever we have on hand and enjoy the results.

Things aren’t feeling very easy breezy beautiful covergirl atm

My little office / studio room had become a terrible hovel where we stuffed things that didn't have a good home. Today I've begun taking things out and reorganizing it and it feels good. Hopefully it'll be a more useful and maintainable space. Still a mess so pics are not forthcoming at this time.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Naked authoritarian fascism. Love and support to the entire team at @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social, who *will* come out the other side of this horrendous abuse of power. Disgusted to see ABC caving to this glaringly illegal and unconstitutional threat from Brendan Carr.

Post a mage! 🐟

Chiitan loves all transgender people. I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives. Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like. love you all 🤍 ↓ www.instagram.com/reel/C9qppva...

There are few things as nerve-wracking as a parent as finding an empty silly putty container.

DAMMIT. Last night I had a cool ttrpg mechanic idea in the car and thought "I'd better write that down when I get home, that's pretty good." I forgot to write it down and now it's gone.

Lasers & Feelings in the Financial Times. Let's go

HUMAN artists, use only one #art piece to convince people to follow you!

I'm all messed up on jet lag. I would like to start doing creative things but my brain feels all scrambled and fuzzy. I've just woken up at midnight after going to bed at 6 pm.

Beautiful bug!!!

Well jet lag has robbed us all of sleep this morning so it's time to read comics.

The Moomy (1999)

I don't especially care about the Minecraft movie but my kid loved it. Sometimes out of the blue I'll ask her "hear that?" Then I wait a beat and say "that's the sound of sizzlEEN" and she grins so big and starts singing the lava chicken song and it makes me really happy.

Barbarian Sci-fi Game Zine you-know-what-ing next week. Hand drawn. Bespoke 2d6 system. Print and play. Share this post and one or two might fall off the truck early! If you wanna review copy for your blog, pm me. You aren't gonna wanna miss this one!

Shrimp escapade 🦐

Well crap. I bought the fancy canned tomatoes imported from Italy partially as a test to see if you can actually taste the difference. You absolutely can and then difference is substantial. Shit, they're like 5 bucks a can! I can't afford this!

Been trying to explain these ideas simply FOR YEARS and I finally figured out how youtu.be/YPM31WZjR3w

What a fucking morning. Due to jet lag and possibly a missed medicine dose my kid was unable to sleep a wink all night. So that sucked. On top of that I have removed no fewer than eight wasps from our house this morning that came in a gap in the kitchen window.

Made it back to Canada. Thanks for the hospitality, Japan! I'm excited to sleep in my own bed.

Can we please understand what is happening? He is disarming us as a prelude to our extermination. And making us mentally unfit to own firearms as a matter of law will exclude us from all manner of legal rights. www.cnn.com/2025/09/04/p...

Waiting for a connecting flight and working on some treasure tables. The jet lag is probably impacting quality...

Hey #mtg nerds: What's your fav robot or golem card art? I like cool robots and magic cards and want to benefit from your knowledge so I can see pretty robot pictures.

Liberals are starting to say shit like, "trans people asked for too much too fast," and I'll remind your souless asses that we actually didn't ask for anything. we were minding our own business and quietly improving our healthcare and you (cis) decided to do a pogrom against us for no reason.

OF COURSE after two weeks of scorching hot weather, the day of our flight we get a typhoon warning and it's pouring rain. I am hoping our flight isn't impacted. It's been fun but I'm ready to go home.

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #nsfw #censorship #canpoli @acvalens.net

Oh, I have good news.

Hold me closer Tony

The whole Tokiwaso neighbourhood is an absolute oasis in Tokyo with such a respect for manga. The shopkeeps and restauranteurs have all been incredibly kind to us, and my kid who hates sitting still has been fully engrossed in a Doraemon manga for the last two hours.

I can see an argument for having a toggle, but I like the challenge it adds to the game. And it's not like the game doesn't give you ample chance to get cool weapons. Damn near every enemy you defeat carries one.

Weapon durability in Zelda Breath of the Wild was a good thing, actually
