Just watered all my plants, and the most important plant in the house begged me for a shower as I was filling the watering can, so of course I watered him too. As I should (Sound on)

Just an FYI for people using pronoun labelers. I just switched to @pronounsinb.io due to concerns in this thread.

my first attempt at needle felting.... did i do ok #needlefelt #art

Okay, I'm out for a while because I have to make dinner and I have to get today's posts done. But AFAICT, there's been absolutely no movement on Sama's need to cover lost wages [surgery/recovery] and grocery funds. She's disabled, on a fixed income, and has been through hell.

alright lets look at these

🦈 Chomp! Emus knock giant inflatable shark sprinkler onto unsuspecting ducklings. Emus unrepentant. (Don't worry, no ducklings were harmed!)

the only way in which I am truly an American patriot is how rabidly I want to see England fail

I took this macro photo of an Orangutan crab finding refuge in a stinging-celled bubble coral in Moalboal, Philippines. Yes, a crab with orange hair, cool! 😎 #marinelife #wildlifephotography #wildlife #naturephotography #nature #macrophotography #macro #scuba #eastcoastkin #photography

Please help me finish my thesis so I can finally be free of academia 🫶✨ aidetectionsurvey.carrd.co

All right, tonight's inventory selection. Today's #TBT feature is a pin from Wings's signature series, the Spirit Horse, this one set with royal lapis [shown below]. We have a pair of gemstone-bead earrings from another of his signature series that's includes royal lapis.

I decided to tackle sketching a front and overhead angle, which I have some difficulty with, but this time I felt like I improved! This is her face when she's thinking, "Dear god, this engine's a wreck! How the hell did you even pilot this ship here?" #oc #ocart #sketch

Okay, last thing for tonight. Jen still needs $635 by Wednesday. Which means one day to raise that part of it. 10 ppl, $65 each: spot.fund/2hs2gspsc

Now, tonight's local urgent needs. Something different. As I've mentioned before, some clients/friends entrusted me with some pottery pieces from a late relative's estate, with the proviso that they are to be used for mutual aid purposes only for members of Taos Pueblo.

“Y’ever seen a commie drink a glass of water?”

I’m working on some axolotl dragon pin designs for an upcoming campaign. I wanted to base the colors on real axolotl color morphs. So far I have a golden albino, leucistic, and lavender colors. I think I’m going to make the laying pose be axanthic. #axolotl #illustration

REPEAT AFTER ME, the ONLY words you say when approached by a fed is "am I being detained?" If they say No, you LEAVE. If they say Yes, you ONLY say "I want a lawyer, I plead the 5th, I do not consent to a search." And then you SHUT UP until you have a lawyer, not even ONE more word to them!!!

oh here's another, related to clarity: I know you can zoom in as much as you want and make your brush as tiny as you want digitally, but: don't haha draw at AT MOST twice whatever zoom your comic will be viewed at and choose a handful of sizes for your brush. choose them based on what's *legible*

chilled to the bone at the concept of having to deal with OCD in this AI-obsessed era. i'm so glad i got medicated when i did cause it would be so fucking difficult

gonna do a thread of the pendants ok

Now, tonight's local urgent needs. There are a bunch, but I want to focus on just one. It's a disabled person whose circumstances changed drastically early last year, with a huge increase in expense, putting her about $600 short every month. And she gets no traction.

Now, tonight's local urgent needs. I'm waiting to hear about Jen, who has a very tight deadline, but I don't have any info yet. So two others with tight deadlines and one new emergency:

Some new trinket dishes all set to go for the Forest and Found artisan market at Side Launch Brewing today! #ceramics #horseshoecrab #ptarmagin

this is not to dismiss or argue with any of the people suggesting our lack of universal healthcare is the problem--it is--but just to add nuance: she had extreme addiction problems. UH needs to include care for addiction and mental illness or it will not have helped this particular person at all

HAPPPPPY JUNETEENTH!!!!!! ♥️🖤⚜️🖤♥️ I'm a proud black trans boy!!! btw if you wanna tip and support a disabled black artist, my link is here!!! ko-fi.com/salembunner445

The tender skin beneath the crisp glaze melts in the mouth, as the braised & brined meat tantalizes w a firm yet pliant feel reminiscent of chicken, yes, but also eel. The faint taste of something bitter is sublimated in mouth-watering savory moistness, juxtaposed with the spicy crunch.

Oh I did make another collage card deck as a gift! Always a challenge finishing one of these

At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/

Okay, this is Wings's second cousin, and he really needs help. Steve's car has been out of commission all month. He needs it for his family, and also to drive his mom, Sandra [an elder; Wings's first cousin] to her appointments. There is a good Sportage available up the road for $3,500.

Okay, they will knock $15 off it if she brings in the payment before 6PM today. $185. 19 people, $10 each, and she can save her family's stuff: PayPal: @perf575 Cashapp: $PerfectaChacon

okay so this one is an experiment that needs a really long-ass firing schedule so i am not sure when i will get to fire it. it depends on if i remember how to program it lol

A good thread on screwworms. Talking to an entomologist last year, he also added that the pandemic was the first domino. Scientists couldn’t get to the facilities, couldn’t get out into the field to check outbreak reports.
