Being somewhere else, on my own, alone with the only person I know being gone for over a week, wild. Going to a climbing meetup when and literally making instant acquaintances. Insane. Good god I needed this.

Grateful to have gotten booster vaxxed but i did not need to wake up in the middle of the night sore as fuck. 😭

From sports i have learned that post-top trans guys are streamlined for swimming and luge, but at a disadvantage in ski jumping

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

This timeline is wild but if you had told 2016 Mich that their alma mater was gonna win the football playoff in a decade they would have said you are nuts.

Catalog 🤤

:)

I do like the analogy of putting your mask on before helping others to put on theirs. If your body is being starved of oxygen, you aren't thinking straight. You can't put on someone else's mask for them correctly because your mind is just fighting to stay alive. That's how I feel right now.

living in the 2020’s

Oh no please don't get a recipe off ChatGPT for a first date. That would be bad.

That's some...uh... suggestive choice made on where that hold went relative to those quick draws...

Not Tessa Violet dropping a new song that encapsulates the feeling I've had for months "And somewhere inside my body, I am saying, I don't want this anymore. And once I've heard it, then I've heard it"

I got surprised by a burpee seed catalog yesterday (had no idea I'd get one) and I'm not gonna lie, it is way more fun to browse print media. Bring back catalogs as the norm.

You know, I am so happy that 6 and 7 were able to have a healthy relationship in 2025. Back in my day 6 was afraid of 7.

My Canon printer is gonna turn 15 this year. I think aside from my 32" TV it's the only electronic device I still have from undergrad that is functioning perfectly. Please never die printer, never die.

Okay, this is a thread for U.S. folks, but also anybody facing political woes at home. I'm pinning this to my profile as an irregularly updated thread for advice and links on how to take action/take care of yourself. Scroll through it any time you need reminders (that's what I'll be doing myself).

Hello, I am the Lower New River (I laugh about it now)

How are normal people watching this gay hockey show? Because it's like super hot, I can't watch it without getting a little hot and bothered by the steamy and consent filled sex scenes.

I spent my Thanksgiving holiday pulling some of my house out of the depression mess it has been in for months.

something intensely t4t about this.

Never forget all the good people who live in red states.

I love and respect tags and content warnings for stories. I think it's great that people are able to evaluate whether or not they might want to view/read/listen to a piece of media based on whether there might be something really upsetting to them. But....

Printshop at work let me use their paper guillotine to trim up the edges of this journal I am working on as a gift for a friend. I love bookbinding projects. It's fun to design the print, do the stitching and doing the cover but trimming the edges I dread because I don't have a good cutter for it.

Lillia's character arc in Agatha All Along is probably my favorite.

Hank Green: Makes a post on Esther Day about how he loves his brother. Me: Damnit, I need to tell my friends I love them, but saying it online, like on Insta after my musing about my IRL life seems kinda shallow. I'll message everyone individually. Me: Proceeds to cry through writing each message

Sometimes I go onto my old internet haunts (front page of my Tumblr, Twitter, etc) and I get nostalgic for how I used to interact with online spaces. Some spaces feel frozen in time like my Tumblr, and other completely warped like Twitter. I sometimes miss it...

What if I twitch streamed me working on this silly planner I am making in Publisher before it unceremoniously dies in October 2026?

All my coworkers who responded to my out of office email telling me to enjoy my time off. Meanwhile, I would rank getting an IUD swap after Testosterone and the previous IUD has shut the place down for 5 years a 0/10 experience.

The universe gave me the brain that let's me look at code and make sense of it eventually but could only give me the organizational skills of a squirrel hiding nuts for winter.

Was asked in a job interview what I think is the biggest risk I've taken whether at work or in my personal life. I answered getting into rock climbing in my 30s after over a decade of really very little physical activity. But really, coming out as trans and deciding to pursue medical transition was

I also got a CrunchyRoll subscription again. I put on Yu-Gi-Oh! and you know? I always told my ex that I thought JoJo really didn't have much of a plot. But who am I kidding, YGO! is literally the strangest show if you think about it enough

I am attempting to like declutter my studio. I wanna create my creative space again!

It's my second time watching the Birdcage and lemme tell, it hit hard tonight in the scene where Armand is essentially sexually assaulted by his son's mother before Albert intervenes.

The Unicorn Escapes Captivity Tricky to print but I'm crowing triumphantly after a long afternoon at the slab whacking out a nice clean edition :) #linocut #printmaking #unicorn

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

I keep listening to That Funny Feeling on repeat after rewatching Inside the other day.

TikTok may be an app that just existed on your phone but if you've paid attention long enough, you'll realize that this is how things begin to get bad. This is government overreach, this is censorship, this is blocking freedom of speech and information.

its okay for things we create to be small scale. its okay for the game you make to be just for your circle of friends. its okay for the art you make to be just for you. its okay for the event you make to serve a small audience for a short period of time.

careful preparation

a reminder for today for those who need to hear it 🌈✨don't comment on people's bodies✨🌈

2025 Book Thread for anyone who cares. Its one of my 2025 Bingo card goals to read at least 4 books.

Lizard brain knows what's up: Bask in sun. Drink water. Climb rock.

Somehow I can't read gore or violence in fiction. I am starting Compound Fracture by Andrew Joseph White and like my brain just can imagine things to well. I don't have this problem as much with film media but I think it's cause I can handle it if it's unambiguously shown to me?

I'm watching Interstellar for the first time and we just got to the big wave planet and yo, I am so glad I didn't see this in IMAX.

I hate that social media just turned into people advertising.

I got my friend some food related gifts for Christmas and committed to the bit so hard I remade the Jersey Mike's logo. Kinda proud of this XD

everyone look at bippy schmoopy & loopy. its so urgent #digitalart #digitalartist #artist #illustration #furryart #plantart #furry #floraart #dandelions #botanyart

It's gonna be a bit before I get everyone followed cause I really gotta sit down and do it D:

I haven't drawn in forever let alone colored something. Wanted to draw anime food, so have some cherry tomatoes. I still might try a lino print for this.
