Soon welcoming our good old friends from the Netherlands — and of course, they didn’t come empty-handed! 🇺🇦🇳🇱

The Aurora coming through, pinkish red, between several pine trees in the woods

Aurora in the woods!

Capitalism.

It was capitalism.

Capitalism leads to fascism. Like maggots lead to flies.

Let's fix the passive voice and the euphemism:

"[Donald] Trump 'spent' hours with [underage female] [VICTIM][of sex trafficking] at [notorious underage female sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein's] house."

Chuck Schumer faces mounting calls from Democrats to resign as Senate leader A half dozen House Democrats called for the Senate leader to step aside this week.

Friendly tip for folks. My discord got hacked yesterday and my computer was acting funky ever since. Turns out it was malware installed through a blender file I bought as part of an asset pack on CG Trader. I didn’t know blender files were being used this way, but I figured I’d spread the word.

Happy Yokai Day!

"Yokai: Shigeru Mizuki's Supernatural Parade" is out today! This is a tremendous collection of Mizuki's artwork, yokai encyclopedias, and an essay from me about Mizuki's role as a folklorist in Japan.

Good morning & happy #thicktrunktuesday. Couldn’t have captured a more beautiful scene in my garden. The last leaves on my magnificent #Beech & #Acer shot through with sparkling sunlight.

Impossible to pick just one picture from tonight’s northern lights show, but this one stood out as it got so bright that the snow was glowing pink🤩

A bright red glow reaches up into the darkness, illuminating the silhouettes of tall slightly scraggly, spruce trees

Swirls of green and red light sweep down from the sky, lighting up the forest and contrasting against the Stark silhouettes of trees

Dramatic swirls of green and red light swirl down from the middle of the sky, starkly contrasting against the bear of Poplar, tall Spruce trees.

Still more dramatic curtains of light sweep down from above in sheets of green and red. The tall bear poplars and spruce spires our starkly silhouetted.

I really need to get to bed, but I just poked my head out the back door again. This is the view from my deck. All of this is looking south. When the geomagnetic storms are like this, the oval overshoots me and stretches into the US, which is why so many are seeing it tonight. #aurora

Right wing debate senminat

A seminar I attended recently was called “How to Debate the Right Wing” and had this photo on the cover of the program guide.

If you haven’t seen it, this is the video.

It’s a serious problem that our government can respond to this video and claim that we didn’t see what we all saw.

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Governor Newsom delivers closing remarks at the Ministerial Meeting co-hosted by the COP30 Presidency, Brazil’s Ministry of Cities, and UN-Habitat.

California is a global climate powerhouse.

At #COP30 today, I met with leaders from around the world to double down on our work to confront the climate crisis, create good-paying jobs, and help protect Californians from natural disasters exacerbated by climate change.

My painting WINTRY FIELD

A little samurai silhouette stands on a cliff. A big tree grows to the left. The shole scene is circles by two circular shapes. A cat is hiding somewhere. Brushed ink on paper.

Daily sketch 🐈‍⬛️🪾🥷

Can you spot the cat ?

I have so much work today so I'll be less active here 🫩🫩🫩

Every time someone’s like “put that in the louvre,” my head now goes “and then steal it from the louvre, the security password is louvre”

this is literally never not accurate

If SCOTUS actually had ruled against feeding 42 million people, if you need to surrender at that point? they're actually starving millions of children so I accept any Senator saying, 'I will go on a hunger strike, but I can't let them starve four year olds'

We were about to get those court orders 🧵

SEATTLE: If you know someone who lives in Seattle and guess they probably voted for Katie Wilson for Mayor, your contribution to this fight is to text them this information about making sure they voted with their signature on the envelope! TEXT them NOW.

RANT — What’s the point… You and I are watching this country rot in real time.

Corrupt, racist, homophobic, misogynistic, greedy, power-hungry, fear-driven, ego-inflated, historically amnesic, morally bankrupt, violently patriotic but spiritually empty. 👇🏾

A northern harrier, a large but somewhat thin bird of prey with brown feathers, is seen mid-flight. The bird is backlit by early morning sunlight and is staring intently towards the camera.

A harrier on the hunt from this weekend 🪶

I wonder what MAGA will say about this
