Catalyst Echo

Yeah, we're okay. They're happy I can't go anywhere. I am a litttttttle cabin fever about it

I am very snowed in. I dug my car out and, as I did so, I watched several people fail to traverse the hill I live on.

Not only would I say it exactly like that, I would also make a #short about it and use it to promote the episode. Sorry (not sorry) @melo.graphics !

Normally I don't make a short that is just the intro of the episode but @melo.graphics killed it with this one. There is more to it as well. SEE YOU THERE!

🎥 LIVE PREMIERE: Tomorrow @ 6pm PT | 9pm ET

do the thing! Watch the short-y short. Please and thank you.

Your daily reminder that Trump absolutely can fund SNAP through contingency funds.

He absolutely can prevent 42 million Americans — including 20 million children — from going hungry next month.

He is choosing not to. Don’t let him lie his way out of this.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

I'm really excited about this episode because we go over so much great information and give you the tools to help you use every color in your crayon box with more confidence.

This WEEKEND!

Have you ever wondered why color just doesn't work the way you'd like it to? Or how to make your color choices accessible? Or why color doesn't print the way it appears on your screen? If so, this is the episode for you.

#ArtInq

This is a fantastic episode and, believe me, I have really checked. It marks my #video #editing debut! #Color #theory is one of my all time favorite subjects. @melo.graphics & I break it down in a fun way and, in our usual fashion, we did a #co-host #challenge as well!

See you there!

I made a heavy armor look in ESO (heavy armor is something I almost always avoid in elder scrolls games but I wanted to try it out) for this contest, and it was featured as an honorable mention! Not bad for someone who just started to play again. Check it out!

AHHHHH!!! MY CAR IS ON THE WAY!! They're running EARLY! EARLY I SAY!

Ahhhhh, very likely! Thanks for shedding some luminosity on this punchline for me.

This may be a tint of pettiness on my part, but these are shades.

@art-inquiry.com creates extremely high resolution files. Editing for the latest episode just taught me about proxies. I managed to set up the cameras in their frames, recreating it using the asset files @melo.graphics developed from our awesome design. #MadebyMELO #CreatedByCat #ArtInq #Editing

HOLY F'ING CRAP. I just bought a car on the frikken internet.

You all don't know how much I need this today. @dimension20.bsky.social is a load-bearing structure propping up my mental health (among other things, for sure)

Yesterday was the last day to qualify for the EV tax credit. Tariffs have driven costs up. I still have to buy a car. So I am combing through my finances looking for stray money, hoping I can cut yet more things to afford a car payment and insurance costs.

I was never a huge dice roller in TTRPG. We always used the rule of cool ... but it's situations like this, the gamble of it all, the meme of Murph never rolling well .... I love live play. 💜💜💜💜

So, here's the thing. I'm probably going to impulse buy a car on Carvana

Ha!! I saved a couple. But I am trying to wait until I hear back from the garage about what mine will take to fix. I legit almost added a cute, black Hyundai to my cart, though, after they orequalified me. They deliver, you know.

Repeat after me, self. We will not impulse buy a car on Carvana. We will NOT impulse buy a car on Carvana.
