I JUST WANNA EAT POTATOS AND CHEESE!

So, Twitter is full of nazis, Facebook is full of old nazis, Threads is filled with psychopathic engagement farmers, LinkedIn is filled with psychopaths, Mastodon is filled with mentally ill server admins that can shut everything down in an instant, and Bluesky is -gestures at evolving discourse-

A sketch page of a cat creature that has a long, leaf-like tail flowing behind it. The sketch appears to be exploring the movement of such a creature.

I appreciate all the people showing love and support to me. I’m so grateful honestly. It means a lot. The ban isn’t that big of a deal for me. I think it was wrong and the explanation was bullshit. But that’s ok and I accept. Social media comes and goes. I’m grateful for all the connections I was able to make and all the people I get to be connected with off Bluesky. More importantly, the world needs more people to give a fuck. More people to give a fuck about Palestinians, more people to give a fuck about disabled folks, more people to give a fuck about our queer and trans siblings, more people to give a fuck about Black liberation. The world, and Bluesky, is full of bootlickers who will do anything to avoid doing anything to upset the status quo. These people are cowards groveling to those in power in hopes of protection. I just hope people continue to show love and care and kindness. Mutual aid is so important. Give when you can, boost when you can. We only survive this together.

Hear ye hear ye a message of hope and inspiration from our courageous leader in exile, Link. May all his loyal followers take heart!

Show me how you draw armor! 🛡️

A beautiful and very perfect tortie cat flopped on her side on a patterned red rub. My hand is under her chin and she looks blissfully happy as I stroke her.

Best and perfect Maeve!

I've just been trawling the prime deals and found cat food on sale! Story of my life, searching for cat food deals 😂😂😂😂

Infographic featuring a photo of a capybara. Writing Alt Text: identify who, expression, description, color, and interesting features. The completed example reads, “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.”

Screenshot of the bluesky accessibility settings that shows the “require alt text before posting” setting toggled on and underlined for emphasis.

Link & I were mutuals. While he’s gone, I encourage you to support some of his causes:

1) Use alt text on all images to support disability justice. Adjust your bsky settings: settings > accessibility > require alt text.

2) Reply here with mutual aid requests. Donate if you can, boost if you can’t.

Time for my annual Covid/flu Vaccine PSA for Toronto folks:

If you have mobility issues and need a vaccine at home, Toronto Paramedic Services will come to you! You don’t have to be a senior to qualify. (I was referred by a TPH nurse but self-referral is fine)

🧵Spotted While Cafe Writing and Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:

Two burly men (30s?) are sitting across from each other. Both have tiny brand new humans strapped in slings across their chests.
Tucking into fry-up breakfasts, comparing notes on sleeplessness and being new dads. (1)

You're looking at a large yellow gold beast, AKA a kiwi cheese scone, sitting on a white stoneware plate. It dominates the plate and the small bowl featuring two hefty triangles of butter next to it. If you were to lift this scone, you would feel its heft. This scone sees cheese and says give me more! You know that if you tapped the top of this scone it would make an ominous hollow sound that, if you know your cheese scones, promises a delicious crunchy top with a soft interior. Also on this table, admiring this scone is a yellow tea cup sitting on a blue saucer. A frankly inferior looking stainless steel teapot and milk jug containing just enough brew to wash down the scone. Elsewhere on the table is a comedic book from 1936 about Gardening and my notebook that I was using to jot spotted notes. It's brown covered and nondescript, unlike the scone of might. Which is easy to descript. It is majestic.

BEHOLD the majesty of the Kiwi cheese scone. This scone isn't here for a fancy tea. This scone has come to rumble. This scone demands MORE butter. This scone has OPINIONS about jam. This scone is three square meals and elevenses. This scone has HEFT.
You do not eat this scone. You experience it.

🧵Spotted at a Beer Garden Record Store Sale in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A teen (15?) has spotted Hot Chocolate's single, 'You Sexy Thing'. He calls over a friend and says: "I've got something to say about this eh."
His friend says: "Your new theme song?"
Teen nods with a goofy grin. "Could be."(1)

🧵Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A young human (10?) reverentially pulls two brand new paperback fantasy tomes from a crisp paper bag. He examines the covers in fine detail before carefully stowing them away again. Magnificent treasures to read later. (1)

me, fiasco, a fluffy grey tabby with a white bib and white toes, on very high alert, lying in a rectangular grey cat bed with my front paws over the edge, looking to the left.

PROLLY STOLEN GOODS

Colored 2d drawings of five anthropomorphic animal characters. A king eagle, a cat in a red skirt with a pumpkin helmet, a regal falcon woman in a blue dress, a small rock dove woman in multicolored scale mail, and a tall moose woman in a dark cloak and green traveling clothes.

(Hoping Bsky won't compress the hell out of this image this time :,) )

Here is the whole gang in scale with one another! Chloe makes Josaphine look so tiny!!

I worked really hard on these and I hope it shows ❤️

The speed at which we normalized groceries being ludicrously expensive is so demoralizing.

I'm so proud of my sister, who was head writer for Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood and is now the showrunner of this brand-new HORTON! series for Netflix.

Please watch with your family! It's hard to get preschool shows made these days, and the algo isn't built for this www.netflix.com/title/81388347

A comic strip. The first panel shows a throne room. The king listens as three citizens... The dragon, lizard man, and Carnival game operator from previous comics... Describe how they have been antagonized by a mysterious cat. There is no text in the comic: Their speech balloons contain pictures depicting what happened to them. The dragons speech balloon shows a shadowy figure stealing his gold. The lizard man 's speech balloon shows a shadowy figure lighting his tail on fire. The carnival game operator's speech balloon shows a shadowy figure stealing two of his cups. The King asks who this shadowy figure was. His question is depicted as a speech balloon with a silhouette inside marked with a question mark. The citizens respond by identifying the assailant as the magic cat seen in previous Comics. Their speech balloon shows a picture of the cat in it. The king then looks surprised as the cat reaches outside of the speech balloon, grabs his crown, and steals it. He yells as the cat runs away.

Yoink

A four panel comic, showing how the hero dog and cat mage use the pencils they acquired in the previous comic. The dog uses it to fix all the crimes caused by the cat... He draws the king a new crown, draws new gold for the dragon, and also appears to have helped the lizard warrior and carnival game operator. (All these characters appeared in earlier comics.) The dog then uses the pencil to draw a giant pile of bones. We can see that the pencil is getting shorter as he uses it to draw so many. In the last panel, we see the cat is using her pencil to draw a replacement for her missing magic staff... The staff she used to pull all those crimes in the first place.

Making things right

A comic page! The dog hero and cat mage have washed ashore with the giant pencil. The cat breaks it in half and sharpens the second piece so that they now have two useable pencils. The cat draws the outline of a bone on the ground, and the dog discovers that it becomes a real bone they can pick up. In the last panel, the cat points to the second pencil, saying the dog can keep it. She has a speech bubble with the pencil in it. The dog, with hearts in his eyes, has a speech bubble full of a pile of bones as he imagines the potential of his new pencil.

Sausages With Beans and Peppers This recipe uses Italian sausages, and I specify them advisedly; being 100% meat and loosely packed, they cook much faster than the densely-woven, finer-textured English sausage. If you are making thi...

Illustration of a knight or paladin or swordfighter in chainmail and cloak, drawing her sword, stepping over a water surface towards the viewer. Behind her, a flock of swans rises up into the sky.

A young woman in 15th century inspired black plate armor, looking wistfully and holding a longsword that has a magical golden light emanating from it. Behind her is a rich colorful tapestry with late Medieval motifs that's interwoven with gold thread.

King Arthur sits on the ground next to a mossy rock, proudly thrusting the sword Excalibur up into the air, suggesting that he's just drawn it out from the stone. It has a magical blue glow. In the background, some people cheer his success, while a few others seem miffed about it.

Hi #PortfolioDay! I’m an illustrator with a focus on fantasy, history & narrative illustration.

My dream is to illustrate more book covers with beautiful badass characters, especially women in armor. Please make it happen, universe 🙏
