Please stand for the ceremonial changing of the guard*.

Here is an otter snoot to help you through the day.

Ironically relating back to the original watchband post:
I liked wearing a watch before cellphones, it made me “The one with a watch” and I wasn’t late.
But I’m allergic to metals so most band styles wouldn’t work. You know what doesn’t have exposed metal (when my cover is on)? My phone.

Watching a yep4andy ice cream tasting video and she’s like “I don’t know what day of the week it is, it’s none of my business”, and I felt that.

You are one of like, 2 GO artists I have notifications on for, I never want to miss the updates to this one. It’s so lovely!

Eufy robot vacuum error log Gym-Bulked Chihuahua. Yesterday, 9:09 AM Side brushes are stuck. Turn off and remove any hair/debris caught in the side brushes. Terroristic Husky Yesterday, 7:56 AM Bumper is stuck. Tap bumper several times to dislodge any debris that may be trapped underneath. Belligerent Sausage Mon 3:27 PM Bumper is stuck.

Behold, my robot army.
They do their best.

Tried to sneak a photo of a cute doggo and accidentally had long exposure on and I believe I have created man’s greatest expression of art

Ends of a double rainbow over a harvested cornfield. The left (inner) bow is bright and pigmented.

I cannot begin to describe how saturated that left rainbow looks in person. It’s like you could physically walk into it and be blanketed in color.

FB post from 2009: Law monkey think maybe professor want to write Goddamn appellate brief himself....

There is a highly specific point of culture that happened about 16 years ago that keeps showing up on FB memories and clearly needs to be studied extensively.

I massively overbought on candy last year and we couldn’t get through the leftovers. This year trick-or-treaters are getting Rice Krispies treats or fruit snacks, because those are things we WILL eat.
tbh I’d’ve loved to get them as a kid too.
I’m also doing a non-food bucket I’m very excited about.

The power is out here for some reason and the eufys are all very upset that their homes are not ‘available’.

It rained here for the first time in weeks (months? who knows anymore) and people are reacting appropriately.

vvvvvvv proud

Sara Whitmer • • • 1h • 8 I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town. Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming. Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance. 75 12 comments

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

Because you guys asked for it, the art calendars are back 😊 A3, double-sided, 6 varieties to choose from. $30 plus worldwide shipping (US orders are fulfilled locally, so no pesky tariffs). ko-fi.com/andycwhite/s...

And then there are the former days where I pull out some stuff I printed early on and realize my sight-reading and muscle memory are light years better than they were back then.

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

A layered set of paper with an Oboe 1 music folder, a Code of Ordinances at the Control of Vegetation section I was editing, and violin sheet music for the Good Omens title theme.

Started shuffling my music stand to clear a bit off and damn if this isn’t a perfect representation of me.

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today

I got two absolutely unhinged replies yesterday to a joke comment I made about Kiera Knightly. Have I finally made it? Is this the Bluesky experience?

To the point where “should I change out of my Christmas possum sweatshirt for this meeting with patent counsel” is merely a passing thought.
The sweatshirt stays.

Spoiler for Clues by Sam, I guess, but too good not to share.

Checking with coworkers when a PI starts yelling at the top of the tree:
Is this guy actually important or does he just have the audacity?

This Halloween I’m gonna chase the high of the best comment I got last year: Your house smells nice.

I mainly remember do it only because mine yells at me if I don’t because I have the setting turned on, lol.

monster fucker kinsey scale incoming don't ever tell me what i can't do, son 0: Has literally no desire to fuck any monsters whatsoever what the fuck 1: Prefers humans, but would consider fucking more humanoid monsters 2: Kinda prefers humans, but wouldn't pass on the oportunity to fuck a cryptid 3: Equally likely to get caught riding a human or a monster 4: Mostly into monsters, probably has a list of humans they want to blow their back out 5: Generally into monsters, can see why someone might like That One Human 6: Is currently trying to get rawed by at least two cryptids behind a Denny's X: Doesn't want to fuck monsters or humans

Alt because the text was far too much for a single post 👾

Get in loser, we’re cancelling Kiera Knightly.

Idk if you specifically want used or new, but if new is an option, Ikea Brimnes and Rakkestad may have options, and they come in black, about $200. Pax also looks like but only in brown and a fair bit more $.

Some nights I can tell that I’ve been practicing violin for 6 months.
Other nights I feel like I’m relearning how to even hold the bow.
Tonight was the latter…
