Oof

The more relevant part for me is/was that despite all that he’s still telling me this dark ass story about decapitation and loss with a degree of nonchalance and swagger and that’s just how he’s always been.

It involved a car accident in the 70’s. It’s hard to recount the specifics because my Dad was telling me the story over the phone from his hospital bed. His voice is weak and shaken from Parkinson’s and there was a persistent chatter of a television and various beeping medical monitors.

But did you see the game afterwards? 😅

That’s a really heartwarming gift!

The notion that we’ve run out of ideas is one of the most ridiculous statements I’ve ever heard. Ideas are a dime a dozen, we get rehashes of previous ideas because everyone’s trying to mitigate risk. Unproven ideas are risky by and it’s hard to take risks when everyone is living in a razors edge.

Have you even talked to your parents on Christmas if you don’t get at least one story from the family lore that involves a double decapitation?

Look, I can’t even pretend to claim that I’m smart enough to fully appreciate this but I’m at at least smart enough to appreciate that anything @hellomizk.bsky.social puts her hand to is worth taking a look at so there’s that.

Year in Review: 2025 — The Guild of Medievalist Makers On the 27th of April 2024, Eleanor Baker and I (Kristen) met at Oxford’s Vaults & Garden cafe to start scheming (image above taken from my comic diary). Laura Varnam joined in the scheming not lon...

As we come towards the close of the year we at the Guild of Medievalist Makers wanted to share our 'Year in Review: 2025', written by Guild co-founder @hellomizk.bsky.social.

Thank you to all of the Guild members who have made 2025 an excellent inaugural year🎉

I’m on iOS but this is what I get.

I’m guessing it’s moderated by default now. I don’t recall ever turning that on and you can’t even enable it through the app itself.

For real this is Butt Detective

PSA

Whenever you think your OCs are dumb as fuck, just remember:

Butt Detective is a legit actual thing

What could possibly go wrong?

That would still require them to have enough staff to do the work. Buying studios in a convenient way to acquire already established and working teams.

This is very clearly the direction in which things are headed, especially since so many of the people who built and maintained the tools the US IC has developed-in house have been fired or have left.

If you live in San Francisco, today is a good day to familiarize yourself with the San Francisco Rapid Response Network, which has a 24-hour hotline for reporting ICE raids, actually verifies those raid reports, and does attorney activation: sfilen.org/resources/sf...

I mean I think this is how you get Disco Elysium.

I did not consent to jump scares in my feed.

Lovely, there was an expedition of her work here in SF about a year ago. While I don’t know where she stood on such things it definitely felt like her male studies were a chore in comparison to her fem portraits.

Indeed - sadly I want to be like ‘well it depends on their definition of what a fine young boy means’ but if they’re putting it on a bus like that we can make some conclusions…

Check out the book ‘101 things I learned in architecture school’.

Damn, that’s great

I know for a lot of folks something like Folsom is all about kink and sexuality but today I just really felt very loved and accepted by friends and strangers regardless of that context.

If you're into the 1920s/30s and art depicting common people's lives and night scenes of New York, you'll love the art Martin Lewis (1881 – 1962) made.

Here's a small selection of his work;

Oh man, the compression really hammered that so here’s some detail shots.

For the record I’m still alive, I was lucky enough to land a new job after the post launch layoff but the new job has been very intense. I did manage to make this tree study that I’m happy with though so there’s that.

Good to see your face!

😂 My clothes are not that old but I’m deeply divided between my desire to see people I like that I only run into when I venture out into the world and my desire to avoid the complications of people I’d rather not deal with when venturing out into the world.
