This is a nightmare....

That autism shirt at the bottom is killing me in multiple ways. 💀

Wasn't supporting independent artists the entire point? This just feels ... lazy and detached, I guess.

Young furries, do not buy this repulsive slop

Support actual furry artists if you want silly furry merch, they're out there and they're happy to oblige, and you won't be feeding a machine looking to capitalize on your subculture

Corporate shitposting needed to be smothered in the crib, istg

This workshop will initiate with people from Mexico, Latin America and Europe to strengthen the ties of stop motion and collaboration and, in exchange, education will be provided for free for one Mexican / Latinamerican student for the first ten years also.

In this illustration you can see a scene set in Late Cretaceous Asia where an adult Deinocheirus is scaring away a pair of young Tarbosaurus

So cool!

IMO The only thing saving MAGA from being devoured by their own right now is that it's all happening to someone else.

Also, this man has never set foot on Southern private property.

FEMA encountered angry men with shotguns in the hills of NC after Helene. A fire chief was shot in a guy's driveway in AL while looking for help. My husband was threatened for being too close to someone's land.

How can they farm our personal data and observe our every habit from dishwashers? 🫠

it’s said all the time but I think we should continue to hammer home how insane it is that we got dead-eyed bros trying to sell us robots that will free us from the supposedly cruel burden of “creative careers” instead of the actual cruel burden of “doing menial household chores”

Definitely the money. 🤣

All I'm saying is if you drop something into pluff mud, the stuff is thick and slimy, and known to eat the shoes off your feet if it doesn't mire you completely. 😂 I like to think it's under a marsh somewhere, trolling us all while Teach's ghost gets a laugh at the expense of erstwhile hunters.

Annoyed that I'm finally going to bed in a reasonable manner, at a reasonable hour, and my brain chooses NOW to ask questions about pirate treasure. Specifically Blackbeard's, because I was a coastal girl for 18 years and it's part of the regional lore. 🤣🏴‍☠️🚢

His desperation is unreal. 😂 He will have his nightly spot on schedule, no matter the obstacle.

My thought, too!

Dance party protests might be one of the best moves right now.

These make fascists look ridiculous, counter the "Portland is dangerous" narrative, and showcase joy and community at a time when those things are in short supply. Keep it up.

California residents, call your state reps and demand they override Newsom’s veto!

I was blockaded into a kitchen and bitten by a " 'mini' " pig, who was apparently mad that I wasn't her owner, or something. She went on my 💩 list next to a very mean and clever rooster, and I never saw pigs the same way ever again.

Hope you feel better! 🫂 Been rough as hell myself, lately. That's why my interaction with Bksy has dropped to almost nothing. 😅😅

I made the mistake of ordering this just for myself one time, thinking there was no limit to how many fried livers I could eat. I was wrong. 🤣

Watching someone in my replies on Twitter asking Grok AI questions about my work (sensible, valid questions)… and wondering why they don’t just… y’know… ask me??! Just one more way that AI is eroding the artist/audience connection.

I've just now learned that Adobe's PDF signing feature is no longer standard. In a moment when I really need it. Like, today. There's a workaround so you can sign, but then you can't enter a date. Why in the hell should I pay to type a date? 😡

Ironically, I'm never online as much when I'm home, because I have access to other things to do. When I am, it's usually dopamine-seeking behavior.

So I've been trying to get away from that and get back to a healthy relationship with electronics.

So now I'm at home, trying to figure myself out. You know ... so I can go back to competently handling a 10-12K lb lift truck. Finally started that mental health journal I've been meaning to do, so I can record my progress and observations day by day. So ... yeah haven't been online as much./

Taking FMLA (medical leave) for mental health after some stuff went down at work. In short, the whole work-life balance thing wasn't balancing. I'd been meaning to see if I could do this for a while, though, and I guess the lesson here is that if you can, it doesn't hurt to ask./

Development drives up tax rates, and taxes locals out of their homes. These are historic communities established largely by freed slaves and their families after the Civil War. The rich can find somewhere else to play. Time and time again, locals are making it clear: the land is not up for grabs.
