a photo of some block prints on white paper laid out on a table, the prints are of a lava lamp with an orange and black striped base and top cap with yellow highlights. Inside the main lamp, instead of the usual lava, there are white ghosts floating around on a black background in a similar manner.
several block printed bookmarks laid out on a blue cutting mat. five on watercolor backgrounds, four on parchment patterned card stock. the block print is of a long wyvern like creature with feathery wings folded over it’s back, it is stretching out it’s long neck and breathing filigree like curls instead of fire. It’s tail extends behind it and splits into two and each end there is another smaller head, one looking straight back and the other curling up and around to look towards the main head.

A small kitchen table covered with various hand printed papers of various sizes and art, including a bunch of mushrooms on a black background, the top of a angry black cat’s head saying “DISOBEY”, Baba Yaga’s chicken legged hut, and a large dandelion between the words “Become Ungovernable “
Spent the evening making prints. Some are a bit old that i never got around to making proper prints of.
I really need to work up a better drying technique… luckily I use fast drying water based ink.
Individual photos coming eventually 😅

Black and white photo of a white cat, lying on a dark couch in a dark room. The high contrast makes the cat almost appear to glow while the couch and room almost disappear into darkness. The whole thing has a grainy look like a weird art film.
Cursed photo (but I mean that as a compliment). From my collection, no documented date/info.

A screenshot of a fediverse exchange between me and astrophysicist professor Heino Falcke. Me: What's something you've made that got unexpectedly popular? (Not necessarily hugely popular, but more than you thought it would.) Professor Falcke: A picture of a black hole 🤔
To counter all the cringy fediverse interactions that regularly get posted on here, here's a post of mine from 2024 where a question about unexpected popularity was answered by one of the scientists involved with publishing the first ever image of a black hole.

the no ICE in Minnesota bundle is full of super great video games AND ttrpg games and supplements.
but it makes browsing for specific types of games a nightmare.
what if I just want to look at the ttrpgs?
or just video games I can play in browser?

there's another really great itch charity bundle going around (link in comments) which once again brings up the question...
Has itch made a way for us to search through bundles by criteria other than title so we can narrow down results to be able to better find games that we want?

Screenshot from the WTForcast app showing a mostly clear blue sky over a rural landscape with a windmill to show wind speed. The temperature is -4 f (feels like -13) And the text says “partly cloudy and fucking cold. Is this some sort of sick fucking joke?”

finally got around to updating the fam #minecraft server
(1.21.10 - that was the latest version to which all our mods are updated)
as always it was a harrowing experience, & i have now used all my mental spoons for the week
still need to fix the server resource pack but that is going to have to wait
