Sometime a cursed ring is acceptable when the upside is that it makes you pretty #dnd #characterdesign

Cigna links executive pay to customer satisfaction as insurers face scrutiny U.S. health insurer Cigna Group will hire more staff in people-facing roles and link executive compensation to customer satisfaction as part of sweeping measures to address widespread criticism over medical care denials and delays.

Interesting 🤔

And so little, if anything, has changed. 😭😡

Will someone please, like, throw these fuckers into prison already?! Jfc

I’m just here at 3a doodling my DnD character because how important is sleep anyway?

a woman is sitting in a living room talking to someone and says " i mean it 's one banana " Alt: Animated gif of Lucille Bluth from Arrested Development talking to Michael (off-screen) and saying "I mean, it's one banana, Michael. What could it cost? 10 dollars?"

I cannot take Ramaswamy's assertion that foreign-born workers are better than Americans seriously when one of his complaints is that the latter is doing too much 'hanging out in malls' instead of extracurriculars. THE MALL?!

He's giving real 'out-of-touch with the common man' Lucille Bluth energy.

New glasses, wut up?

We need to continue to amplify how fuckin’ broken the healthcare system is in the US.

The GOP scares their base with the ‘death panels’ boogeyman regarding universal healthcare.

But we’ve always had them. Every essential care claim that is denied comes from what is essentially a death panel.

Sunset in the San Bernardino mountains, Dec 2024

Also, gorgeous sunset this evening

The owner of the studio I work out of sent me this picture! I’ve been waiting a while for this piece to be fired — I’m SO excited by the way it’s come out and it’s even more gorgeous in person. Can’t wait until it’s cooled enough for me to pick up 😍

It looked good and it wasn’t inedible but it was kind of flavorless. But! I know what I did wrong this time and what I’ll do next time. Onwards and upwards!

Cinnamon rolls warm and fresh out of the oven

Did some baking over the past few days. The apple pie wasn’t my best but both the bread and the cinnamon rolls were 😘

Y’all. I just met and chit-chatted with Gary Trousdale in line at the grocery store here in my little mountain town.

You know. Artist. Animator. Director. Did a bunch of little indie films such as ‘Atlantis’, ‘Beauty and the Beast’, ‘Kung Fu Panda’, etc.

😮😮😮

At this point in history, I wanted flying cars rather than a resurrection of the Great Depression and fascism.

I. FEEL. CHEATED.

If y’all need a little cheering up, here is my LPT:

Head to TikTok and spend time watching all the theater kids geeking out over Wicked. Between the reactions and the full-chest performances of Defying Gravity, it’s a joyful bright spot within so much gloom.

Thank you, theater nerds. 🩷💚

My sister-in-law sent us a belated housewarming present to celebrate our move from Los Angeles to a little town in the mountains. Perfection is too mild a word to describe this piece of art; it has more than earned its place of honor on our mantle. 💀💀💀

Oh, this is a picture from earlier in the year. But the dusting we got last week has ahead melted 😩

Good morning! Here’s a picture of my dogs. Try to have a great day today everyone in spite of *gestures around at everything *

Yeah, this is what I’ve been telling my friends who voted for Jill Stein in both 2016/2024. If they want to break the two party system, it has to start at the local and state levels and grow from there. It’s insane to try to create that change straight from the top.

Yeah, I definitely think the Republicans have more to lose if we move to RCV but I would not be shocked if a decent amount of Dems end up opposing it as well. I hope I’m wrong!

This doesn’t surprise me. Rank choice voting would allow third parties to possibly become viable and I can’t imagine Democrats or Republicans being okay with sharing power.

Yes. YES. Please, this.

This is just the beginning of my 3D printed cat army!

Why did we opt for an enclosed 3D printer?

I dunno. It’s a mystery.

My goal is to eventually design my own cookie cutters, pottery tools and miniatures. And recommendations on where to start?

II’ll never understand how they can excuse his racist/bigotry/homophobia/etc to vote their one issue. Last time he was elected, I was very much of the ‘they are stupid’ mindset. This time, I’m trying to understand better in the (perhaps futile) hope of reaching them in a way they can hear.

I’m trying to figure out if it is stupidity though. I mean, yes, there’s definitely a portion of his voters who fall into that category but all of them? So if it’s not stupidity, what was it? I think that’s what liberals and progressives need to figure out.

It just continues to boggle my mind that people didn’t see this? It seemed to be that he was being very clumsy and obvious in his deception.

Drew and I decided to get a 3D printer as a Christmas present to ourselves. It’s so cool! There’s a lot to learn and I want to figure out how to make my own designs eventually.

For now, we’re printing from existing designs. Here’s a highland cow cookie cutter that I printed tonight!

Bear that attacked luxury car was actually man in costume, insurance investigators say Three insurance claims involving a bear damaging luxury cars in California are now believed to be fraud after it was determined that the culprit was actually a man in a costume. Four Los Angeles re…

My little mountain town made the news in the dumbest way and can’t stop laughing. This is the most joy I’ve felt since Nov 5th. 💀💀💀
